Notes:
We have obtained two additional crystal forms of the metal-dependent class II fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase from Escherichia coli. Crystals in the shape of elongated plates have unit-cell dimensions a = 73.4, b = 120.0, c = 190.1 Å, orthorhombic space group P212121. Monoclinic prisms have unit-cell dimensions a = 67.7, b = 104.3, c = 52.8 Å, β = 105°, space group P21. Diffraction to slightly better than 3.0 Å, has been observed for both forms using in-house and synchrotron facilities. These crystal forms may aid the structure solution of this enzyme by presenting additional forms for heavy-atom derivatization. These forms have multiple copies of the enzyme in the asymmetric unit and averaging methods might also be useful in the analysis.
