Dear Yu,

If the crystals are grown from salt then put the drop over water for a few 
hours and dissolve them, then put it back over the reservoir solution and 
recrystallize.
Sometimes you can get better crystals this way.
You could also try melting them with temperature and recrystallizing

Best

Subject: [ccp4bb] protein quasicrystals?

Hi,

I have been trying to crystallize a protein complex and keep getting sphere 
shape crystals. The diffraction is around 3 angstrom, but looks like multiple 
lattices. I am wondering if it could be a quasi crystal? Is there anyone has 
such experience?

Thanks,
Yu
