Hi, I am used to have the same problem with hydrophobic ligands, in special due to the rupture of crystals solely by the solvent even in tiny amount. So, I decided to mix a suspension of the ligand with the crystallization drop (once assured I can distinguish the protein from ligand). In

You can try DMI (1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone) as an alternative to DMSO. Also, sometimes you get lucky, and the small molecule is more soluble when high concentrations of glycerol are present, so you can do the soak in a cryo buffer... On Jan 22, 2007, at 3:40 PM, Green, Todd wrote: H
