Structure of full-length class I chitinase from rice revealed by X-ray crystallography and small-angle X-ray scattering.
TL;DR: The crystal structure of full‐length OsChia1b is determined at 2.00‐Å resolution, but there are two possibilities for a biological molecule with and without interdomain contacts, and an extended structure of Os chitinase in solution compared to that in the crystal form could be caused by the conformational flexibility of the linker.
