Crystallographic properties of the MoFe proteins of nitrogenase from Clostridium pasteurianum and Azotobacter vinelandii.

Abstract:

:Preliminary x-ray diffraction data from single crystals of the MoFe proteins of nitrogenase from Clostridium pasteurianum and Azotobacter vinelandii have been obtained. Both protein crystals belong to the P2(1) space group. The MoFe protein crystals from C. pasteurianum and A. vinelandii diffract to angles corresponding to resolutions as great as 2.4 A and 3.0 A, respectively. The cell dimensions of the MoFe protein crystals from the two species have been determined from precession photographs.

  • Coculturing diverse clonal populations prevents the early-stage neoplastic progression that occurs in the separate clones.

    abstract::Most human cancers are of monoclonal origin and display many genetic alterations. In an effort to determine whether clonal expansion itself could account for the large number of genetic alterations, we compared spontaneous transformation in cloned and uncloned populations of NIH 3T3 cells. We have reported that progre...
