From: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK] On Behalf Of Jacob Keller Sent: 08 February 2013 14:57 To: ccp4bb Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] protein crystals or salt crystals I'd have to disagree on that. Protein crystals are fragile but not soft. If your crystals are like gelatine it's unusual. It has been demonstrated that elastic properties of protein crystals are similar to "organic solids" Interesting--do you have a reference quickly on hand for those measurements? I have always been somewhat curious about that.... JPK Cheers, Ed. -- "I'd jump in myself, if I weren't so good at whistling."
