Crystalization Experiments
ID	Method	pH	Temperature	Details
1	VAPOR DIFFUSION	5.1		THE NS3 PROTEIN (1MG/ML) WAS INCUBATED AT 4C WITH THE NS4A COFACTOR PEPTIDE, CONTAINING A SOLUBIZING LYSINE TAG AT ITS N- AND C-TERMINI(KGSVVIVGRIILSGRK), AT A MOLAR RATIO OF 1:2 AND CONCENTRATED TO 290 MICROMOLAR. NS3J/4A CRYSTALS, WITH A MAXIMUM SIZE OF 0.6 X 0.3 X 0.2 MM**3, WERE OBTAINED BY BOTH HANGING- AND SITTING-DROP VAPOUR DIFFUSION METHODS AFTER TWO WEEKS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, WITH 3.4 M NACL, 10MM DTT, 0.1 M CITRATE BUFFER PH 5.1.
