Abstract
The reaction center from the nonsulfur purple bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides has been crystallized in a new form. The crystals grew in the presence of polyethylene glycol 4000, the detergent β-octyl glucoside, and the amphiphiles heptane triol and benzamidine hydrochloride, using the sitting drop method. The space group of these crystals is tetragonal, P41(43)212, and the cell constants are a = b = 141.5 Å and c = 276.7 Å with probably 2 proteins per asymmetric unit. A native data set has been set collected to a resolution of 2.8 Å consisting of 56,332 unique reflections (50,731 with F>2σ) with an R(sym) of 9.5%. Analysis of the diffraction data is underway using molecular and isomorphous replacement.
