Problems solved by technology

When the crystals obtained by these methods are diffracted, not only will a large amount of protein crystals be wasted, but also there will be background scattering, which will affect the quality of diffraction data
In addition, due to the small size of tiny crystals, there are major technical difficulties in their preparation methods and crystal solidification methods

Embodiment 1

[0021] Example 1: Preparation of micro-nanoscale lysozyme crystals that can exist stably in the air.

[0022] The first step: preparing lysozyme crystallization solution. First, prepare two pH 3 acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solutions. Then, the No.100940 lysozyme of Japan Seikagaku Company was dissolved in a buffer solution, and the initial concentration was 80mgml -1 . Secondly, dissolve the superior grade pure sodium chloride in another buffer solution to prepare a precipitant solution, the initial concentration is 80mgml -1 . Finally, equal volumes of lysozyme solution and sodium chloride solution were mixed to obtain a protein crystallization solution.

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of micro-and nanoscale protein crystals capable of stably existing in air. Protein mini-crystals grow through the simple and feasible method, chemical cross-linking is conducted on the mini-crystals through a cross-linking agent, and the protein mini-crystals capable of stably existing in air are obtained. The method is convenient to operate, economical and practical; the prepared protein mini-crystals do not need crystal rings or capillary tubes when used for free electron laser diffraction, and background scattering can be eliminated; when the crystals are used as a catalyst, a sample can not be dissolved and can be repeatedly used.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing protein microcrystals, in particular to a method for preparing micro-nano-scale protein microcrystals that can exist stably in air, and belongs to the field of protein crystallization methodology. Background technique [0002] At present, in the protein structure database, more than 88% of the protein structures are obtained by X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. Obtaining high-quality protein single crystals is the key to this technology, and it is also the bottleneck of this technology. Because many proteins are difficult to crystallize or obtain single crystals of appropriate size, breaking through the traditional X-ray single crystal diffraction technology to analyze the structure has become a new direction of effort. Recently, the method of using free electron lasers (free electron lasers, XFELs) to diffract a large number of micro-nano scale protein crystals to obtain diffraction data has be...
