| 1 | VAPOR DIFFUSION, SITTING DROP | 6.5 | 298 | 30mM Magnesium Acetate, 1.2M Lithium sulfate, 50mM MES pH 6.5. The crystal was crosslinked with 33mg/mL EDC overnight, and then looped into a solution of 15mM potassium chloride, 4mM calcium chloride, 10% glycerol, and 10mM Tris hydrochloride for 1 hour. The drop was then supplemented with 30 micromolar Even-skipped homeodomain |
