In this work, a new method for the derivatization of protein crystals was developed, by using ion-exchange membranes to gently transport ions and heavy atoms to the protein solution. The controlled diffusion regulated by the membrane allows maintaining crystal stability along the process and avoids all the handling procedures, usually performed during conventional soaking.
