Popis: Crystals of the monomeric and dimeric forms of human neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin have been grown in hanging-drop vapor-diffusion trials using PEG as a precipitating agent with recombinant protein expressed in a baculovirus-based system. Crystals of monomeric NGAL belong to the cubic space group P432 with lattice constants a = b = c = 126.6 Å; crystals of dimeric NGAL belong to the tetragonal space group P41212 (or its enantiomorph P43212) with lattice constants a = b = 54.14 and c = 121.56 Å. Isomorphous crystals of the NGAL dimer can be grown in the presence of ligand: the tripeptide N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe.
