The crystal structure of the N-terminal anticodon-binding domain of the nondiscriminating aspartyl-tRNA synthetase from the human pathogen H. pylori was determined at a resolution of 2.0 Å. Two important turns (78GAGL81 and 83NPKL86), along with the conserved Pro84, are proposed to play a crucial role in the recognition of tRNAAsp and tRNAAsn.

Polysaccharide monooxygenase 2 from N. crassa was expressed from a glycoengineered strain of P. pastoris. Crystals of the protein bearing modified N-linked glycans showed improved X-ray diffraction at 100 K (1.20 Å resolution) and permitted room-temperature neutron diffraction data collection to 2.12 Å resolution.

D-glycero-β-D-manno-Heptose-1-phosphate adenylyltransferase (HldC) from B. pseudomallei has been cloned, expressed, purified and crystallized. Synchrotron X-ray data from a selenomethionine-substituted HldC crystal were collected to 2.8 Å resolution.

The crystal structure of the 15-residue peptaibol bergofungin A resembles that of the closely related samarosporin I. The differences in these structures, as well as the significant variation in their respective antibiotic functions, are presented.
