| Research Abstract |
We screened conditions for solubilization, purification, and crystallization of plant BOR borate transporter. We found that combination of Arabidopsis BOR4 and detergent dodecylmaltoside (DDM) showed high monodispersity. Furthermore, addition of DIDS (anion exchanger inhibitor) or borate increased thermal stability of BOR4-DDM complex.
