Abstract
Large crystals of porcine aldose reductase have been grown from polyethylene glycol solutions. The crystals are triclinic, space-group P1, with a = 81.3 A, b = 85.9 A, c = 56.6 A, alpha = 102.3 degrees, beta = 103.3 degrees and gamma = 79.0 degrees. The crystals grow within ten days to dimensions of 0.6 mm x 0.4 mm x 0.2 mm and diffract to at least 2.5 A. There are four molecules in the unit cell related by a set of three mutually perpendicular non-crystallographic 2-fold axes.
