Abstract excerpt
The mutant T4 phage lysozyme in which isoleucine 3 is replaced by proline (I3P) crystallizes in an orthorhombic form with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Relative to wild-type lysozyme, which crystallizes in a trigonal form, the two I3P molecules undergo large hinge-bending displacements with the alignments of the amino-terminal and carboxy-terminal domains changed by 28.9 degrees and 32.9...
