Possible PEG precipitation titration
(if Val's doesn't come out, or if would like more precision...)
| trial | folding reaction (μL) | 20% peg / 2.5 M NaCl (μL) | water (μL) | final PEG concentration |
| 1 | 10 | 4 | 6 | 4% |
| 2 | 10 | 5 | 5 | 5% |
| 3 | 10 | 6 | 4 | 6% |
| 4 | 10 | 7 | 3 | 7% |
| 5 | 10 | 8 | 2 | 8% |
| 6 | 10 | 9 | 1 | 9% |
| 7 | 10 | 10 | 0 | 10% |

results
- it's difficult to draw any firm conclusions because of the poor quality of the gel, but it appears that increased concentrations of PEG lead to increased precipitation
- where next: higher concentrations of PEG?
