Dear Crystallographers, Does anyone have experience with co-crystallization of a protein with L-Dopa? In my hands, the L-Dopa degrades in water to a dark solution within 10 minutes. I am thinking of trying some reductants and metal chelation, but a verified successful formula would be much appreciated, and preferably it would be without going into a glove box.
