I had success once by varying the drop volume ratios as described here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2203341/ although we ended up getting data from a different crystal form. ~1 M LiSO4 is a surprising condition for cocrystallizing protein and DNA if they aren't covalently or topol

Dear Joseph, You have probably already done so, but have you tried in- or decreasing your protein+DNA concentration? I had a similar problem with proteins that were concentrated too low. I had to increase protein and decrease Ammonium sulfate (precipitant in my case) concentration. Cheers, Johann

Dear all: I would like to seek your suggestion on protein crystallization from phase separation. We recently observed many small round droplets shown in our protein/DNA crystallization. Condition are 0.8M-1.6M LiSO4; 20mM MgCl2; pH 5-8; protein conc. ~15mg/ml). The UV microscope confirms those ar
