The thioredoxin reductase isolated from S. solfataricus has been crystallized. Diffraction data have been collected from the wild type and from the NADP-bound form of the enzyme to 1.80 and 1.95 Å, respectively. The structure of the thioredoxin reductase has been solved using MAD diffraction data. A thermostable thioredoxin reductase isolated from Sulfolobus solfataricus (SsTrxR) has been successfully crystallized in the absence and in the presence of NADP. Two different crystal forms have been obtained. Crystals of the form that yields higher resolution data (1.8 Å) belong to space group P2{sub 1}2{sub 1}2{sub 1}, with unit-cell parameters a = 76.77, b = 120.68, c = 126.85 Å. The structure of the enzyme has been solved by MAD methods using the anomalous signal from the Se atoms of selenomethionine-labelled SsTrxR.
