Have you ever tried the condition of AS as precipitant and PEG as the additive? They have opposite functions on your protein's solubility:one increases and decrease it. Maybe you can vary the ratio of them to control your protein's solubility. And the xtals may be seen in some conditions. Good luck! leo Xingding Zhou wrote: > > Dear All, > > > > I have several proteins that share a common problem.
