Hi Katja, Sodium sulphate forms a solution of neutral pH in water. 200 mM of Na2SO4 will buffer the crystallization solution at pH 7, in addition to acting as a salt. You could try varying the concentration of PEG and Sod.sulphate now to see if the crystals get better. Sometimes using potassiu

Hi everybody, sorry for my off-topic question. I got small initial crystals in 200mM NaSulfat and 20% PEG 3350. There is no buffer in this condition. How can I optimize these crystals? Just vary the PEG concentration?  Or should I add a buffer; or vary the pH of the buffer the proteinsolution w
