Re: [ccp4bb]: low-temp data collection

Look at 
"The structures of deoxy human haemoglobin and the mutant
Hb Tyrosine a42->His at 120K"
Tame and Vallone, Acta Cryst D56, 805-811

It is possible to protect the crystals from oxygen using dithionite,
at least long enough to cryo-cool them.

>>Sorry to post this here, but could somone help me on this.  How do you
collect a low-temperature dataset with a deoxyhemoglobin crystal without
exposing the crystal to atmospheric air.  Thank you.
