I agree to this last suggestion. For one of my protein, I had to add at least 10 % of glycerol in my buffers to keep my protein stable while purifying. For crystallization, I diluted it to 20 % glycerol (vapour diffusion method) which allowed it to be stable in the crystallization drop and eventu

Dear all I welcome all the suggestions regarding my crystals which is coming with the precipitation.The pI of the protein is 4.2 and the drop precipitates with MPD as low as 30% within 4-5 hrs.I am trying the pH ranging from 3.6-5.2 at 16C.There is no precipitation at 20% of MPD.Also,at high conc,t

If the crystals are large enough even if there is ppt present I would still try and collect data on them
