Crystal structure of BGLPf-M6ΔC in space group P1. The packing of molecules in the asymmetric unit resembles duplicated hexameric rings (a), (b) in which a noncrystallographic sixfold axis is embedded. 12 subunits (A, red; B, pale red; C, bright orange; D, pale yellow; E, green; F, pale green; G, cyan; H, pale cyan; I, blue; J, light blue; K, magenta; L, violet) are shown as space-filling models in the asymmetric unit. (a) was rotated 90° around the vertical axis to generate (b). (c) shows the molecules on the xy plane of the orthogonal coordinates. One set of the 12 subunits is shown as space-filling models in the asymmetric unit. The other molecules related by crystallographic symmetry are shown as chain-trace models. A unit cell and its three lattice vectors are shown by black solid lines and dark blue arrows, respectively. The arrangement shows the reason why the space group is P1. The local noncrystallographic sixfold axis is not parallel to the translation vector a.
