Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-galactosidase is a highly glycosylated extracellular protein that catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha-galactosidic linkages in various glucids. Its enzymatic activity is of interest in many food-related industries and has biotechnological applications. Glycosylated and in vitro deglycosylated protein samples were both assayed for crystallization, but only the latter gave good-quality crystals that were suitable for X-ray crystallography. The crystals belonged to spac ...[more]
