Would you please share your experience and comments on recovering protein crystals from dry (or almost dry hanging drops) for data collection.
I found some beautiful crystals in hanging drops that were set up three years ago; from the color of the crystals ( the protein binds a colored substrate) and the their shape I know these are crystals of my protein. I had collected data using some of these crystals when they were fresh; resolution was poor and the overall I/sigma was low. I am curious if the dehydration would improve the diffraction now.
