Re: [ccp4bb] Micro/Macro crystal seeding experience

2020-12-17 Thread Whitley, Matthew J
I want to second the recommendation to try microseed matrix screening. I recently had a case of a protein that did not yield any crystals after trying more than 500 conditions. Of those 500, one single condition gave to me what appeared to be crystalline material, but not distinct single
