HML, a lectin from the red marine alga Hypnea musciformis , defines a novel lectin family. Orthorhombic crystals of HML belonging to space group P 2 1 2 1 2 1 grew within three weeks at 293 K using the hanging‐drop vapour‐diffusion method. A complete data set was collected at 2.4 Å resolution. HML is the first marine alga lectin to be crystallized.
