Protein-Nucleic Acid Complex Crystal Screen
Currently available screens for protein-nucleic acid complex crystallization rely on the use of additives that may promote the crystallization nucleic acids dissociated from the protein. Thus, these screens can lead to false hits and wasted sample. This screen was designed specifically for protein-nucleic acid complex crystallization. The condition formulations have been developed from an in-depth analysis of actual conditions of existing protein-nucleic acid complexes in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). Through an incomplete factorial method, conditions from the nearly 2,000 deposited protein-nucleic acid complexes were summarized into an extremely efficient 48 condition screen. This screen has been successfully used by the Hollis lab for years.
- Directed screen for protein-nucleic acid complex crystallization
- Based on proven conditions from PDB
- Especially useful when amount of sample is limited
