Crystals were routinely grown at room temperature using the hanging drop vapor diffusion method by mixing 4uL of concentrated NA1/P3C with a mother liquor solution of 24% polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000, 150mM ammonium phosphate, at pH 7.5. Crystals formed as large plate clusters within approximately 2 weeks. Following initial crystal growth, 8uL of a solution containing 45% PEG 4000, 100mM ammonium phosphate, at pH 7.5 was added to the crystal drop to facilitate the removal of water from the crystal and improve diffraction quality by producing a more compact and ordered crystal lattice |
