Crystal structure of all-D monellin at 1.8 A resolution
Overview
The D-enantiomer of a potently sweet protein, monellin, has been, crystallized and analyzed by X-ray crystallography at 1.8 A resolut ion., Two crystal forms (I and II) appeared under crystallization conditions, similar, but not identical, to the crystallization conditions of natural, L-monellin. There are four molecules per asymmetric unit in crystal form I, and one in crystal form II. Crystal form I is not reproducible and is, equivalent to that of monoclinic L-monellin. Intermonomer contacts in, crystal form II are very different from those found in natural L-monellin, crystals. The backbone trace of D-monellin resembles very closely the, mirror image of that of L-monellin, but the N- and C-terminus backbones as, well as several side-chain conformations of D-monellin are different from, those of natural L-monellin. Most of these apparent differences may be, attributable to the crystal packing differences.
