Dear all, 

I am trying to crystallize a protein kinase without any success. 

I suspect about its characteristic catalytic loop. I have already prepared 
different constructs, different expression vectors, and different mutant 
proteins (pseudo-phosphorylated, active, inactive?). I have also tested some 
ligands as ANPpnp (non hidrolizable nucleotide), ADP (product) and manganese 
(cofactor). 

I am thinking in trying to cocrystallize it with a general kinase substrate (a 
peptide, a small molecule...). Does any one have any experience or suggestion? 

Thanks in advance. 

Sincerely, Antonio
