Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide produced by oral bacteria is responsible for oral malodour. Two homologous hydrogen sulfide‐producing enzymes, Fn1220 and Cdl, from Fusobacterium nucleatum (which actively produces hydrogen sulfide) were overproduced, purified and crystallized. X‐ray diffraction data were collected from the crystals using a synchrotron‐radiation source. The Fn1220 crystal belonged to tetragonal space group P41212 or P43212 (unit‐cell parameters a = b = 116.8, c = 99.2 Å) and the Cdl crystal belonged to monoclinic space group P21 (unit‐cell parameters a = 84.9, b = 70.9, c = 87.6 Å, β = 90.3°).
