Dear crystallographers, Because of the low cost and speed of synthesizing 40- to 60-mer peptides, I wonder whether anyone has (good or bad) experiences crystalizing such peptides. In literature, I've found up to 34-mer synthetic coiled coils, but no other protein class. I can imagine that a protein sample with a few percent "random deletion mutants" mixed into it won't crystallize easily, but has anyone actually tried?
cheers, Hans
