Crystallization Optimization<br />

JBScreen Plus<br />

To select the formulations of the JBScreen Plus solutions, numerous<br />

reports on the use of additives to improve the quality and size of<br />

macromolecular crystals have been evaluated. These additives are<br />

commonly small molecules, which seem to affect sample-sample and<br />

sample-solvent interactions, as well as the solvent structure itself.<br />

JBScreen Plus comprises 5 kits, including kosmotropic (structurestabilizing)<br />

and chaotropic (structure-disturbing) additives, salts, volatile<br />

and non-volatile organics and other compounds. Each kit contains 24<br />

different additives, supplied in ready-made aliquots (100 µl each, except<br />

the JBScreen Plus Volatiles kit, containing 1 ml each), with adjusted<br />

concentration and sterile fi ltered. All solutions come in tightly closing<br />

glass vials that will keep them fresh and sterile.<br />

JBScreen Plus solutions are most useful in the optimization of preliminary<br />

crystallization conditions, where specifi c interactions between the<br />

additives and the biological macromolecule may assist in the initial crystallization<br />

of the sample and may help to improve the size and diffraction<br />

quality of the crystals.<br />
