I had a case where adding 5% glycerol (I was using 20% as
cryoprotectant) to my crystallization trials not only gave a four
times smaller cell with all translation-only NCS removed - it also
increased resolution from about 2.5 to 1.5A.
The same reduction in unit cell occured when going from 0 to 20%
cryoprotectant using the original crystallization conditions. But the
crystals did show some cracks and were not as good.
Cheers
