Hi,

Does anyone have a foolproof recipe for preparing one or more heavy atom derivatives for a nice, easily crystallized protein like lysozyme? I'm looking for something that I can use as a hands-on MIR/ SIR tutorial for beginning students. I'd rather the students be able to focus their attention on data collection and analysis, rather than spending a lot of time screening different soaks.

I have looked at Peter Sun's paper on quick soaking (Acta Cryst D58: 1092-1098, 2002), and will definitely try what they did; but any other recipes would also be welcome.

Thanks,

Pat
