Dear All, Thank you Folmer and Fred for your suggestions. Mine is an isomorphous crystal. I had refined without using the same set of Rfree reflections, finally getting larger difference between the R and Rfree. I hope considering the same Rfree set would solve this problem. Thank you With

Hi Tim, Our approach is a bit different. We first try to establish whether the R-free set is biased, by checking whether R-free is surprisingly low compared to R given the data parameter ratio. If this is the case (or if we chose a new R-free set for some reason, e.g. because it was too small)

Rather than looking at anti-DTT it is more important to set up an appropriate redox system. This can be a combination of reduced and oxidised glutathione or cysteine. If you check some of the commercial protein refolding screens this should give you an idea about relative concentrations. Best

In the literature, you can find examples of air oxidation, oxidized glutathione (alone), mixture of reduced and oxidized glutathione, and hydrogen peroxide. The correct concentrations have to be found empirically. We are just now mushing through this with an engineered disulfide variant. Air
