Embodiment 1

[0026] Example 1: Prepare a lysozyme solution with a concentration of 10-50 mg / mL, and adjust the pH value of the acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer system to 4.4. Sodium chloride is used as the precipitating agent with a concentration of 3% (weight). The hanging drop crystallization method was adopted, and the hanging drop included 5 μl lysozyme solution, 2 μl butylmethylimidazole tetrafluoroborate and 12 μl buffer solution. The ratio of butylmethylimidazole tetrafluoroborate to the buffer solution in the pool liquid is consistent with that of the hanging drop, the concentration of sodium chloride is 15% (weight), and it is cultivated at room temperature to obtain block crystals as shown in Figure 2.

Embodiment 2

[0027] Example 2: Except changing the pH value of the acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer system in Example 1 to 4.6, the other all prepared hanging drops and pool liquids according to the same steps, and cultivated under the same conditions, the resulting crystals were longer than those in Figure 1. Block crystals are shown in Figure 3.

Embodiment 3

[0028] Example 3: Except that the volumes of butylmethylimidazole tetrafluoroborate and buffer solution included in the hanging drop in Example 2 were changed to 5 μl and 9 μl respectively, the hanging drop and the pool solution were prepared according to the same steps and cultivated under the same conditions. The rod-shaped crystals obtained in the experiment are shown in Fig. 4 .

Abstract

This invention provides a method for crystallizing proteins from protein solution with ionic liquid-water mixed solution. The ionic liquid-water mixed solution is composed of ionic liquid 1-85wt.%, and buffer solution 1-25 wt.%, and the pH value is 4.0-11.0. The method has a wide process conditions, and can obtain protein single crystals with different morphologies under different conditions. The obtained protein single crystals have such advantages as high diffractive intensity, high repeatability and high operability.

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a new method of protein crystallization, in particular to a new method of using ionic liquid for protein crystallization. (2) Background technology [0002] In recent years, due to the wide application of biologically active substances in medicine, pharmacy, chemistry, agriculture and industry, it is particularly important to reveal the relationship between the structure and function of biological macromolecules by X-ray crystallography. Biomacromolecules in crystal form are relatively stable, and X-ray diffraction is the most reliable method to determine the three-dimensional structure of crystal molecules. A detailed understanding of the structure of biological macromolecules is of great significance for the design of new drugs, protein engineering, and changes in molecular structure or conformation. But generally speaking, the crystal cultivation of biomacromolecules is still exploratory and empirical, and to so...
