Hi Opher,
I seem to recall some old papers in which glutarldehyde was used (in the RESERVOIR only) in order to promote crystallization of proteins with suspected inter-domain flexibility. Unfortunately, I don't have specific references in mind.
Cheers,

Subject: [ccp4bb] Protein crosslinking before crystallization
Hi all
Does anyone have experience or insights on intramolecular crosslinking of proteins before crystallization? The idea is to lock a felxible (multidomain) protein into a restricted conformation.
Thanks,
Opher
