Analytical grade (NH4)2CO3, CaCl2·2H2O and L-aspartic acid sodium salt monohydrate were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used as received. Na2SiO3 solution (1.35 g cm−3) was from Merck Chemicals, and aqueous stock solutions were prepared using Milli-Q water, 18.2 MΩcm. Stock solutions of L-α PC (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine, >99%, Sigma) were prepared in HPLC-grade chloroform. Glassware used to prepare solutions was soaked overnight in 10% w/v NaOH, followed by rinsing with dilute HCl and finally washing with Milli-Q water. Glass slides and crystallizing dishes were placed overnight in Piranha solution (70:30 wt% H2SO4: H2O2) and then washed copiously with Milli-Q water before drying with acetone.

Crystallization of gpASNase(1-309)

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A variety of crystallization screens
(Qiagen) were applied to purified His6-TEV-gpASNase(1–309).
Several hits were obtained that contained buffers ranging from pH
5.0–6.5, 0.1–0.2 M salt (ammonium acetate, ammonium
sulfate, lithium sulfate), and 17–25% PEG 3350–10000.
Condition 22 from The Protein Complex Suite (0.15 M ammonium sulfate,
0.1 M MES at pH 6.0, and 15% PEG 4000) was optimized. For setups,
1 μL of protein (35–45 mg/mL in 20 mM CAPS at pH 10.5,
100 mM KCl, and 2 mM DTT) was mixed with 1 μL of reservoir solution
(0.2 M ammonium sulfate, 0.1 M MES at pH 6.0, and 13–15% PEG
3350) on a glass coverslip and left to undergo vapor diffusion using
the hanging drop method at 20 °C. Large rod-like crystals grew
within 1 day. To obtain the Asp-bound gpASNase3 complex, crystals
were first soaked in a solution (0.1 M MES at pH 6.0 and 15% PEG 3350)
containing 2 M glycine to cleave the enzyme followed by a soak in
cryoprotectant solution (0.1 M MES at pH 6.0, 15% PEG 3350, and 30%
ethylene glycol) containing saturated l-aspartic acid sodium
salt monohydrate (Sigma A6683).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
