The crystals obtained from various batches of crystallization trials of FabZ from Plasmodium falciparum exhibited non-isomorphism. The c axis of the I222 cell showed a large variation of about 16 A, from c = 81 A to c = 97 A. Complete data sets were collected for three crystal forms with varying lengths of the c axis (form 1, c = 97 A; form 2, c = 92 A; form 3, c = 81 A).

PfFabZ has been found to exist as a homodimer (d-PfFabZ) in the crystals of the present study in contrast to the reported hexameric form (h-PfFabZ) which is a trimer of dimers crystallized in a different condition.
