Dear  ,

If you want to get useful advice you have to give a bit more information. What 
did you try?
Also, please do not attach large images to your message.

Thanks and good luck,

Subject: [ccp4bb] Problem in optimization

Dear all
I have tried a variety of methods on regular optimization of the crystal ,but  
all have failed,the 17 kDa protein crystal still have many nucleation and poor 
diffraction also poor resolution(the best 3.5-4.0Å)
The crystallization conditions are:
0.1 M Tris pH-6.5,
0.2 M Sodium acetate
1.8 M Ammonium sulphate

Could some one suggest me how to trouble shoot this problem?

Best wishes,
