Hello all

I am novice to this field and trying to crystallize a protein-protein
complex verses DNA i.e a ternary complex of protein complex and DNA, which
stochiometry is 2:!.
I am wondering
1-what should be the DNA and protein ratio for the ternary complex like this
typically for binary complex it is taken as 1.2 :1.

2- what  should be the minimum concentation of DNA in the crystallization
drop while protein-DNA complex (binary complex of protein-DNA)
crystallization. similary what care should be taken for the ternary complex
crystallisation.

3- What are the screen would be better to start the screening of
crystallisation of the complex.

4- Whether crystallisation under oil could be done for the complexes or
hanging drop would be better than the crystallisation under oil in this
concern.

I would really apprecitae the suggestions.

Thanks in advance
thomas
