Hi Brenda, Maybe you want to have a look at the cryoprotectant database for protein crystals. http://idb.exst.jaxa.jp/db_data/protein/search-e.php There you can search for your precipitant and get a list of compatible freezing conditions that worked before including the reference. It is

Soluble possibilities include glucose, ethylene glycol, DMSO, glycerol (15-30%). You may not need much cryoprotectant at all at these salt concentrations. PEGs are not very soluble in high ammonium sulfate solutions. (I think PEG-400 can go up to only 4% or so at 2 M ammonium sulfate.) Cheers

Hi Brenda, You can try sugars like glucose, trehalose and sucrose for high AS contents. It has been succesfully used in really hard cases such at protein RNA crystals grown in AS. see Acta Cryst (2002) D58 1664-1669 Garber et al. HTH Pascal Egea
