Abstract
DNA polymerase II of
Escherichia coli, an α-like or group B polymerase, has been crystallized. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group
P 2
12
12, with cell dimensions
a
=94·4 Å
b
=118·2 Å,
c
=84·2 Å and diffract to at least 3·0 Å resolution. This is the first example of a group B polymerase to be crystallized.
