Title:

Structure of mouse L-chain ferritin at 1.6 A resolution.

Journal:

Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr. 2001 Nov;57(Pt 11):1491-7. Epub 2001, Oct 25.

Abstract:

Cubic F432 crystals of recombinant mouse L-chain apoferritin were obtained by the hanging-drop technique with ammonium sulfate and cadmium sulfate as precipitants. The structure was refined to 2.1 and 1.6 A resolution from data obtained at room temperature and under cryogenic conditions, respectively. The structure of an eight-amino-acid loop insertion in the mouse sequence is found to be highly disordered both at room temperature and at low temperature.
