Bcl-xL Δ27–82 and A142L (both without the membrane anchor) were produced as described previously.[7a (link), 15a (link)] The synthesis of 1 has been described.[7a (link)] Crystals of Bcl-xL Δ27–82 and 1 were obtained by mixing at a molar ratio of 1:1.3 then concentrating the sample to 10 mg/ml. Crystals were grown by the sitting drop method at room temperature in 0.2 M lithium nitrate, 20% (w/v) polyethylene glycol 3350. Prior to flash freezing in liquid N2, crystals were equilibrated into cryoprotectant consisting of reservoir solution plus increasing concentrations of ethylene glycol to a final concentration of 20%. Data collection and refinement methods are detailed in Table S1.
