Acinetobacter sp. L-ribose isomerase (L-RI) catalyzes a reversible isomerization reaction between L-ribose and L-ribulose. To date, information on L-RI remains limited and its amino-acid sequence shows no similarity to those of any known enzymes. Here, recombinant His-tagged L-RI was successfully overexpressed, purified and crystallized. Crystals of His-tagged L-RI were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at room temperature as two crystal forms which belonged to the monoclinic ...[more]
