The diffraction pattern of the crystal extends to 0.27 nm resolution at 100 K using Cu K¦Á radiation. The crystal belongs to the space group P212121 with unit cell dimensions of a = 6.399, b = 10.439 and c = 16.953 nm. The presence of two molecules per asymmetric unit gives a crystal volume per protein mass (Vm) of 0.0022 nm3 Da 1 and a solvent content of 43% by volume. A full set of X-ray diffraction data were collected to 0.3 nm from the native crystal. %K AARE %K Aeropyrum. pernix %K orthorhombic crystal %K asymmetric unit %U http://link.springer.com/article/10.1360/03tb9031
