In this study, the variable domain of the collagen-like protein Scl2 from invasive M3-type S. pyogenes has successfully been crystallized. Single-wavelength anomalous dispersion experiments have been carried out to obtain experimental phases by preparing crystal derivatives with lanthanides. Model building and refinement, which are in progress, will provide the first structural clues for Scls.
