title: Crystallization of Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom) lectin.
abstract: Crystals of Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom) lectin have been grown by the hanging-drop technique using ammonium sulfate as the precipitant at 293 K. Over a period of between two and three weeks, crystals of hexagonal bipyramidal morphology grew to maximum dimensions of 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.5 mm. The crystals belong to space group P6(1)22 or P6(5)22, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 155.9, c = 149. 8 A, V = 3153078 A(3), Z = 12 (assuming 50% solvent), and diffract to 4.1 A at 293 K.
