Hi Peter, You first want to reduce the protein concentration to avoid rapid precipitation upon adding crystallization solutions. Try concentrations of 5 - 10 mg/mL instead of 15 mg/mL. Next, consider changing the NaCl concentration. Salt can act as a co-precipitant, and lowering its concentrati

Dear All: Recent we expressed one protein using mammalian cells but this protein was highly glycosylated (30% of the total molecular weight). We want to remove some carbohydrate by enzymatic digestion for the convenience of crystallization. However, this protein tends to aggregat

The other possibility of course is that the data is good, that this is an accurate experimental result and there really is a void, or at least a cavity where the mean bulk density is lower than in bulk water. One way to test the void theory would be to fill the cavity with O atoms of zero (or very

Dear Ana-Maria, in my experience, mask bulk solvent artifacts can only occur at narrow channels, where the mask radius is too big to define the channel as belonging to the bulk solvent region, leaving it "empty" and thus resulting in positive (!) difference density. Changing from simple s
