Crystalization Experiments
ID	Method	pH	Temperature	Details
1	VAPOR DIFFUSION, SITTING DROP	6	295	The protein sample was 12 mg/mL in 20 mM carbonate buffer-pH 10.5, 2.5 mM PLP, 2.5 mM cycloserine, and 2.5 mM DTT. Crystals were obtained using a 0.7 mL well composition of 22(w/v)% polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME) 5000, 0.1 M MES, 9 (v/v) % tacsimate and a 2 uL sitting drop prepared from equal volumes of protein and well solution., VAPOR DIFFUSION, SITTING DROP, temperature 295K
