hello Bert u can also add 50mM to 100 mM Argine and glutamate either alone or combined together..it really works fine..although it will increase the protein stability many fold but i dont know whether it will impede crystallization or not.. others comments are welcome.. Faisal SLS, JNU New Delhi

Hi Tom: Glycerol is fine in crystallization trials. As you say it may increase your solubility, in your case that appears to be a good thing, for other proteins, it makes them too soluble and then one may have to increase the concentration to something more than the typical values. Glycero

Hi Tom, Adding glycerol to (crystallization) buffers is a very common practice when working with membrane proteins. Many membrane proteins have been crystallized (perhaps even the majority) with glycerol, even up to 30% v/v. So, at least for membrane proteins, there is no problem. Bert On 3/

Hi guys: I know this has been asked before, but I want to get (current) opinions and observations once again. Every once in a while, you work with a protein that needs to have a little something added to the buffer to keep it soluble. The most common trick is addition of glycerol (usually 5-10%)
