Table 2. Relative humidity of crystallization mother liquor.

Protein Primary precipitant Predicted RHi (%) Determined RHi (%)
JMJD1B 27% PEG 3350 98.6 98
BAZ2B 36% PEG 600, 8% glycerol 94.5 94
Tudor 1.6–2 M ammonium sulfate 96.8 97
JMJD2D 26% PEG 3350 98.6 99.9
MINA53 18% PEG 3350 99.4 99.9
PHIP(2) 6% PEG 3350 99.9 99.9
TPH2 14% PEG 3350, 10% ethylene glycol 95.6 96
Proteinase K 20% PEG 3350 99.3 99.9
Glucose isomerase 20–30% glucose, 10% PEG 400 95–96.5 94–96

Predicted values were determined using the Java application at http://www.embl.fr/CrystalDehydrationCollaboration/RH.html (Wheeler et al., 2012).

While glucose is not strictly a precipitant, it is acting as a precipitant in this situation and impacts the RH of the solution.
