Hi crytallographers ! I am attempting to use the Low Ionic Strength Screen™ from Hampton Research. I realised that the kit recommended a 4ul Sample to 7ul screen drop. Has anyone reduced this amount for hanging drop? for example 1ul sample to 1ul screen ? or 1ul sample to 1.75ul screen? Any hel

I recently used an ensemble of many proteins with Phaser. A single model did not find a solution but this ensemble of seven very similar molecules gave a correct solution with a TFZ of ~9.0. I did not trim the side chains in this ensemble (first try worked) but this introduced variation may be b
