The Sodium malonate offered by Hampton Research is Malonic acid (CAS Number 141-82-2) titrated to pH 4.0-8.0 using Sodium hydroxide as described in the publication "A comparison of salts for the crystallization of macromolecules. Alexander McPherson. Protein Science (2001), 10:418-422.". In this same publication, Sodium malonate was reported to be more successful than any other salt, resulting in the crystallization of 19 of the 23 macromolecules, almost twice as effective as the next most successful salt, which was a draw between sodium acetate, sodium tartrate, sodium formate, and ammonium sulfate. The high success rate of Sodium malonate in producing crystals was even more impressive when an overall unique success rate with individual macromolecules was considered.
The use of Sodium malonate in place of Ammonium sulfate has been reported in one instance to improve the reproducibility of crystals and improve resistance to physicochemical shocks. Sodium malonate also acted as a good cryoprotectant (Xing and Xu 2003).
One may combine the four different sodium malonate stocks to create a pH versus sodium malonate concentration grid for screening or optimization. Refer to the pH/Dilution Table for Sodium malonate.
Based on the structure of malonic acid titrated with sodium hydroxide, there are no chiral carbons so it is not characterized as having enantiomeric structures, such as D or L.
