Along the lines of mass spec analysis, but probably more accessible to many, is gel electrophoresis. Rinsing enough crystals and dissolving them in your protein buffer should give you a sample suitable for standard agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis protocols. I showed that crystals I h
