Progress in molecular biology has provided a new perspective. Techniques such as the polymerase chain reaction and single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis have greatly facilitated the molecular analysis of erythroenzymopathies. These studies have clarified the correlation between the functional and structural abnormalities of the variant enzymes. In general, the mutations that induce an alteration of substrate binding site and/or enzyme instability might result in markedly altered enzyme properties and severe clinical symptoms.

Fabian and Kalman [5] retrieved 50 structures from the Cambridge Structural Database, including the polymorphs of 22 compounds, in order to evaluate the frequency of isostructurality among polymorphs. It was found that one-, two-, or three-dimensional isostructurality was exhibited by approximately one-half of the compounds studied. Three-dimensional isostructurality was connected to the gradual ordering of crystal structures, while one- and two-dimensional isostructurality could be related to specific packing interactions. Interestingly, conformational polymorphs were not found to exhibit isostructurality.
