Single-drop optimization of protein crystallization.

چکیده
A completely new crystal-growth device has been developed that permits charting a course across the phase diagram to produce crystalline samples optimized for diffraction experiments. The utility of the device is demonstrated for the production of crystals for the traditional X-ray diffraction data-collection experiment, of microcrystals optimal for data-collection experiments at a modern microbeam insertion-device synchrotron beamline and of nanocrystals required for data collection on an X-ray laser beamline.

Nanoliter Scale High-Throughput Protein Crystallography Screening with the Echo® Liquid Handler
The Echo liquid handler enables protein crystal formation with sitting drop volumes as small as 50 nL. Nanoliter volumes of protein and crystallography reagents can be transferred into sitting drop wells of crystallography plates. Precise and accurate drop placement eliminates crosscontamination and ensures drop-on-drop placement for blending protein and crystallography solutions. Precise trans...
متن کاملHigh throughput pH optimization of protein crystallization.
Most high throughput structural proteomics centers use the sitting-drop method to obtain diffracting crystals for three-dimensional (3D) structure determination of biological macromolecules by x-ray crystallography. Although several robotic systems are available for dispensing the initial sitting-drop screening conditions, generally they are not used for optimization of crystallization conditio...
متن کاملExergy , economy and pressure drop analyses for optimal design of recuperator used in microturbine
The optimal design of a plate-fin recuperator of a 200-kW microturbine was studied in this paper. The exergy efficiency, pressure drop and total cost were selected as the three important objective functions of the recuperator. Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) were respectively employed for single-objective and multi-objective optimizations. By opt...
متن کاملEfficient optimization of crystallization conditions by manipulation of drop volume ratio and temperature.
An efficient optimization method for the crystallization of biological macromolecules has been developed and tested. This builds on a successful high-throughput technique for the determination of initial crystallization conditions. The optimization method takes an initial condition identified through screening and then varies the concentration of the macromolecule, precipitant, and the growth t...
متن کاملCrystallization of Aspergillus japonicus lipase by hanging drop method
Lipase purified from Aspergillus japonicus isolated from Ropalidia marginata paper nest was attempted for crystallization by hanging drop method. 2-methyl2, 4-pentanediol (MPD) was used as the precipitating agent and single crystals of A. japonicus lipase were obtained by using protein concentrated to 10 mg/mL and a reservoir solution containing 10-20% MPD buffered with 150 mM cacodylate buffer...
