Abstract

A bacterial glutathione S-transferase from Pseudomonas sp. DJ77 has been crystallized. The crystals diffract to at least $2.3\;\AA$ resolution, and belong to the orthorhombic space group $P2_{1}2_{1}2_{1}$, with cell parameters $a=97.4\;\AA,\;b=100.3\;\AA$, and $c=46.0\;\AA$. There is one dimer molecule of pGST per crystallographic asymmetric unit. with the crystal volume per protein mass of $2.34\;\AA^3/dalton$ and a solvent content of about 47% (v/v).
