Crystals of truncated (A425-461) pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent mouse ornithine decarboxylase (mOrnDC') have been obtained that diffract to 2.2 resolution (P2,2,2, a = 119.5 A, b = 74.3 A, c = 46.1 A). OrnDC produces putrescine, which is the precursor for the synthesis of polyamines in eukar

## Ornithine decarboxylase as a marker for colorectal adenomas Sir I was interested to read the paper by Moorehead and colleagues (Br J Surg 1987; 74: 3645). In their discussion the authors state that the finding of diminished levels of ornithine decarboxylase in macroscopically normal rectal muco
## BACKGROUND. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is a key rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis. Several studies using an enzyme assay revealed that the ODC activity was higher in tumor tissue than in normal tissue. However, there is little information on the mRNA status of ODC in surgical sp
Trypanosoma brucei ornithine decarboxylase, expressed and purified from E. coli, has been crystallized b y the vapor diffusion method using P E G 3350 as a precipitant. The crystals belong to the monoclinic space group P2, and have cell constants of a = 66.3 A, b = 151.8 A, c = 83.7 A, and p = 101.2
