• Cyanase, an oligomeric enzyme of Escherichia coli that catalyzes the decomposition of cyanate to ammonia and bicarbonate, crystallizes in the space group P1 with unit cell parameters a = 85.96 A, b = 83.17 A, c = 83.28 A, alpha = 110.29 degrees, beta = 118.29 degrees and gamma = 72.40 degrees. Crystals diffract to a resolution of at least 2.5 A. The crystal data, in conjunction with a subunit molecular weight of 17,008, suggest that two oligomers are in the asymmetric unit of the crystal and that eight subunits comprise a single oligomer.
