Dear Hena,

The BMCD might be a resource worth investigating:

http://xpdb.nist.gov:8060/BMCD4/index.faces

Although there are claims that structurally similar proteins may crystallise 
under similar conditions (the existence of directed screens  -such as the Jena 
Biosciences 'Kinase' screen, you have to wonder (as Enrico points out) how 
these can work, as the bits that change the most in any protein family are the 
outside bits (ie, away from the active site) and thus are generally the parts 
going to affect crystallisation the most.

Subject: [ccp4bb] database of crystallization condition

Hi,
Can anyone tell, if there is any database containing the crystallization 
conditions of published structures? I want to see the conditions people have 
used for those proteins having some structural similarity. Any suggestion would 
be appreciated.
Regards...
Hena
