Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies on the thermostable catechol 2,3-dioxygenase of Bacillus stearothermophilus expressed in Escherichia coli.
The thermostable catechol 2,3-dioxygenase of Bacillus stearothermophilus has been crystallized. The crystal is probably in the space group I222 with unit-cell dimensions of a = 70.87, b = 74.60 and c = 133.69 A. A native data set has been collected with a completeness of 96% at 2.22 A resolution and an Rmerge value of 0.091.
