Dear all,

I recently obtained some spherulites while trying to crystallize my protein.
The spherulites are manually reproducible, but changing pH, protein
concentration, and salt concentration does not result in crystal formation.
Microseeding with crushed spherulites isn't a solution either as it only
yields new spherulites. Next stepp is the use of an optimization kit but I
have a limited amount of material, and I start doubting that these are
protein spherulites, as the spherulites are not particularly soft. The
condition contains 15% PEG 3350 and 200 mM NaCl. Does anyone know if PEG
3350 forms easily spherulites around that concentration?


Thanks,
