Bacillus stearothermophilus glycerol dehydrogenase (GlyDH) is a 39.5 kDa molecular weight metalloenzyme which catalyzes the oxidation of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone with the concomitant reduction of NAD(+) to NADH. Despite its classification as a member of the 'iron-containing' polyol dehydrogenase family, studies on recombinant B. stearothermophilus GlyDH have shown this enzyme to be Zn(2+)-dependent. Crystals of a S305C GlyDH mutant were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method, using ammonium sulfate and PEG 400 as precipitating agents, in the presence and absence of NAD(+). The crystals belong to space group I422, with approximate unit-cell parameters a = b = 105, c = 149 A and one subunit in the asymmetric unit, corresponding to a packing density of 2.6 A(3) Da(-1). The crystals diffract X-rays to at least 1.8 A resolution on a synchrotron-radiation source. Determination of the structure will provide insights into the key determinations of catalytic activity of this class of enzymes, for which no structures are currently available.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
