Abstract

The structure of MosA, a dihydrodipicolinate synthase and reported methyltransferase from Sinorhizobium meliloti, has been solved using molecular replacement with Escherichia coli dihydrodipicolinate synthase as the model. A crystal grown in the presence of pyruvate diffracted X‐rays to 2.3 Å resolution using synchrotron radiation and belonged to the orthorhombic space group C2221, with unit‐cell parameters a = 69.14, b = 138.87, c = 124.13 Å.
