Abstract

HhaII restriction endonuclease purified from an overproducing recombinant E. coli clone has been cocrystallized with a heptanucleotide duplex, d‐GGAGTCC:GGACTCC. The cocrystals are monoclonic and belong to the space group C2. The unit cell dimensions are a = 199.0±1.0 Å, b = 100.0±0.5 Å, c = 80.3±0.4 Å, and β = 101.0±1.0°. There appear to be two dimers per asymmetric unit and the crystals diffract to 4‐Å resolution.
