Hi, I'm sure there are proteins that were crystallized at low pH but I can't remember which. The best thing is to go to the BMCD database: http://xpdb.nist.gov:8060/BMCD4/index.faces and query it with the key pH (look into advanced search).

I want to crystallize it in the low PH and compare the differences between the crystals in regular PH and low PH. I was wondering how people set up the boxes in low PH, as usual buffers are mostly less acidic. Regards Sam
