Dear Sreetama, First of all, there are no hard-and-fast "rules" for successful crystallisation, try changing as many different variables as possible and go with what works. Having said that, yes, next I would go for a grid optimisation varying the pH in 0.2 or 0.5 units over as wide a range

Dear all,    I have a 17 KDa protein that gives crystals in a condition that has 0.1M bis-tris pH 6.5. The crystals are thin needle clusters and do not diffract. I have tried additives, but they haven't improved the crystals. I intend to vary the pH of the condition.    My questi
