The protein was concentrated to 20 mg/mL in 100 mM Tris pH 8.0. Immediately before crystallization, chymotrypsin was added to the sample in a ratio of 1:100 chymotrypsin:protein, and the protein was diluted to 15 mg/mL using MPD, resulting in a final MPD concentration of 25%. Reservoirs were prepared using 750 uL of 100 mM sodium phosphate pH 7.6 and 60% MPD in a Greiner 24-well hanging-drop crystallization plate. On a siliconized glass cover slip (Hampton Research), 1.5 uL of protein were combined with 2.5 uL of reservoir solution and suspended over the well. The plate was incubated at 277 K and crystals were obtained in a few days. |
