Abstract

The invention provides a glass surface grafting method for protein crystallization, which comprises the following steps: soaking a glass sheet subjected to alcohol or acetone ultrasonic treatment in concentrated sulfuric acid and oxydol; cleaning the glass surface with deionized water until the pH value is 7, soaking in an silane solution diluted by an organic solvent to obtain a glass substrate, preparing a protein crystallization solution, dropping on the surface of the glass substrate to obtain liquid drops, and standing to crystallize; and observing under a microscope, and making statistics on the condition number of protein crystals. According to the invention, the functional group is grafted on the crystal glass surface, so that the protein is concentrated on the glass surface and simultaneously forms an ordered structure on the bottom surface to lower the surface energy of nucleation, thereby enhancing the success rate of protein crystallization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for grafting glass surface functional groups for protein crystallization, in particular to a method for screening protein crystallization conditions by grafting functional groups on the glass surface. Background technique [0002] Protein is the carrier of life activities, and elucidating protein-related functions is the key to exploring life phenomena. Protein structure is the premise and foundation of functional research. X-ray diffraction technology is currently the most important and reliable research method for obtaining protein structure. High-quality protein crystals are the prerequisite for obtaining high-resolution structural information. Screening crystallizable conditions is the first step to obtain high-quality protein crystals, and it is one of the important bottlenecks restricting protein structure research. [0003] Protein crystal growth involves two steps: nucleation and growth. Nucleation is the fir...
