Abstract
Deinococcus radiodurans possesses a complex cell envelope which is quite unique regarding both structure and composition (Thompson et al. 1982, Brooks et al. 1980). The structure determination of its S-layer (HPI-layer) is particularly advanced (Baumeister et al. 1986, Rachel et al. 1986). As part of our objective to obtain a high-resultion 3-D structure of the HPI-layer we have determined the primary structure of the HPI-layer polypeptide.
