Dear all,
Sorry about a non-crystallographic question here.
I am working on a kinase and would like to get an ATP analogue into
the crystals. When soaked with AMP-PCP, the kinase crystals crack in
about 15 min at 4 C.
I could try other analogues like AMP-PNP etc, but those would probably
behavour in a same way as AMP-PCP. Is it a good idea of trying quick
soaks at high concentrations of AMP-PCP? Co-crystallization is another
option I have but AMP-PCP is a substrate of the kinase (with low
rate).
What are other ways of getting ATP analogues into a crystal?
Thanks for suggestions,
Dianfan
