Hi,
hard evidence I could not find. I once cited "An approach to
crystallizing proteins by synthetic symmetrization" for a publication on
a rescue strategy in crystallization.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1637565/
They reference to a Phd thesis from 2003.
And one idea why it should work is related to "Why protein crystals
favour some space-groups over others"

Br, Georg.

Hello all
Two decades ago, I remember (!) much talk about a reason that
bacterial proteins crystallize "more easily" is that they tend to come
as oligomers (dimers and up), and that this internal symmetry made
them happier to crystallize.
Did anybody ever publish hard evidence? Or even, is there a primary
citation for the idea?
Thanks
Frank
