Yes, there's a long-ish history of using arginine as crystallization additive. See for examples: Charlie Carter's Chapter 4 (pages 75-120) in "Crystallization of Nucleic Acids and Proteins", second edition, Ducruix, Giege, editors. DeLucas, et al J.Struct. Biol. (2003) 142, 188-206. There are likely others. -Dan Anderson On Tue, 24 Jan 2006, Stein, ND (Norman) wrote: > *** For details on how to be removed from this list visit the *** > *** CCP4 home page http://www.ccp4.ac.uk *** > > > Hi all, > > I was wondering if anyone's had any experience using arginine as a > crystallization additive, and generally as a useful chemical to prevent > aggregation of globular, but sticky proteins.
