1	VAPOR DIFFUSION, SITTING DROP	9	281	FluB polymerase was concentrated to 9 mg per ml (37 microM) in a buffer containing 500 mM NaCl, 50 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 5% glycerol and 2mM Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP), and mixed with 40 microM vRNA for crystallization in hanging drops at 4 C. A trigonal crystal form (FluB1) was obtained by mixing polymerase with nucleotides 5-18 of the 3 prime end and 1-14 of the 5 prime end of the vRNA in a condition containing 0.1 M bicine pH 9.0, 10% MPD.
