1	LIQUID DIFFUSION	7	295	Combine and vortex 4.45M sodium malonate with 100 uL protein (135 mg/ml initial concentration) for a final sodium malonate concentration of 3.2M. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Spin at 10,000g for 2 hours in small spin concentrators. Vortex and let stand at room temperature for 4 hours. Harvest crystals and rebuffer with 3.0M sodium malonate.
