Sumario:	The article offers information on a research conducted in order to determine the X-ray structure of native scorpion toxin BmBKTx1 using racemic protein crystallization. In BmBKTx1, racemic crystallization was used for the facile production of diffraction quality crystals. Racemic crystallography is stated to be a viable approach for obtaining structures of recalcitrant proteins.
