RE: What Biologists do all Day - Structural Biology AGAIN
There are several things that can happen. The protein can just fall out and not crystallize at all. Different forms of useless crystals can form (like the needles). Or ... no crystal at all:
Thanks for clarification. :)
Many proteins are impossible to crystallize at date, i´ve tried 4000 mixes on a single protein with out a trace of crystal :)) 4000 is not so much thou its just 40 x micro arrays with 100 different crystallization spots/mixes(as seen in the article) and a robot does all the work so just pray for crystals :)
