Abstract
Cubic F432 crystals of recombinant mouse L-chain apoferritin were obtained by the hanging-drop technique with ammonium sulfate and cadmium sulfate as precipitants. The structure was refined to 2.1 and 1.6 Angstrom resolution from data obtained at room temperature and under cryogenic conditions, resp ectively. The structure of an eight-amino-acid loop insertion in the mouse sequence is found to be highly disordered both at room temperature and at l ow temperature.
