The synthesis and X-ray structure of a novel glycoluril derivative are described. The crystal of the glycoluril derivative is obtained by slow evaporation in a refrigerator at about 5 °C. X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that the compound crystallized in an unusual as conformation instead of the usual clip-shaped aa conformation. Structural analysis shows that the solvation effect, hydrogen bonding, and space-occupying effect influenced the crystallization conformation of the derivative. The X-ray crystallographic analysis in this work provides additional crystallographic evidence of the as conformation of the 3U glycoluril derivative and shows the effect of solvent water on the conformational behavior.

NADPH:nitrocompound oxidoreductase from Escherichia coli, NfsA, has been crystallized in the presence of FMN by the vapor-diffusion method using polyethylene glycol 6000 as a precipitant. The crystals belonged to the triclinic space group P1 with cell dimensions, a = 52.2, b = 52.7, c = 53.3 Å, \alpha = 75.1, β = 60.1, \gamma = 60.5°. The crystals are expected to contain two NfsA molecules per asymmetric unit. The crystals diffracted X-rays to at least 2.3 Å resolution and are appropriate for structural analysis at high resolution.

Rab GTPases are key regulators of membrane trafficking in eukaryotes. Recent structural analysis of a number of Rabs, either alone or in complex with partner proteins, has provided new insight into the importance of both conserved and non-conserved features of these proteins that specify their unique functions and localizations. This review will highlight what we have learned from crystallographic analysis of this important protein family.

Crystallographic structural analysis is an essential method for the determination of protein structure. However, crystallization of a protein of interest is the most difficult process in the analysis. The process is often hampered during the sample preparation, including expression and purification. Even after a sample has been purified, not all candidate proteins crystallize. In this mini-review, the current methodologies used to overcome obstacles encountered during protein crystallization are sorted. Specifically, the strategy for an effective crystallization is compared with a pipeline where various expression hosts and constructs, purification and crystallization conditions, and crystallization chaperones as target-specific binder proteins are assessed by a precrystallization screening. These methodologies are also developed continuously to improve the process. The described methods are useful for sample preparation in crystallographic analysis and other structure determination techniques, such as cryo-electron microscopy.

Sterically crowded diimine ligands with five aryl rings were prepared in one step in good yields using a micro-flow technique. X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed the detailed structure of the bulky ligands. The nickel complexes prepared from the ligands exerted high polymerization activity in the ethylene homopolymerization and copolymerization of ethylene with polar monomers.
