    | • | We have purified
    and crystallized four proteins that are 
 |  | 
   
    |  | not stable in an
    oxygen environment 
 |  | 
   
    | • | The structure of
    one of these proteins (rubrerythrin) has 
 |  | 
   
    |  | been solved using
    anaerobic techniques as of this 
 |  | 
   
    |  | moment. 
 |  | 
   
    |  | – | This protein was
    previously solved with zinc being coordinated in 
 | 
   
    |  | an aerobic
    environment 
 |  | 
   
    |  | – | The native
    protein contains iron but is unstable in oxygen 
 |  | 
   
    |  | – | We now have the
    native iron form of this oxygen labile protein 
 |  | 
   
    |  | through using
    this system
