Structure of phage 434 Cro protein at 2.35 A resolution

J Mol Biol. 1989 Jan 5;205(1):179-88. doi: 10.1016/0022-2836(89)90374-4.

Abstract

The crystal structure of phage 434 Cro protein has been determined and refined against 2.35 A data to an R-factor of 19.5%. The protein comprises five alpha-helices and shows the helix-turn-helix motif found in other repressor proteins.
