SG1™ Screen
SHARE
SG1™* (ShotGun) Screen represents the most successful, non-redundant
frequently reported crystallization conditions from all the early
commercially available crystallization screens.
The term "shotgun
screening" was coined early in the Structural Genomics era and refers
to the process of setting up experiments using pre-mixed cocktails until
a crystal of sufficient quality is obtained.
Therefore the best place to
start screening is within the context of previously successful
crystallization space, "Although only 14% of successful crystallization
conditions from the PDB are identical to a commercial condition, almost
40% of the PDB conditions can be obtained by trivial optimization of a
commercial cocktail.” (Fazio et al) So this is a reasonable place to
commence screening.
