Nitrophorins (nitric oxide transport proteins) are haemproteins originating from the blood-feeding insect Rhodnius prolixus. They consist of an eight-stranded β-barrel, which classifies them into the lipocalin family. Nitrophorin 7 (NP7) and the E27V mutant protein NP7(E27V) were crystallized at 277 K using the vapour-diffusion method with PEG as the precipitating agent. Data sets for wild-type NP7 and NP7(E27V) were collected to 1.80 Å resolution from single crystals at 100 K using synchrotron ...[more]
