The cationic isozyme of peroxidase isolated from suspension cultures of peanut cells is a heme-containing and calcium-dependent glycoprotein having four covalently attached oligosaccharide chains. Attempts were made to crystallize the glycoprotein for X-ray diffraction analysis, and these have met with some success. Crystals have now been grown that are suitable for a full three-dimensional structural analysis. The crystals are thin plates and we have shown them to be of the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with a = 48.1, b = 97.2, c = 146.2 A. The crystals diffract to beyond 2.8 A resolution, appear to be stable to lengthy X-ray exposure, and contain two molecules of 40,000 daltons each in the asymmetric unit
