Abstract

Lysozyme single crystals up to 2.0 mm in size have been grown from solution into capillaries which are previously punctuated into a gel layer through which the precipitant agent diffuse. These large single crystals show an excellent optical quality and it is demonstrated by in situ X-ray diffraction that they diffract up to 1.8–1.9 Å.

    There are several methods for setting up capillary crystallization experiments (for a detailed review, refer to the comprehensive article by Otalora et al. (2009), with the most common setups often involving the precipitant and protein solutions being separated by a physical buffer, usually a gel such as agarose, in order to delay the onset of diffusion or avoid osmotic shock. An example is the Gel Acupuncture Method (Garcia-Ruiz, Moreno, Viedma, & Coll, 1993), where a capillary filled with protein is embedded in agarose gel. Precipitant solution is added on top of or in the gel, which then proceeds to diffuse into the protein solution and up the capillary.

    These advances in the growth of proteins in capillary tubes permitted Prof. García-Ruiz and his team to develop, in 1993, the first variant of the counter-diffusion methods, called the gel acupuncture technique (well-known with the acronym GAME) [16]. This novel technique consists of a precipitating agent that diffuses through the gel inside a capillary tube filled with a protein solution, thus also enabling crystallisation of small molecular weight compounds [17]. These methods applied to proteins will be discussed at the end of this review.

    The addition of a low concentration of agarose (0.15% m/v) minimises the effects of gravity on fluid dynamics. This is a prerequisite for the implementation of counter-diffusion in glass capillaries (García-Ruiz et al., 1993, 1999; García-Ruiz and Moreno, 1997; Ng et al., 2003). In a similar investigation, 0.05% (m/v) gellan gum (a water-soluble bacterial polysaccharide) sufficed to depress convection and detect wider concentration gradients near the surface of growing lysozyme crystals and lower transport rates than in solution (Hou et al., 2001).
