An X-ray Crystallographic Study of Ceruloplasmin

Human ceruloplasmin crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I 4 with a = b = 268 A and c = 129 A. The asymmetric unit consists of two molecules of ceruloplasmin of molecular weight 132,000. Taken in conjunction with the published value for the total protein-bound copper, these results indicate th...

Description
Summary:Human ceruloplasmin crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I 4 with a = b = 268 A and c = 129 A. The asymmetric unit consists of two molecules of ceruloplasmin of molecular weight 132,000. Taken in conjunction with the published value for the total protein-bound copper, these results indicate that there are 6 copper atoms in each ceruloplasmin molecule.
