Dear ALL: Sorry for this kind of off-topic question.
I am going to co-crystallize one protein with cholesterol. I read some papers saying that their protein can be pre-incubated with 1mM cholesterol in the presence of 5% (v/v) ethanol. TO do so, I first dissolved cholesterol in 100% ethanol at a concentration of 10mM. However, it is very difficult to make the dilution into 5% ethanol either just in water or some buffers. Does anyone have such experience to make cholesterol solution in normal buffers plus some ethanol? Thanks a lot, Jerry McCully _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea.
