Publication Abstract from PubMed
X-ray atomic structure of recombinant Hell's gate globin I (HGbI) from Methylacidophilum infernorum was calculated from the X-ray diffraction data of two different types of crystals: obtained by classical hanging drop and by LB nanotemplate method under the same crystallization conditions. After the accurate comparison of crystallographic parameters and electron density maps of two structures they appears to be quite similar, while the quality of the crystals grown by LB nanotemplate method was higher then of those grown by classical method. Indeed, the resolution of the LB crystal structure was 1.65 A, while classical crystals showed only 3.2 A resolution. Moreover, the reproducibility of this result in the case of LB crystals was much better - nine crystals from ten gave the same structural results, while only two of ten classical crystals were appropriate for the X ray structure resolution.
