'''CHOLERA TOXIN B-PENTAMER COMPLEXED WITH GM1 PENTASACCHARIDE'''
===CHOLERA TOXIN B-PENTAMER COMPLEXED WITH GM1 PENTASACCHARIDE===
==Overview==
<!--
Crystals of the 61 kDa complex of the cholera toxin B-pentamer with the ganglioside GM1 receptor pentasaccharide diffract to near-atomic resolution. We have refined the crystallographic model for this complex using anisotropic displacement parameters for all atoms to a conventional crystallographic residual R=0.129 for all observed Bragg reflections in the resolution range 22 A to 1.25 A. Remarkably few residues show evidence of discrete conformational disorder. A notable exception is a minority conformation found for the Cys9 side-chain, which implies that the Cys9-Cys86 disulfide linkage is incompletely formed. In all five crystallographically independent instances, the peptide backbone in the region of the receptor-binding site shows evidence of strain, including unusual bond lengths and angles, and a highly non-planar (omega=153.7(7) degrees) peptide group between residues Gln49 and Val50. The location of well-ordered water molecules at the protein surface is notable reproduced among the five crystallographically independent copies of the peptide chain, both at the receptor-binding site and elsewhere. The 5-fold non-crystallographic symmetry of this complex allows an evaluation of the accuracy, reproducibility, and derived error estimates from refinement of large structures at near-atomic resolution. We find that blocked-matrix treatment of parameter covariance underestimates the uncertainty of atomic positions in the final model by approximately 10% relative to estimates based either on full-matrix inversion or on the 5-fold non-crystallographic symmetry.
