Para-nitrophenol 4-monooxygenase (PnpA) plays an important role in bacterial degradation of para-nitrophenol by oxidative release of the nitro group from the aromatic ring to form p-benzoquinone. In order to understand the structural basis of the function of this enzyme, PnpA was cloned, expressed in Escherichia coli and purified. PnpA was crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique with PEG 4000 as precipitant. The PnpA crystals belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-c ...[more]
