Wukovitz & Yeates (1995) Nature Struc. Biol. 2(12): 1062-1067 predicts that the most probable space group for macromolecular crystallization is P -1 (P 1-bar). All you have to do to try it out is synthesize the all-D enantiomer of your protein and get it to fold properly. On 02/14/12 18:36, Pr

Have you solved the structure? It's just that you don't say why you need different crystal forms. We had to do a bit of "crystal engineering" in order to get a complex between our protein and a peptide. It turned out to be relatively simple case; visually inspecting the crystal packing (in Coot
