Dear all, Thank you all very much for your kind suggestions. Now we have some preliminary data of SPR. But we might try other new ideas suggested here.

Dear Min, You can use microscale thermophoresis for this kind of tricky cases when you have limited amount of protein and ligands. There is enough literature on this topic. have a look in the following reference: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2006 Dec 26;103(52):19678-82 Hope this helps.

Any suggestion on any of them will be greatly appreciated. First, we have two proteins that bind each other without a doubt. But since we have very limited amount of proteins and it takes a long time to reproduce them, we are very hesitating to try ITC and AUC to find out the stoichiometry of these complex. So I am wondering if there is any other way we can try to find the ratio without consuming much proteins? Second, we are thinking about getting a new incubator for crystallization. Could anyone here recommend a model or a brand? Thank you, Min
