摘要
Hexameric insulin has been crystallized from different conditions in a variety of crystalline modifications. In the presence of approximately 1% phenol and at a pH of 8.5, a new rhombohedral form is produced, space group R3, a = 79.92angstrom and c = 40.39angstrom, in which the asymmetric unit consists of a dimer. The structure has been solved and refined, using data between 8.0 and 2.5angstrom resolution, to a residual of 0.157. The two monomers in the asymmetric unit have nearly identical R conformations, that is, residues BI through B8 are alpha-helical, producing a continuous alpha-helix from B1 through B19. A phenol molecule is hydrogen bonded to the carbonyl oxygen of A6 Cys of each monomer. Small differences in conformation and the final (2F(o)-F(c)) and difference electron density maps suggest that an additional phenol molecule is coordinated to one of the two zinc ions.
