Hi all,
We recently observed some diffraction from membrane protein crystallization
drops diffraction that look like non-proteinaceous (please see attached files,
from 4 different crystals grown in different conditions).
Rains' question about about lipid and detergent diffraction is so relevant.
This is most likely what lipids and detergent diffraction looks like?
People with similar experience and know what could be these patterns
might be from may have better suggestions and
would like to hear all comments.
first four images are from drops where detergent is DDM and and vapor diffusion
while last image is from a crystal grown in mesophase (with monoolein).
