Hi Herman, I will add a few points to all the excellent advice already provided to you. If you decide to try this option of crystallizing a fusion protein of your target, I would consider using N-terminal but also C-terminal fusions. We have had success using MBP in N-ter and the superfolder GFP in C-terminal for a few 'vexing' proteins from *Plasmodium falciparum. *It helped us either to obtain crystals/structures (as you seek) but also provided a way to circumvent a tendency for twinning from our target in some specific cases. GFP has the added benefit that your fusion crystals should be bright yellow so that speeds up the screening process a bit.
I hope this helps.
