A new crystal form of concanavalin A, a well studied lectin from the jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) is reported. These crystals, with the symmetry of orthorhombic space group C2221, grow as large roughly equi-dimensional blocks. Unit-cell parameters at 120 K are a = 118.67 (12), b = 101.36 (13), c = 111.94 (9) Å. On density considerations for two molecules per asymmetric unit, the water content is ∼60%. Data to a nominal resolution of 1.5 Å were collected.
