Research Abstract |
We succeeded obtaining a big crystal of PcyA, a ferredoxin-dependent bilin reductase, which biosynthesizes an important pigment pytochromobilin. The crystal diffracted neutron up to 2.6 A resolution. If we can obtain bigger crystal than this one, we will able to structural analysis beyond 2 A resolution, and determine the position of hydrogen atoms in the structure. The reaction mechanism will be elucidated, soon.
