Hi Robert, If you don't mind the crystals being rather small, then polyhedra crystals might be what you're after (in fact, many microcrystals satisfy your criteria). There is a mini review here: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/0889311X.2010.527964 These articles should also help. Ji, X.; Sutton, G.; E

[ccp4bb] Searching for very radiation sensitive crystals

2011-04-11 Thread Robert Thorne
Dear CCP4 Community, We are trying to find protein or virus crystals that diffract to reasonably high resolution (2.5 Angstroms or better) and that are very radiation sensitive at room temperature. "Very radiation sensitive" in this case means that the diffraction dies after a few frames, for cry
