Summary Continuing a line of investigations on methods for formation and growth of high-quality crystals of peptides, the glycylglycine sequence has been crystallized by evaporation methods as a salt with 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonic acid. The structure of the peptide is highly extended, and is conformationally quite similar to the structures which have been characterized for other zwitterionic and salt forms of this sequence. Thus, crystallization as a salt with this sulfonic acid has imposed no undue influence upon the molecular conformation. These results offer further indication that the preparation of peptide sulfonate salts, particularly with arene templates, may have broad general utility for crystallization of interesting sequences which until now have not been approachable in their zwitterionic forms.
