Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies of pink color chromoprotein from Pleurotus salmoneostramineus L. Vass.

A chromoprotein from Pleurotus salmoneostramineus L. Vass. has been purified and crystallized. The needle-shaped crystal has monoclinic space group C2 with the cell dimensions of a = 118.5, b= 59.7,0 c = 31.8 Å and β = 114°. The crystal diffracts to 1.8 Å resolution with a synchrotron radiation X-ray source.
