Recombinant transaldolase from Escherichia coli, an enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway has been crystallized by the vapor-diffusion method using polyethylene glycol 6000 as precipitant. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group P212121 with cell dimensions a = 68.9, b = 91.3 and c = 130.5 Å and diffract to 2 Å resolution on a conventional X-ray source. The asymmetric unit very likely contains two subunits, corresponding to a packing density of 2.9 Å3 Da-1.
