Hemodynamic resuscitation, source control, and delayed abdominal closure are the three fundamental steps for open abdomen (OA) management. When to start delayed abdominal closure and how to determine which delayed closure method should be applied to each OA patient...

Crystallization of rat procathepsin B.

Acta crystallographica. Section D, Biological crystallography

Sivaraman J, Coloumbe R, Magny MC, Mason P, Mort JS, Cygler M.
PMID: 15299656
Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr. 1996 Jul 01;52:874-5. doi: 10.1107/S0907444996001801.

Rat procathepsin B has been expressed in the yeast Pichia pastoris. To facilitate crystallization of the proform two mutations were introduced: Cys29Ser to avoid self-processing and Ser115Ala to eliminate an N-glycosylation site. The recombinant protein was purified and crystallized...
