Notes:
The extracellular bacteriolytic enzyme produced by Streptomyces globisporus shows a β-1,4-N,6-O-diacetylmuramidase activity as well as a β-1,4-N-acetylmuramidase activity. Crystals of this enzyme have been obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using polyethylene glycol as a precipitant. They belong to the tetragonal space group P41212, with unit-cell parameters a = 63.11 (4), c = 121.1 (1) Å, diffract to at least 2.0 Å resolution and are suitable for high-resolution structure analysis. The crystal structure was solved by molecular replacement using lysozyme produced by S. erythraeus as a search model. The structure refinement is now in progress.
