Dear Julius,
That is a very typical diffraction pattern of lipid/detergent crystals.
Best regards,
Isabel

Dear all,
I am trying to crystallize a membrane protein together with lipids. I am using DDM for solubilization and during the purification. I got some crystals (mainly needles) that appear in a very high concentrated PEG 400 (~50%) condition. They give a very strange diffraction pattern (see attached). Does anyone saw something like this or has some ideas?
Thanks for your help.
Julius
