[ccp4bb] SEC and MALS

2019-08-26 Thread Natesh Ramanathan
Dear  Friends,

Can you share your experience with examples of MALS giving lower
molecular weight (Eg. Monomer) and  SEC giving higher molecular weight (Eg.
Dimer),  for the same protein sample?

  If you have/know any published paper, can you please point me to that
reference paper or send me the paper?

Many thanks.
Best regards,
Natesh

[ccp4bb] RFP for Drug Discovery - In Silico Small Molecule Screening Awards

2019-08-26 Thread Nick DeHaan
Hi CCP4BB Community,

I’m excited to announce that the next round of the Atomwise AIMS Awards
program is now accepting proposals! The award program provides in silico
small molecule screening as well as compounds and is open to all non-profit
research institutions, including international applicants.

This cycle, we are also excited to offer a few awards that provide in-kind
support up to $20K to subsidize assay work, in addition to screening and
compounds. Please feel free to share this opportunity with your colleagues
and collaborators. You can find more info and apply online at
http://bit.ly/33Y1zVp.

The goal of the AIMS Awards program is to help researchers discover new
molecular tool compounds or start drug discovery programs. Atomwise has
worked with over 200 research institutions via this program, including
Duke, Tulane, University of Toronto, and DNDi.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. You can contact me
directly at n...@atomwise.com.

Best,
Nick

Re: [ccp4bb] SeMet data

2019-08-26 Thread Nukri Sanishvili
Hi Lindsey,
Obviously, one would need a lot more information to properly diagnose the
problem and I am sure much smarter people them me will ask you for that.
But just to move the task by couple of steps, I want to point out couple of
things.
1. Trivial question: did you have the anomalous option turned on during
data processing? (Just like from the IT help - is your computer turned on?)
2. How much data did you collect for each half of the inverse beam
geometry? If you have enough, try phasing with only one half. When done
properly, inverse beam experiment is great but it can easily get tricky
introducing systematic errors and thus swamping anomalous signal.  If you
redo the inverse beam, use little wider wedges, say, 5-10 degrees.
3. I thought an example of diffraction image would not give any useful
information but... Judging by how smooth the background is on your Pilatus
image, I am guessing you have used a lot of exposure. Can you calculate how
much dose did you put in your crystal? If you are going to re-do the
experiment, I would suggest reducing the exposure level and collecting more
data.
4. Because you are not showing f' and f" plots, I am guessing that you are
doing SAD. If it fails and you end up redoing your experiment and you have
crystals for it, you might want to try 2-wavelength MAD but for that you
would need to know exactly where is inflection point and collect one of the
datasets there.

Good luck!
Nukri

I have some Seleno-Methionine protein crystals (12 SeMet of 211 amino acids, 
incorporation verified by Mass Spec). I've already collected several datasets 
(ALS BL5.0.2) but I seem to be losing (rejecting?) a lot of anomalous signal 
during data processing. I'm most familiar with HKL2000, but I have tried XDS 
and DIALS auto-processing. Here is a scan:

need to adjust my collection strategy? All previous datasets have been in space 
group P 21 with dimensions of approx. 24.5Å, 85Å, 40Å, 90°, 96.5°, 90°. I'm
