[ccp4bb] advances in multisubunit membrane protein

[Fulvio Saccoccia, Sapienza]

Dear ccp4ers,

   I was wondering about most recent advances in production and 
crystallization of complexes of multisubunit membrane proteins, for 
instance succinate dehydrogenase, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex or even 
photosystem complex. As far as I know, many large complexes of membrane 
proteins were produced by tittues extraction rather than by recombinant 
expression but I want to know if there is room to work with these large 
assemblies by using recombinant proteins.

Best wishes


Fulvio
