The antimicrobial protein snakin‐1,… . … isolated from potatoes, displays a uniquely folded three‐dimensional structure held together by six disulfide bonds. In their Communication on page 7930 ff., M. A. Brimble, C. J. Squire, and co‐workers describe how they used a radiation‐damage‐induced phasing (RIP) method to solve the racemic crystal structure of the protein, exploiting specific X‐ray radiation induced breakage of an endogenous C−I bond.
