Abstract
:

alpha-Galactosidases from thermophilic organisms have gained interest owing to their applications in the sugar industry. The alpha-galactosidases AgaA, AgaB and AgaA A355E mutant from Geobacillus stearothermophilus have been overexpressed in Escherichia coli. Crystals of AgaB and AgaA A355E have been obtained by the vapour-diffusion method and synchrotron data have been collected to 2.0 and 2.8 A resolution, respectively. Crystals of AgaB belong to space group I222 or I2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 87.5, b = 113.3, c = 161.6 A. Crystals of AgaA A355E belong to space group P3(1)21 or P3(2)21, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 150.1, c = 233.2 A.
