title: Preliminary crystallographic study of the Erythrina rubrinervia lectin.
abstract: The galactose-specific lectin from Erythrina rubrinervia crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P6, (or P6(5)) with unit cell dimensions a = b = d = 135.1 A, c = 83.0 A. These parameters are compatible with the presence of a dimer with Mr = 60,000 in the asymmetric unit. The crystals are suitable for high-resolution X-ray analysis.
