>>> I need a general advice. I don't have a suitable Model (Lets say only with a similarity of 15%) and no other model to solve the structure by MR. Then i think of anomalous experiments, but soaking with heavy metals is not good for the crystals. Since the protein is being expressed in Pichia cells, growth in Seleno-media is cumbersome. There are no ligands or ions that i can use for anomalous scattering of protein crystals. I am trying to express it in bacteria but have some issues. What is the option that i can choose to solve the structure of such a protein ? Your suggestions are highly recommended.
