Melittin is the principal protein component of bee venom and is thought to function as a lytic agent. Despite its predominantly hydrophobic character, melittin is soluble as a tetramer in aqueous salt solutions. We report here on the determination of the crystal structure of tetrameric melittin at 2.8-A resolution by the method of multiple isomorphous replacement, followed by partial atomic refinement at 2.0-A resolution....
