Andre

I had same kind of crystal like in your picture. It diffracted around 2.7A. Even I had some crystals where one end was closed. Both hollow crystal or the closed end (part) crystal diffracted same.

With regards

Syed

Dear all,

We have recently obtained crystals from a small protein, and
interestingly, at least for me, they are hollow trigonal rods (please see
pictures attached).

Just out of curiosity, has anybody ever seen such feature
for protein crystals before?

Regards,

-Andre.
