    Area of Science:

    • Protein structure and folding
    • Structural biology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Protein structures reveal recurring folding motifs.
    • The four-antiparellel alpha-helix bundle is a common motif.
    • Haemerythrins exhibit diverse quaternary arrangements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the subunit structure of trimeric haemerythrin.
    • To analyze the intersubunit helix-helix interactions in haemerythrin.
    • To explore novel methods for low-resolution structure determination.

    Main Methods:

    • X-ray crystallography was employed to study protein structure.
    • Anomalous scattering from iron atoms was used for phase determination.
    • The resolved-anomalous phasing procedure was utilized.
