Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing protein crystal. The method comprises the following steps: mixing base solution, protein aqueous solution and polymeric additive aqueous solution to obtain crystalline liquid; standing the crystalline liquid in an incubator for culturing by adopting a pendant-drop method so as to obtain the protein crystal, wherein the base solution consists of precipitator and pH buffer solution. The protein crystal is grown by utilizing the method to obtain crystals of different shapes under different conditions and successfully regulate the appearance of the protein crystals. In addition, the crystallization conditions are obviously relaxed, the single-crystal diffracted intensity is high, and the result repeatability is good.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing protein crystals, belonging to the field of protein crystallization. Background technique [0002] The three-dimensional structure of protein plays a very important role in understanding its biological function, designing drugs and genetic engineering of protein drugs. At present, X-ray single crystal diffraction method is one of the most important research methods to obtain the three-dimensional structure of protein through single crystal. For X-ray single crystal diffraction methods, protein single crystals must be of sufficient size and integrity. However, due to the lack of interaction sites and weak interaction forces between protein molecules in solution, protein crystals often contain a large proportion of water. Therefore, it is still difficult to obtain protein crystals with a relatively regular internal structure. Obtaining high-quality protein crystals is still a bottleneck in protein structu...
