Abstract

Malate dehydrogenase from the extreme halophile Halobacterium marismortui crystallizes in highly concentrated phosphate solution in space group I2 with cell dimensions a = 113.8 A ̊, b = 122.8 A ̊, c = 126.7 A ̊, β = 98.1 °. The halophilic enzyme was found to be unstable at lower concentrations of phosphate. It associates with unusually large amounts of water and salt, and the combined particle volume shows a tight fit in the unit cell.
