Notes:
Depressant insect toxins are a distinct group of scorpion neurotoxins for which no three-dimensional structures are yet available. A depressant insect toxin named BmK dITAP3 from the scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch (BmK) has been purified and crystallized. Single crystals of dITAP3 grew in the presence of the detergent CYMAL-6 using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method with ammonium sulfate as precipitant. A set of diffraction data to 2.6 Å resolution has been collected. Preliminary analysis of the diffraction data indicated that the crystal belonged to space group R3, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 73.29, c = 68.90 Å, α = β = 90, γ = 120°. Assuming two molecules in the asymmetric unit, the estimated solvent content is 53.4%.
