Re: [ccp4bb] Crystallisation below 0°C

If your precipitant is high concentration salt, there will be a significant freezing point depression (see e.g. wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing-point_depression ). I seem to remember collecting data from crystals we cooled to -15 C in the early '80s. The crystals were grown

When I started my PhD (in 1980!) at Imperial, David Blow already had a PhD student who's project was to use the new Daresbury synchrotron to exploit anomalous differences. Unfortunately it didn't come on line in time for him to actually get the data he needed. I'd be intrigued to know who got the

Re: [ccp4bb] Etiquette on publishing if there is a crystallization report from someone else.

Its not always the case that the project has been abandoned or died, some labs will push crystallisation notes to give a student paper-writing experience, and could have invested a significant effort since in the project. They could be waiting for e.g. the complex that makes it interesting. Or the

I don't want to confuse things further, but as a PS to Ian's answer that clearly tells you how to get Z.. You should be aware that a crystal might also have non-crystallographic symmetry. Ian's answer is right for Z, but as you also mentioned monomers I thought I should mention that if the
