Dear Art,

It seems twisted, indeed.

First of all you need to verify that your protein is at all in a good
state (you seem to imply that it is not with your remark on protein
concentration). Basic biophyscial characterisation for stability and
structural homogeniety is required to reach proper buffer conditions for
your protein, and you may consider a  complex with relevant ligands
