SpaO(145-213) + SpaO (232-297) + OrgB(1-30)::T4 lysozyme was concentrated to 18.5mg/mL and crystallized with 25% PEG3350, 200mM ammonium formate, 100mM sodium acetate pH=5.0. Microseeding was employed to enhance crystal uniformity and diffraction. Briefly, crystals to be seeded were harvested in precipitant solution and vortexed in a microfuge tube with a small stir bar for ~60 seconds. The slurry of microseeds was serially dilluted (5-10-fold steps) in precipitant solution and 5 selected microseed-precipitant mixtures were mixed with fresh protein as in a normal hanging drop experiment. Crystals were cryoprotected in 30% PEG3350, 10% glycerol, 200mM ammonium acetate, 100mM sodium acetate pH=5.0. |
