== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
PpcA is a small protein with 71 residues that contains three covalently bound hemes. The structures of single mutants at residue 58 have shown larger deviations in another part of the protein molecule than at the site of the mutation. Closer examination of the crystal packing has revealed the origin of this unexpected structural change. The site of mutation is within Van der Waals distance from another protein molecule related by a crystallographic twofold axis within the crystal. The structural changes occurred at or near the mutation site have led to a slight adjustment of the surface residues in contact. The observed deviations between the native and the mutant molecular structures are derived from the new crystal packing even though the two crystals are essentially isomorphous. Without careful consideration of the crystal lattice a non-expert looking at only the coordinates deposited in the Protein Data Bank could draw erroneous conclusion that mutation in one part of the molecule affected the structure of the protein in a distant part of the molecule.
