Mike, This is a complicated question :) The floppy bits can contribute to packing in several non-obvious ways. I may be able to help you get a better crystal form, if you're willing to share the specifics of the protein (which will be kept confidential of course). I've developed new procedures fo

Greetings, I've taken a protein (structure known) with some disordered termini and created a new truncated construct that lacks these disordered bits (approx. 5% by mass of the total protein). To my delight, the new construct crystallizes much more readily than the full-length one (more hits in
