The Crystals of acidic phospholipase A2 from the venom of Agkistrodon blomhoffii bre-vicaudus (i.e. Agkistrodon halys pallas) covalently modified with p-bromo-phenacylbromide wereobtained by the method of hanging drop vapor diffusion. Crystallization droplet was composedof 0.06mol’L-1 Na(CH3)2AsO2 (pH=6.5), 24.8% (v/v) 1,4-butanediol, and 4.5mg.mL-1 protein.The crystal data are ot a=b=82.82A., c=32.85A, space group P61. 8945 unique reflections with1.93A resolution were ineasured on a Siemens area detector X-ray diffractometor, of which 8069reflections haring F0 >2σ(F). The experimental results show that the crystals are suitable to astructure analysis of high resolution.
