Dear Thomas,

Alternatively you can try shooting on crystals in the drop, in situ. So fishing, no cryo. But potentially high radiation damage. Can be considered if you have enough crystals, and if your crystallization plate makes it possible.

Dear crystallization experts,

We have 3D protein crystals grown from a microseed matrix screening vapor diffusion experiment in either

15% (v/v) Reagent alcohol

HEPES Na pH 7.5

0.2 M MgCl2

or in

27% Isopropanol

0.18 M MgCl2

90 mM HEPES Na pH 7.5

10% Glycerol

Upon opening the corresponding wells these crystals move quite a bit – presumably due to the volatility of the alcohols. Does anyone have a good suggestion to stabilize the swirling movements? Does anyone have experience, whether these conditions alone can serve as cryo-protectant (i.e., do we really have to fish, move into cryo solution and fish again)?

Any suggestion or input would be highly welcome.

Thank you very much in advance.

Thomas
