The beta-D353G/D357G MoFe-protein was crystallized anaerobically at 17.5 mg/mL under 100% N2 atmosphere. The protein was spotted as a sitting drop to 96-Well MRC 2-Drop polystyrene Crystallization Plates (SWISSCI) containing 90 uL of crystallization solution in the reservoir. Each drop contained 0.5 uL of protein sample and 0.5 uL of crystallization solution. Crystals were obtained in the crystallization solution containing 10 % w/v Polyethylene glycol 10,000; 2 % v/v 1,4-Dioxane; 100 mM tri-Sodium citrate; pH 5.6, and 1 mM polyoxotungstate [TeW6O24]6- (TEW). Sealed plates were stored inside a Coy anaerobic chamber filled with an atmosphere of N2:H2 97:3 at 20 C. Crystals were soaked in the crystallization solution supplemented with 30% v/v ethylene glycol for a few seconds before freezing in liquid nitrogen. |
