Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the thymidylate kinase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis thymidylate kinase complexed with the substrate deoxythymidine monophosphate was crystallized in the hexagonal space group P6(5)22 or P6(1)22, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 76.62, c = 134.38 A and one single monomer of 23 kDa in the asymmetric unit. Cryo-cooled crystals diffract at 1.94 A resolution using synchrotron radiation.
