Ptoc Natl Acad Sci USA 1996, 93:4937-4941. The use of histidines to nucleate two-dimensional (2D) crystals extends the range of soluble proteins which may be crystallized in this manner. In addition to providing materials for structure determination by electron diffraction, 2D crystals can serve as seeds for exitaxial growth of three-dimensional crystals. Such crystals could also form the basic structures of biosensors.

This raises the important issue of why so much. The authors suggest that the cross-link works by suppressing large-scale, concerted structural fluctuations.

As such it provides a good starting point to gain a perspective on microbial xylanases.

In this work, the catalytic consequences of changing this distance are explored.
