The three-dimensional structure of ovine 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, refined at 2.5 A resolution with a residual for all data of 18.5%, is reported. This model, based on improved diffraction data and a corrected sequence, supersedes that reported earlier. Each subunit of the dimer has three domains: a beta-alpha-beta domain binds NADP; an all alpha domain provides much of the dimer interface; the C-terminal tail burrows into the second subunit.
