title: Water polymers in L-alanyl-L-methionine hemihydrate.
abstract: The side chains of L-alanyl-L-methionine hemihydrate, C(8)H(16)N(2)O(3)S.0.5H(2)O, form hydrophobic columns within a three-dimensional hydrogen-bond network that includes extended polymers of cocrystallized water molecules and C(alpha)-H.S interactions.
