Does that CA have a metal center (I think they all do)? If so, doesn't the citrate compete for the metal? JPK On Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 2:25 PM, Roger Rowlett rrowl...@colgate.edu wrote: Human carbonic anhdyrase II can be easily crystallized from 1.3 M sodium citrate/0.1 M TrisCl pH 8.5 at 10

So, I know I say this every time I post on this board, but here it goes again. I'm at an undergrad only school, and every 2 years I teach a class in protein crystallography. This year I'm being super ambitious, and I'm going to take a class of 16 to the synchrotron for data collection.

Hi David, You could try the Glucose Isomerase supplied by Hampton. It crystallizes under a number of conditions, details of which you can find in their manual. http://hamptonresearch.com/product_detail.aspx?cid=28sid=56pid=56 Ganesh Le 04/02/13 17:03, David Roberts a écrit : So, I know I

My suggestions would be to look up citations for thaumatin and glucose isomerase. If I remember correctly, both of them form well diffracting crystals within a short period of time. I think you can also buy the purified protein from a vendor. Perhaps you could also try the good old lysozyme.

I second that. Gently swirling the bottle (very important) before pipetting a few microliters (say 100 microliters or whatever). Dialyse overnight vs 10 mM HEPES 2 mM MgCl2 ph7, then get the protein concentration to 10 mg/ml. Set up the drops (sitting drops) versus the same buffer with 30%

Human carbonic anhdyrase II can be easily crystallized from 1.3 M sodium citrate/0.1 M TrisCl pH 8.5 at 10 mg/mL protein concentration. Crystals are P21 and easily diffract to beyond 2.0 A on a home source. We cryopreserve in ML + 30% glucose. Sulfonamide ligands are easy to soak into the
