N2 - The X-ray crystal structure of a complex of galacturonic acid and tryptophan methyl ester shows a laminar packing arrangement in which hydrophobia bilayers of amino acid sandwich hexapyranose monolayers; the lattice allows 50:50 occupancy of α- and β-galactopyranose anomers and dimer pairs of galacturonic acid molecules are formed by means of a very strong hydrogen bond of 2.43 Å between the hemiprotonated carboxy groups.
