Porcine Pancreatic Elastase/Na-Complex
Overview
Porcine pancreatic elastase has been crystallized at slightly acidic pH, under two similar but slightly different conditions. Diffraction data were, collected at a wavelength of 1.5 A to a maximum resolution of 1.7 A. Both, difference electron-density maps and anomalous difference electron-density, maps suggest that in crystals grown from a sodium sulfate solution PPE, binds Na(+) in its metal-binding site. In contrast, PPE binds Ca(2+) in, crystals grown from a solution containing sodium citrate and calcium, chloride. This observation is in contradiction to most PPE structures, reported in the PDB. In addition to the metal-binding site, up to three, other binding sites, which appear to be anion-binding sites, could be, identified based on the observed anomalous intensity differences.
