Dear Atul, Whilst finding Se-Met conditions you could always just phase with mercury if you are lucky enough to have an accessible free Cys residue or try NaI or I3C soaks. Always worth trying if you have readily reproducible crystals…

And also suggest the other variables that i can try ? thanks With Regards -- Dilip Tiwari Graduate Student Structural Biology Unit Institute of Genomics & Integrative Biology Delhi-07 -- Dilip Tiwari Graduate Student Structural Biology Unit Institute of Genomics & Integrative Biology Delhi-07
