abstract = {Membrane proteins are indispensable for every living
organism, yet their structural organization remains
underexplored. Despite the recent advancements in
single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy and cryogenic
electron tomography, which have significantly increased the
structural coverage of membrane proteins across various
kingdoms, certain scientific methods, such as time-resolved
crystallography, still mostly rely on crystallization
techniques, such as lipidic cubic phase (LCP) or in meso
crystallization. In this study, we present an open-access
blueprint for a humidity control chamber designed for LCP/in
meso crystallization experiments using a Gryphon
crystallization robot. Using this chamber, we have obtained
crystals of a transmembrane aspartate transporter GltTk from
Thermococcus kodakarensis in a lipidic environment using in
meso crystallization. The data collected from these crystals
allowed us to perform an analysis of lipids bound to the
transporter. With this publication of our open-access design
of a humidity chamber, we aim to improve the accessibility
of in meso protein crystallization for the scientific
community.},
