Notes:
Protein L is a multi domain cell wall constituent of certain strains of Peptostreptococcus magnus which binds to the variable domain of immunoglobulin κ-light chains. A single immunoglobulin-binding domain of Mr = 9000 from this protein has been isolated and crystallized. The crystals are of space group P42212, with cell dimensions a = b = 66.9 Å, c = 68.3 Å, and diffract to at least 2.2 Å resolution. The asymmetric unit of the crystal contains two molecules of the protein L domain, related by a noncrystallographic 2-fold axis, as revealed by a self-rotation function calculated with native diffraction data. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
