In addition to all the excellent suggestions to perform seeding, you could also try sitting drop vapor diffusion, and also different temperatures. Sometimes moving from 20 to 4 degrees does the trick. Diana ** Diana R. Tomchick Professor

Hi Nikolaus I completely agree with Claude's comments. Microseeding is the first thing to try. You would like to find conditions where you *don't *get crystals without seeding, but you *do *get crystals with seeding. Then, just by diluting the seed stock, you can control nucleation. Look at

Hi Nikolas The first thing I would try is to solubilise the protein a bit more, maybe by adding a few % (1-5%) glycerol or ethylene glycol to the growth conditions when you set up the drops. The next thing would be to experiment with ratio (protein:precipitant) and drop size. Lastly, trial

Dear crystalgrowers, I am currently working with a protein that appeared to be friendly but turned out it was not the case. I found myself to face -in the scale up- the opposite of the usual problem of nucleation (I really love how this topic finds new ways to make fun of me). In 24-well plates,

Hi all, I’m looking for a web applet (preferably javascript) that can be used to show anisotropic displacement parameters (thermal ellipsoids) for atoms. Does anyone know of one that supports this? I’ve looked through the usual suspects but none of them seem to go beyond cartoon/sticks/etc.

Hi Chitra Needles usually work very well for making seed stocks for random Microseed Matrix Screening (MMS). Your protein probably crystallizes well, but it is growing too fast in one direction. MMS has lots of advantages. If it's going to work it will almost certainly work within 12 hours.

Hi, If you reindexed crystal 1, the cell dimensions could be a=61.0, b=133.23, c=100.34, which would be correspond roughly to doubling the b-cell edge of crystal 2. Is there a sign of this in the data, i.e. in the current indexing of crystal form 1 is there a big peak around 0,0,1/2 in the
