title: Properties of a new crystal form of the complex of concanavalin A with methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside.
abstract: The complex of concanavalin A with methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside crystallizes as regular rhombic dodecahedra containing 35% protein by weight. The crystal is of space group I23 with a = 167.8 A (1 A = 0.1 nm) and contains one concanavalin A dimer per asymmetric unit. It diffracts to a resolution of 1.9 A and is suitable for crystallographic investigation of the structure of the saccharide-binding site.
