Solubility & Stability Screens

Since there is no such thing as a standard buffer for all proteins, success of purification and downstream processing of a particular protein of interest greatly depends on identification of a buffer environment that facilitates the protein’s stability & homogeneity in solution. Thus, in most labs it has become routine to search for stabilizing conditions before starting time-consuming crystallization experiments. Choose your favorite from a number of screens.

FORMOscreen®

Antibody formulation screen with 96 FDA- and EMA-approved conditions as starting points to develop preformulations for new therapeutic and diagnostic antibody candidates.

JBScreen Thermofluor

Determine a protein stabilizing environment by strictly categorizing screening into fundamental and specific factors.

JBS Solubility Kit

Optimize the solubility of your protein sample prior to crystallization trials.

JBScreen Solubility HTS

High throughput protein solubility screen to find optimal buffer conditions for crystallization and storage of your protein.

JBScreen LCP

JBScreen LCP is a crystallization screen designed for efficient screening of crystallization conditions in the Lipidic Cubic Phase (LCP), which has become the method of choice for membrane protein crystallization in different types of LCP lipids.
The 96 conditions of JBScreen LCP result from data mining of 192 integral membrane proteins, that were successfully crystallized by the in meso method and have yielded structures [1].
The screen is ordered by type and concentration of the precipitant and is free of cacodylate.

JBScreen Membrane

JBScreen Membrane

JBScreen Membrane covers 96 of the most successful conditions for crystallization of membrane proteins. Each individual composition results from an extensive analysis of the crystallization conditions that have yielded membrane protein structures so far.

The JBScreen Membrane crystallization conditions are primarily ordered by type and concentration of the precipitant. This allows easy extraction of all relevant information for a straightforward refinement: Once you get a hit, you immediately see the effects of the neighbouring conditions. The subsequent fine tuning of preliminary hits will be much more efficient.

JBScreen Detergents perfectly complement JBScreen Membrane: This combination enables you to screen a broad range of detergents, while concentrating on the most successful crystallization conditions, making crystallization screening of membrane proteins much more efficient and less time consuming.

JBScreen Detergents

JBScreen Detergents

JBScreen Detergents contain 4 x 24 unique detergents that are compatible with most common crystallization reagents and are therefore perfectly suited for membrane protein solubilization:

  • Ionic detergents
  • Non-ionic detergents
  • Zwitterionic detergents
  • Non-detergent Sulfobetaines
  • Synthetic Lipids

JBScreen Detergents can be used throughout the protein purification process or can be added afterwards by dialysis or ion-exchange chromatography (detergent exchange). Detergent exchange can be vital for obtaining well-diffracting membrane-protein crystals [1].
JBScreen Detergents is also valuable for additive screening with detergents and detergent mixtures [2,3] in combination with the JBScreen Membrane. This combination will enable you to screen a broad range of detergents, while concentrating on the most successful crystallization conditions, making crystallization screening of membrane proteins much more efficient and less time consuming.

Amphipol A8-35

Amphipols are short amphipatic polymers that are specifically designed to stabilize membrane proteins in aqueous solutions.
Due to their dense distribution of hydrophobic chains they tightly bind to transmembrane surfaces of membrane proteins and cover it with a thin interfacial layer of surfactant[1]. The resulting small hydrophilic complexes have several advantages over usually much larger protein detergent complexes, such as stability and functionality of the membrane protein.
Amphipol A8-35 is successfully applied as stabilizing agent in Cryo-EM[2-5] and X-ray crystallography[6].

LCP Lipids & Phospholipids

Membrane protein crystallization using lipidic cubic phase (LCP) is proving to be a successful methodology for obtaining good quality diffracting crystals from membrane proteins due to its membrane native-like environment[1].

Monoolein is the first choice lipid for performing an LCP crystallization experiment. However, since the nature of the lipid determines the nature of the LCP, it’s worth varying the LCP characteristics by screening different lipids, especially when initial crystallization attempts with monoolein have failed[2,3].
The anionic phospholipid DSPG is used in combination with monoacylglycerols (MAGs) to create thermodynamically stable ultraswollen bicontinuous cubic phases with water channels five times larger than traditional lipidic mesophases, suitable for the crystallization of membrane proteins with large extracellular domains[4].

The LCP host lipids & phospholipids listed below are suited to form a stable lipidic cubic phase for membrane protein crystallization.

LCP Mixer Kit

LCP Mixer Kit

The LCP Mixer Kit is designed for manual preparation of the Lipidic Cubic Phase (LCP). It is developed by Douglas Instruments (UK) and has several advantages over other LCP Mixer Kits and Sets:

  • Easier assembly of the syringes and loading into the device – less “fiddly”.
  • Easier to operate – less awkward.
  • Virtually no loss of LCP: After mixing the LCP is in the male syringe ready for use.
  • The needle is already in position for immediate dispensing.
  • Better viewing: The light cloudiness just before the LCP is formed is visible, also there may be variations within the syringe.
  • The syringe can be cooled by putting it on ice for a few seconds, which can help LCP to form (17°C is recommended).
  • Compatible with all Hamilton syringes from 25 to 500 µl.
  • Advantage over automatic mixers: One can feel if the needle becomes slightly blocked, which reduces the danger of cracking a syringe.
