Abstract
The matrix protein, M1, of influenza virus strain A/PR/8/34 has been p urified from virions and crystallized. The crystals consist of a stabl e fragment (18kDa) of the M1 protein. X-ray diffraction studies indica ted that the crystals are in space group P3(1)21 or P3(2)21, with alph a = 66.17, c = 135.30 Angstrom. V-m calculations showed that there are two monomers in the asymmetric unit.
