We have purified
and crystallized four proteins that are
|
|
|
not stable in an
oxygen environment
|
|
• |
The structure of
one of these proteins (rubrerythrin) has
|
|
|
been solved using
anaerobic techniques as of this
|
|
|
moment.
|
|
|
– |
This protein was
previously solved with zinc being coordinated in
|
|
an aerobic
environment
|
|
|
– |
The native
protein contains iron but is unstable in oxygen
|
|
|
– |
We now have the
native iron form of this oxygen labile protein
|
|
|
through using
this system
