Hi,

If the interaction between partners is of a hydrophobic nature and involves leucines, it may be MPD destroys the interaction.

Have a look at the following publication:

Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr. <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12351894#>2002 Oct;58(Pt 10 Pt 1):1722-8. Epub 2002 Sep 26.


 An overview on 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol in crystallization and in
 crystals of biological macromolecules.

Anand K <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Anand%20K%5BAuthor%5D&cauthor=true&cauthor_uid=12351894>^1 ,Pal D <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Pal%20D%5BAuthor%5D&cauthor=true&cauthor_uid=12351894>,Hilgenfeld R <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Hilgenfeld%20R%5BAuthor%5D&cauthor=true&cauthor_uid=12351894>.

You will have to try and find a substitue for it.....

Good luck,

Jeroen
