Dear CCP4bb,
I am trying to solve the structure of a protein-protein complex. The two
proteins are co-expressed and co-purified and I get a homogeneous 1:3
complex, which is the predicted composition. I get several hits using
commercial crystallisation screens (including the MD ProPlex screen),
but all crystals only contain the trimeric, more stable protein of the two.
I am now considering to crosslink them, but my problem is that I cannot
modify them separately to get a specific crosslink, since one of the
proteins precipitates by itself.
I would appreciate all protocols for crosslinking of proteins aimed for
crystallisation, or references to structures solved of crosslinked
proteins.
Thank You,
Catrine
