Dear all cryo-EM experts,

Jumped on the cryo-EM bandwagon recently to determine 3D structures of protein complexes. Does anyone have an experience
how to mitigate a problem that a protein sample sticks to the carbon matrix of holey grids instead of being suspended in the vitreous ice
spanned by the holes? Materials that I used are;

Quantifoil R2/1 Cu 200 mesh and R1.2/1.3 Au 300 mesh
A ~320 kDa protein complex supplemented with 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5 and 200 mM NaCl

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.

Kind regards,
John
