2014-04-11 Thread Herman . Schreuder
Dear William, The lowest resolution spots you can see tell you something about your cell dimensions since the resolution cannot be lower than the longest distance in your unit cell. If you see spots at 30Å resolution, you are pretty sure you have protein crystals, if you only see spots at

Dear William, When in doubt, I would usually harvest a few needle clusters (especially as it sounds like you got plenty now), wash them with crystallization reservoir and then run them on SDS-PAGE gel. If you see a band of the right molecular weight you have most probably crystallized your
