Dear Sudipta, Use Phenix eLBOW. Give the input SMILES string and get the pdb and cif restraint files as output. Also you can use http://cactus.nci.nih.gov/translate/ to first get the pdb coordinate file from the SMILES string and then run Phenix eLBOW to get the cif restraints. Best regards,

There are 2 issues raised here and the answers are: 1) It is absolutely normal that the same protein crystallizes in two or more space groups. It may even happen under the same crystallization conditions, due to the randomness of nucleation. It happens more often when crystallization conditions ar

Two additional suggestions: 1. Photosynthetic Reaction Center from *R. sphaeroides* might be up your alley. Similar to bacteriorhodopsin, no need for a GFP tag on this one as it's colored. See the following publications: Wallace et al. "Monoolein Lipid phases as incorporation and inrichment mat

The multidrug efflux transporter AcrB could be suitable including crystallization (both recombinant with His-tag and endogenous). Extracts, solubilizes, purifies and crystallizes in DDM, so it is fairly inexpensive to repeat in bulk compared to other detergents. Assays might be a bit complicated
