The membrane protein EsaA is a conserved component of the type VIIb secretion system. Limited proteolysis of purified EsaA from Staphylococcus aureus USA300 identified a stable 48 kDa fragment, which was mapped by fingerprint mass spectrometry to an uncharacterized extracellular segment of EsaA. Analysis by circular dichroism spectroscopy showed that this fragment folds into a single stable domain made of mostly α-helices with a melting point of 34.5°C. Size-exclusion chromatography combined with multi-angle light scattering indicated the formation of a dimer of the purified extracellular domain. Octahedral crystals were grown in 0.2 M ammonium citrate tribasic pH 7.0, 16% PEG 3350 using the hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method. Diffraction data were analyzed to 4.0 Å resolution, showing that the crystals belonged to the enantiomorphic tetragonal space groups P41212 or P43212, with unit-cell parameters a = 197.5, b = 197.5, c = 368.3 Å, α = β = γ = 90°.

The true identity of the protein found in the crystals reported by Bondoc et al. [(2019), Acta Cryst. F75, 646–651] is given.

The structural and nonlinear optical properties of a new anilinium hybrid crystal of chemical formula (C6H7NCl+·NO3−)3 have been investigated. The crystal structure was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements performed at a temperature of 100 K which show that the compound crystallizes in a noncentrosymmetric space group (Pna21). The structural analysis was coupled with Hirshfeld surface analysis to evaluate the contribution of the different intermolecular interactions to the formation of supramolecular assemblies in the solid state that exhibit nonlinear optical features. This analysis reveals that the studied compound is characterized by a three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds and the main contributions are provided by the O...H, C...H, H...H and Cl...H interactions, which alone represent ∼85% of the total contributions to the Hirshfeld surfaces. It is noteworthy that the halogen...H contributions are quite comparable with those of the H...H contacts. The nonlinear optical properties were investigated by nonlinear diffuse femtosecond-pulse reflectometry and the obtained results were compared with those of the reference material LiNbO3. The hybrid crystals exhibit notable second (SHG) and third (THG) harmonic generation which confirms its polarity is generated by the different intermolecular interactions. These measurements also highlight that the THG signal of the new anilinium compound normalized to its SHG counterpart is more pronounced than for LiNbO3.

A new study has clarified the concept of the popular phrase 'energy security'. It suggests that measurements of energy security for a country or area should be multi-dimensional and include figures that represent fuel prices, the diversity of the energy market and political stability.
