Crystals of fasciculin 2 from green mamba snake venom. Preparation and preliminary x-ray analysis

J Biol Chem. 1989 Dec 15;264(35):21401-2.

Abstract

Fasciculin 2 from the venom of the green mamba, Dendroaspis angusticeps, has been crystallized. The crystals are tetragonal, with unit cell dimensions a = 48.9 A and c = 82.0 A, space group P 41 21 2 or P 43212. Density measurements and pseudocentering of the hko zone indicate that there are 16 molecules in the unit cell.
