Protein crystallization: virtual screening and optimization.
Advances in genomics have yielded entire genetic sequences for a variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. This accumulating information has escalated the demands for three-dimensional protein structure determinations. As a result, high-throughput structural genomics has become a major international research focus. This effort has already led to several significant improvements in X-ray ...
متن کاملProtein Crystallization Screening Using Associative Experimental Design
Protein crystallization remains a highly empirical process. The purpose of protein crystallization screening is the determination of the main factors of importance leading to protein crystallization. One of the major problems about determining these factors is that screening is often expanded to many hundreds or thousands of conditions to maximize combinatorial chemical space coverage for a suc...
متن کاملProtein Crystallization Screening through Scattering Techniques
We have employed dynamic light scattering and X-ray small-angle scattering for monitoring the cluster formation of hen-egg white lysozyme solutions under crystallization conditions. From time-resolved dynamic light scattering experiments we can obtain a set of observables that exhibit clear extrema, when simultaneously plotted as functions of protein and electrolyte molarity. Close to these ext...
متن کاملSingle-drop optimization of protein crystallization.
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 micro...
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...
