Popis: A protein constituent of the outer membrane from Neisseria meningitidis (hereafter called P64K) has been crystallized using the hanging drop technique. Crystals are tetragonal with unit cell dimensions a = b = 136·84 A and c = 78·44 A, compatible with a single monomer of 64 kDa in the asymmetric unit. When exposed to high intensity synchrotron radiation, these crystals diffract X-rays to at least 2·9 A resolution, indicating that a high resolution structure analysis is feasible.
