2-Gaussian fit: Grosse-Kunstleve RW, Sauter NK, Adams PD: Newsletter of the IUCr Commission on Crystallographic Computing 2004, 3, 22-31.

PHOSPHOAMINOPHOSPHONIC ACID-GUANYLATE ESTER

Structural basis of kinetic polarity of FtsZ from a cell wall-less bacterium Spiroplasma

0.3M sodium acetate, 0.1M Tris pH 8.5, 15% w/v PEG 4000

The protein is majorly monomer but gives a minor peak at dimer at high protein concentration. The crystal structure shows domain swap dimer of the protein.
