Hi folks, We have a protein that we have been trying to solve the structure of for a while now but so far haven't been able to get any diffraction better than ~4.5A. I was able to collect a full 360 degrees of data and index, but MR is failing so we have turned to de novo phasing.
Recently we prepared crystals of the Semet derivative under the same condition. While these crystals diffracted to about the same resolution, I found they were dying after just one or two snaps, even with increased beam attenuation and decreased exposure time. I am wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this before and had any suggestions on what to do about it.
