Hello everyone in ccp4bb-land, Was it one of the frequent contributors to this forum who had something to do with Google highlighting Dorothy Hodgkin’s 100th birthday? (see www.google.com http://www.google.com ). Gregg Crichlow

Thank you for the correction. I suppose 100th makes so much more sense to me, that I didn't notice that it does indeed say 104th (which matches their little biography saying she was born in 1910). Maybe they're celebrating this birthday because this year is the IYCr? .and they might have

Check out google.com. They're announcing what would have been Dorothy Hodgkin's 104th b-day. I saw the molecule, and said to myself, My goodness, that's penicillin G, and the mouseover announced the big day. She was a great scientist and a friend to thousands of us. Bob

[ccp4bb] off topic, complex precipitate in reducing reagents

2014-05-12 Thread zhuqing ouyang
Hi all, I came across a strange problem. When I purify a protein complex, let's say AB, it will precipitate when I add reducing reagent like DTT or TCEP in the gel filtration buffer, or if I don't include any reducing reagent running column, I take the peak fractions and supplemented with DTT or
