Protein Formulation

Protein formulation in ROCK MAKER allows you to define your protein stock which can later be used in different experiments. Once inside a project, you can create a protein formulation. The Protein Info section in the Protein Formulation tab allows you to define the following:

• Any compounds you wish to co-crystallize with the protein.

• Any other added ingredients, such as a buffer or reducing agent.

• Protein concentration, lot number, storage conditions, and a space for personal notes.

You can use a protein formulation in any experiment by adding a protein layer to a particular drop.

Protein Formulation Tab

Section	Description
Protein Info	Informs you of the ID and allows you to fill in general information about the protein formulation. This section is optional.
Ingredients	Allows you to add ingredients you want to co-crystallize with the protein. By default, 3 ingredient types are available: Protein, Compound, and Ligand. You can edit the types using the Ingredient Types button on the bottom right bar of the section.
Standard Ingredients	Allows you to add ingredients from the ROCK MAKER database.
Upload Attachment	Allows you to attach any file (such as documents or spreadsheets containing information on how the protein is prepared) to the protein formulation.
