Abstrakt: The article presents information on a research study which examined the structural properties of the N-terminal fragment of Escherichia coli Lon protease. For the study, researchers used a two-step process for moving a clone of intact Escherichia coli Lon from plasmid pLon500 to the pET30a vector. They determined the structure of Lon-N245 through a single-wavelength anomolous diffraction of crystals of selenomethionine-containing protein. A comparison of the Lon structure with other putative substrate-binding domains of proteins is provided.
