Abstract

Alanine racemase (DadX_OF4), a dimeric endogenous PLP-dependent alkaline enzyme from alkaliphilic Bacillus pseudofirmus OF4, was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified with a His₆ tag in a form suitable for X-ray crystallographic analysis. Crystals were grown by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at 291 K using a solution containing 1.4 M sodium/potassium phosphate pH 8.2. The protein crystallized in space group P2₁2₁2₁, with two protein molecules in the asymmetric unit.
