The NAD(+)-dependent leucine dehydrogenase from Bacillus sphaericus has been crystallized by the hanging drop method of vapour diffusion, using ammonium sulphate as the precipitant. The crystals belong to the tetragonal system and are in space group I4, with unit cell dimensions of a = b = 138.4 A and c = 121.8 A. Considerations of the values of Vm, the space group symmetry and an analysis of a self-rotation function calculated on a preliminary data set collected to 3 A resolution show that the asymmetric unit contains a dimer with the twofold axis perpendicular to the crystallographic four fold, indicating that the quaternary structure of this enzyme is octameric. Leucine dehydrogenase belongs to a superfamily of amino acid dehydrogenases which display considerable differences in amino acid specificity and elucidation of its three-dimensional structure should enable the molecular basis of this differential specificity to be examined in detail.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009243 NAD A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH).
