ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides processes for identifying a buffer condition suitable for determining a biophysical property of a protein. The processes of this invention utilize vapor diffusion means to alter buffer conditions, thus minimizing the volume of test samples and thereby conserving protein material. The processes of this invention are particularly useful to determine a buffer condition suitable for performing NMR studies on a protein.
