The crystal structure of CcdB, a protein that poisons Escherichia coli gyrase, was determined in three crystal forms.

In one of the loops of the sheet, a second small three-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet is inserted that sticks out of the molecule as a wing. This wing contains the LysC proteolytic...
