Abstract
The Fab fragments of several monoclonal antibodies that bind Staphylococcal nuclease have been screened for crystallization conditions. Two of these, N10 and N25, have been crystallized in forms suitable for X-ray structural analysis. The anti-Staphylococcal nuclease antibody complex N10 Fab-nuclease crystallizes with symmetry consistent with space group C2 and cell parameters of a = 234.7 Å; b = 43.5 Å; c = 74.4 Å; β = 106.4°. A second anti-Staphylococcal nuclease antibody, N25, although crystallized starting with the Fab-nuclease complex, apparently crystallizes as uncomplexed N25 Fab with symmetry consistent with space group P3121 (or its enantiomorph P3221) and cell parameters of a = b = 80.9 Å; c = 138.4 Å.
