Abstract excerpt
The editing or hydrolytic CP1 domain of leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS) hydrolyses several misactivated amino acids. The CP1 domain of Aquifex aeolicus LeuRS was expressed, purified and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using ammonium sulfate as precipitant. Crystals belong to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 38.8, b = 98.4, c = 116.7 A. Crystals diffract to beyond...
