The enzyme dihydrodipicolinate synthase catalyzes the committed step in the synthetic pathway for- the intermediate diaminopimelate and the essential amino acid lysine in bacteria and plants. Here, the crystallization and X-ray diffraction analysis of dihydrodipicolinate synthase from the human pathogenic bacterium B. henselae, the causative bacterium of cat-scratch disease, are presented.

The hydrogenase unit of the Hyd-2-type [NiFe]-hydrogenase from Citrobacter sp. S-77 was purified using an improved procedure and was then crystallized. Diffraction data sets from crystals of the samples with and without trypsin treatment were collected at resolutions of 1.60 and 2.00 Å, respectively.
