TL;DR: In this paper, the authors solved apo and I(-)-bound crystal structures of YFP-H148Q to 2.1 A resolution, showing that the halide-binding site is found near van der Waals contact with the chromophore imidazolinone oxygen atom, in a small buried cavity adjacent to Arg96, which provides electrostatic stabilization.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the "kindling fluorescent protein" asFP595-A143G (KFP) in the dark-adapted state at 1.38 A resolution and 100 K is determined and the energy barrier for thermal relaxation was found to be somewhat higher than the value of approximately 55 kJ/mol observed for cis-trans isomerization of a model chromophore in solution.

TL;DR: The three-dimensional structure of the lysozyme from bacteriophage T4 has been determined from a 2.4 A resolution electron density map and the approximate conformation of the molecule unambiguously is revealed.

TL;DR: A comparison of the active site features of the three families of serine proteinases suggests that the "catalytic triad" should actually be regarded as two diads, a His-Asp diad and a his-Ser diad, and that the relative orientation of one diad with respect to the other is not particularly important.

TL;DR: Comparisons of goose-type, chicken- type, and phage-type lysozymes are made to suggest that all three classes of lysozyme diverged from a common evolutionary precursor, even though their amino acid sequences appear to be unrelated.
