Alanine dehydrogenase (L‐AlaDH) from Bacillus megaterium WSH‐002 catalyses the NAD + ‐dependent interconversion of L‐alanine and pyruvate. The enzyme was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells and purified with a His 6 tag by Ni 2+ ‐chelating affinity chromatography for X‐ray crystallographic analysis. Crystals were grown in a solution consisting of 0.1  M HEPES pH 8.0, 12%( w / v ) polyethylene glycol 8000, 8%( v / v ) ethylene glycol at a concentration of 15 mg ml −1 purified protein. The crystal diffracted to 2.35 Å resolution and belonged to the trigonal space group R 32, with unit‐cell parameters a  =  b  = 125.918, c = 144.698 Å.
