Lobster enolase crystallized by serendipity.
An unknown protein crystallized from a lobster muscle preparation in which arginine kinase was the majority component. It was identified as enolase by peptide sequencing and activity testing, and a SIRAS electron density map showed its three-dimensional structure to be very similar to that of yeast enolase.
