Hi Anna, Interesting assembly. What is the function of your protein? Is it known if your protein forms a fibril-like assembly in solution? Moreover, can your crystal packing be indexed higher symmetry space group? Cheers, Shiva On Mon, Jun 18, 2012 at 9:03 AM, David Schuller dj...@cornell.edu

That's a possibility. Do you know if the same coloration would arise if there is TCEP instead of DTT or b-ME? I usually have TCEP as the reducing agent. Thanks Fillip. Cheers, Shiva --- On Fri, 9/24/10, Filip Van Petegem filip.vanpete...@gmail.com wrote: From: Filip Van Petegem
