This has been elaborated before, but you can safely assume they are NOT detergent crystals. DDM may be harder to crystallize than your average membrane protein....I hope those crystals diffract!

The protein is a membrane protein and contains 0.05% DDM. Has anybody seen DDM crysals and if yes, how do they look like? thanks in advance Parveen Goyal
