Within modern biology, the modeling of the three-dimensional structure of proteins provides relevant and irreplaceable information to determine their function or characteristics. One of the most used methods is X-ray crystallography; for this it is necessary to obtain protein crystals; by methods such as vapor diffusion. In which a drop of pure and homogeneous sample with precipitant reaches supersaturation and changes are observed in the drop. Different results can be obtained apart from crystals, such as the formation of Spherulites, concentrated and uniform protein droplets, which present a good starting point in optimizing the process of protein crystal formation. In 2011, a first crystal and subsequent structure of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis pyrazinamidase enzyme of the H37Rv strain was obtained, using the hanging drop method and MgSO4 as precipitant; however, the result could never be reproduced with the conditions determined in that investigation. In this study using the hanging drop method will be extended are the best conditions to obtain a Spherulite state of the K48T mutant pyrazinamidase. Pyrazinamidase K48T Spherulites were obtained in 1.5M MgSO4, 100 mM BME, 5, 10 and 20mg/ml PZAsa in pH 6.5 Bis TRIS buffer at 25°C.
