Fructosyl peptide oxidase (FPOX) catalyses the oxidation of α‐glycated dipeptides such as Nα‐(1‐deoxy‐D‐fructos‐1‐yl)‐L‐valyl‐L‐histidine (Fru‐ValHis) and is used in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Here, two thermostable mutants of FPOX, CFP‐T7 and EFP‐T5M, were crystallized by the sitting‐drop vapour‐diffusion method. The crystal of CFP‐T7 belonged to the tetragonal space group P41212, with unit‐cell parameters a = b = 110.09, c = 220.48 Å, and that of EFP‐T5M belonged to the monoclinic space group P21, with unit‐cell parameters a = 43.00, b = 230.05, c = 47.27 Å, β = 116.99°. The crystals of CFP‐T7 and EFP‐T5M diffracted to 1.8 and 1.6 Å resolution, respectively.
