Hi All, I've rewitten the code for the Crystal Screen Wizard web server. The original aim of this home project was to analyze drop appearance patterns from initial screening in order to find "ideal" storage buffers for unstable proteins; however, I've modified it to include other useful features for things such as cataloging crystal optimization trays. The new server can do the following:
1) Using simple point-and-click options, produce extensively annotated graphics of your crystal trays (screens and optimizations) which can be cut and pasted into your lab book/computer file. 2) Handle 24 and 96 well plates. 3) Allow one to select multiple drop appearance types for each condition for analysis. 4) Analyze all possible drop appearance types for common agents simultaneously. 5) Using a crystal screen, analysis now gives the user a quick summary of what general salt and pH conditions the protein appears to like/dislike. I will include a simple salt crystal predictor and ionic strength estimator in the near future. Please feel free to e-mail me any comments, report bugs, or suggest improvements.
