N2 - X-ray examination of large crystals of glutamate dehydrogenase prepared from yellowfin tuna liver indicate that the crystals belong to space group I23 (or I213) with a = b = c = 228·4 Å. The unit cell contains 72 subunits (12 hexameric molecules) of molecular weight about 55,500, and there is one half-molecule, i.e. three subunits in the asymmetric unit. The X-ray diffraction data indicate that the crystalline tuna liver glutamate dehydrogenase appears more suitable for structural analysis than the previously obtained crystals of the rat liver enzyme (Birktoft et al., 1979).
