Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.8000015Å Ligands: Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function SAV_STRAV The biological function of streptavidin is not known. Forms a strong non-covalent specific complex with biotin (one molecule of biotin per subunit of streptavidin). Publication Abstract from PubMed We utilized electrostatic interaction to induce rapid crystallization of streptavidin. Simply mixing streptavidins possessing either a positively or negatively charged peptide at their C-terminus generated diffraction-quality crystals in a few hours. We modified the streptavidin crystals with fluorescent molecules using biotin, demonstrating the concept of protein crystals as functional biomaterials. Genetically fused charged peptides induce rapid crystallization of proteins.,Minamihata K, Tsukamoto K, Adachi M, Shimizu R, Mishina M, Kuroki R, Nagamune T Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Mar 5. doi: 10.1039/c9cc09529b.
