A flow chart describing the sequence of events undertaken in this study. Purified protein was received and initial screening via sitting-drop vapor-diffusion experiments was set up. If initial crystals were single and harvestable, they were analyzed via X-ray diffraction. If the initial protein crystals produced high-quality X-ray diffraction data, the structure was solved without MPCS optimization. However, if the initial X-ray diffraction data were poor, or if the initial crystals were small or not harvestable, the crystals were optimized using the MPCS. |
