An example for how crystallization at non-physiological pH (and non-physiological concentrations and non-physiological environmental) may influence behavior of the protein is the Botulinum A LC protease. Under normal conditions (upon endocytosis of a few molecules at best into the nerve cell),

Hi Acoot, Here are some examples you can look at: PDB: 1X0I (crystal structure of bacteriorhodopsin (acid blue form) at pH 2) PDB: 1X0K (crystal structure of bacteriorhodopsin at pH 10) PDB: 2W2E (crystal structure of aquaporin at pH 3.5) PDB: 1YMG (crystal structure of aquaporin at pH 10)

Dear All, A protein crystal can be got at pH 5 or 8, or a pH with much extreme value. What will be the relatively extreme pH value to get the crystal on the protein structure solved based on the crystal got? I mean usually we regard the physiological pH as 7. If a crystal was got at pH 5, the
