Abstract
A trypsin-activated CrylA(a) protein from Bacillus thuringiensis has b een purified and crystallized. Crystals belong to orthorhombic space g roup P2(1)2(1)2(1), with cell dimensions a = 53.3, b = 111.3 and c = 1 54.7 Angstrom. The crystals diffract to at least 2.2 Angstrom resoluti on and are suitable for X-ray structural analysis. They contain a sing le molecule in the asymmetric unit.
