| 1 | VAPOR DIFFUSION, HANGING DROP | 5.5 | 277 | After thorough optimization of crystallization conditions needle shaped crystals (approx. 300x50x50um) could be obtained by mixing 1uL of the NOX-E36-CCL2 complex (in 20 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2) with 1uL of a solution containing 40 mM Na cacodylate pH 5.5, 12 mM spermine tetrahydrochloride, 40 mM LiCl, 80 mM SrCl2 and 20 mM MgCl2 and subsequent vapor-diffusion equilibration against 1 mL of reservoir (35% (v/v) MPD, 5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2 and 1 mM CaCl2). Crystals used for data collection grew within three weeks at 277K. VAPOR DIFFUSION, HANGING DROP, temperature 277K |
