We worked today with Raimund Fromme (husband of Dr. Petra Fromme) on vapor diffusion of a different protein (phycocyanin). This was the protein that we centrifuged yesterday. In the next day, the crystals should form and we will be able to look at these crystals when we come back on Thursday. Following will be the x-ray diffraction maybe this week. The type of experiment we did today worked well without having to repeat the process, whihc means then that we are getting better withe use of materials such micropippetors :).
