Hi Bernhard,
It is difficult guess with two dimensional images. Is it possible a metal
coordinated by Cys-Sulfur and one or two acetate ions?

Dear all,

The planarity and symmetry rules out a mixed disulfide with DTT. Wrong
size/shape for glycerol. Without looking at your crystallization reagents,
I would have suggested something like an S-hydroxycysteine adduct of
something like 2,4-pentanedione or a dehydrated MPD alkene. Could
pentanedione be a
