Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] spherulites and PEG3350 Something to consider is the quality of the PEG 3350. We have found that different qualities of PEG 3350 can give different results, depending on the type and amount of contaminants. What used to be the Fluka PEG 3350 is now the pharm grade of PEG 3350

You should check these "spherulites" on SDS-PAGE gel to make sure that these contain your protein. Then you can start thinking about optimization. On Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 2:05 PM, Jan van Agthoven wrote: > Dear all, > > I recently obtained some spherulites while trying to crystallize my > protei

Dear Jan I would recommend running the following protocol on your spherulites. Just pretend that they are crystals :) This was posted some time ago on the ccp4bb. best regards Savvas > On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 9:15 AM, Kenneth Verstraete < > kenneth.verstra...@ugent.be> wrote: > > > Hi Ivan, > > >

Dear all, I recently obtained some spherulites while trying to crystallize my protein. The spherulites are manually reproducible, but changing pH, protein concentration, and salt concentration does not result in crystal formation. Microseeding with crushed spherulites isn't a solution either as it
