[A new form of aspartate aminotransferase crystals]
Abstract:
A new crystal form of chicken cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1) has been grown using a mixture of ammonium sulfate with ethanol as a precipitant. Crystals of the enzyme belong to the space group P 2(1)2(1)2(1) having the following unit cell dimensions: a = 62.38 A, b = 117.41 A, c = 124.34 A. There is one molecule of the enzyme in the asymmetric unit. The crystals diffract at 1.8 A resolution.

Allosteric Proteins-ATCase
Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of L-aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate to N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate. This reaction is the first step in pyrimidine biosynthesis. UTP and CTP, the end products of the pyrimidine synthesis pathway,...
