The protein was crystallized fresh without any freezing step, and obtained through the sitting drop method on a 96-Well MRC 2-Drop Crystallization Plates in polystyrene (SWISSCI, United Kingdom) under anaerobic conditions (N2:H2, gas ratio of 97:3). Crystallization was performed at 9 mg/ml glutamine synthetase in 25 mM Tris/HCl pH 7.6, 10% v/v glycerol, and 2 mM dithiothreitol. The reservoir contained 90 ul precipitant (1.6 M sodium citrate tribasic dihydrate). 0.55 uL protein was mixed with 0.55 uL precipitant. Crystals were soaked for 4 min in the crystallization solution supplemented with 10 mM ATP/Mg2+/sodium glutamate and then back soaked in the crystallization solution supplemented with 25% glycerol prior to freezing in liquid nitrogen. |
