Uridine diphosphogalactose‐4‐epimerase from E. coli has been crystallized in a form suitable for a high‐resolution X‐ray crystallographic structural analysis. The enzyme complexed with a substrate analogue, uridine diphosphobenzene (UDP‐benzene), crystallizes readily using polyethylene glycol 8000 as the precipitant. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P 2 1 2 1 2 1 with unit cell dimensions, a = 76.3 Å, b = 83.1 Å, and c = 132.1 Å. Based on still setting photographs, the crystals diffract to a nominal resolution of 2.3 Å and are stable in the X‐ray beam. The enzyme used in these experiments was produced by a new expression system and a modified purification scheme.
