23. 4 (n-octyltetraoxyethylene), 50 mM sodium citrate, pH 4.8, with a reservoir at 100 mM sodium citrate, pH 4.8 [K.-U. Wendt et al., Protein Sci. 6, 722 (1997)]. For the refinement we used a form A crystal that grew with 0.01 % (w/v) LDAO as an additive in the starting drop. Diffraction data were collected with an area detector (Siemens X-1000) on a rotating anode (Rigaku RU200B) and processed with XDS [W. Kabsch, J. Appl. Crystallogr. 21, 916 (1988)].
