In the title compound, C8H9N4S(+)·Cl(-)·H2O, the cation is approximately planar, with a dihedral angle of 7.71 (8)° between the mean planes of the benzo-imidazole ring system and the thio-urea unit. In the crystal, cations, anions and water molecules of crystallization are linked by O-H⋯Cl, N-H⋯O, N-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. π-π stacking is observed between...

The gene coding for SecA from Enterococcus faecalis was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. In this protein, the lysine at position 6 was replaced by an asparagine in order to reduce sensitivity towards proteases. The modified protein was purified and crystallized. Crystals diffracting to 2.4 A resolution were obtained using the vapour-diffusion technique. The crystals belong to the m...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C8H9NO2·H2O consists of an isolated 4-(ammonio-meth-yl)benzoate zwitterion derived from 4-amino-methyl-benzoic acid through the migration of the acidic proton, together with a water molecule of crystallization that is disordered over three sites with occupancy ratios (0.50:0.35:0.15). In the crystal structure, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds together with π-π sta...

The crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) from laminarinase Lic16A of the hyperthermophilic anaerobic bacterium Clostridium thermocellum (ctCBM54) are reported. Recombinant ctCBM54 was prepared using an Escherichia coli/pQE30 overexpression system and was crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. X-ray diffraction dat...

In the title complex, [Cu(C(2)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](C(13)H(9)O(2))(2)·2.66H(2)O, the Cu(II) centre (located at an inversion centre) is coordinated by two bidentate ethyl-enediamine (en) ligands and two water O atoms in a typical Jahn-Teller distorted octahedral geometry. The amino groups and the water mol-ecules are disordered over two distinct crystallographic positions with occupancies of 1...

Observations of crystallization experiments are classified as specific outcomes and integrated through a phase diagram to visualize solubility and thereby direct subsequent experiments. Specific examples are taken from our high-throughput crystallization laboratory which provided a broad scope of data from 20 million crystallization experiments on 12,500 different biological macromolecules. The...

This study addresses the effect of impurities on the crystallization of Na2CO3 produced within a strategy for capturing CO2 from flue gases by alkaline absorption. A novel technology membrane assisted crystallization is proposed for Na2CO3 crystallization from mother liquors containing impurities. High purity of Na2CO3•10H2O crystals was obtained without impacting the performance of the mass tr...

The title compound, [Co(3)Na(2)(C(7)H(2)ClNO(4))(4)(H(2)O)(12)][Co(C(7)H(2)ClNO(4))(H(2)O)(3)](2)·6H(2)O, consists of a centrosymmetric dimer of [Co(II)(dipicCl)(2)](2-) complex dianions [dipicCl is 4-chloro-pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ate] bridged by an [Na(2)Co(II)(H(2)O)(12)](4+) tetra-cationic cluster, two independent [Co(dipicCl)(H(2)O)(3)] complexes, and six water mol-ecules of crystallizatio...

In the title compound, {(C(10)H(11)N(3))[Zn(3)(C(8)H(4)O(4))(4)]·2H(2)O}(n), divalent Zn atoms are linked into trinuclear units featuring tetra-hedral, octa-hedral and distorted tetrahedral, octahedral and square-pyramidal coordination geometries. These trinuclear units are connected by isopthalate dianions into [Zn(3)(isophthalate)(4)](n) (2n-) anionic layers, which aggregate into the three-di...
