Crystallization scheme for BGLPf-M3 as inferred from its crystal packing. The BGLPf-M3 molecules form at least two distinct dimeric structures (PQ and RS) which they fluctuate between. BGLPf-M3 can also form two distinct transient pseudo-tetramers (PP′QQ′ and RR′SS′). These pseudo-tetramers are preferentially trapped and crystallize under our crystallization conditions while the dimers and tetramers are in equilibrium. |
