SpaO(145-213, SeMet) + SpaO (232-297, SeMet) + OrgB(1-30)::T4 lysozyme (native) was concentrated to 18mg/mL, supplemented with 50mM maltose, and crystallized with 25% PEG3350, 200mM ammonium formate, 100mM sodium acetate pH=5.0. Microseeding was employed to enhance crystal uniformity and diffraction. Briefly, crystals to be seeded were harvested in precipitant solution and vortexed in a microfuge tube with a small stir bar for ~60 seconds. The slurry of microseeds was serially dilluted (5-10-fold steps) in precipitant solution and 5 selected microseed-precipitant mixtures were mixed with fresh protein as in a normal hanging drop experiment. Crystals were cryoprotected in 25% PEG3350, 10% ethylene glycol, 200mM ammonium formate, 100mM sodium acetate pH=5.0, 50mM maltose. |
