| 1 | VAPOR DIFFUSION, SITTING DROP | 7 | 291 | 1.53M Sodium Malonate, pH 7.0. PlfaA.00133.a.A3.PS38777 at 12.3 mg/mL. Crystals were obtained as the GSU complex and soaked for 2 weeks with 10 mM Histidine in cryoprotectant. This displaced the GSU ligand resulting in an apo structure. Histidine was not bound. plate Liu-S-192 H8 , Puck: PSL-0115, Cryo: 3.4M sodium malonate |
