Dear Kavya, we encountered this issue for a protein complex at 95 mg/mL involving Human Serum Albumin (HSA) and a designed protein binder (Alphabody) as described in Pannecoucke et al. 2021 Sci Adv 7 (13), DOI:10.1126/sciadv.abe1682. The breakthrough in that case came from crystallization experiments at different temperatures (14C, 21C and 37C), with 37C coming out as the clear winner.

We have one such candidate, which does not precipitate even at 80mg/ml instead forms phase separated globules in crystallization plate, which eventually hardens over a period of 1 to 1.5 months (which is florescent under UV microscope.) We tried screening at different pH, but failed to get any hits. Since we got few conditions in which the phase separated globules solidified, we focused on them and expanded with 120mg/ml protein, still there were not visible precipitates except for the phase separation. This has been a challenging target so far. We have tried with different constructs, which unfortunately are not soluble! Does POMs help in such cases? Or do you have any other suggestion.
