Dear All, Fine-tuning protein and precipitant concentration is of course the first line of approach, followed by both rMMS and streak-seeding. I would like to remind you of a far less popular but often successful in my hands, optimisation technique: It consists in incubating the trial at the

Re: [ccp4bb] do you think it is interesting?

2012-06-18 Thread Emmanuel Saridakis
Of course, oligomer (pure Greek) usually does that kind of job, but not in this specific case, since oligo means few and in this case we have endless chains. I can only think of the neologism myriomer for this particular case, if you want to stick to Greek. Myrioi can mean 1 or countless,

Hi Joy, Yes, I agree that it is very difficult to distinguish those and it is even more difficult to put it in words or in writing: experts have been talking about shininess, transparency (rather than brown colour) and birefringence as far as I know. All these methods have some grain of truth

Dear Andre, Yes, hollow crystals are not very uncommon. We have recently also solved a structure at very high resolution using long hollow crystals. Initially the walls were very thin; we managed to make them thicker (and the hole correspondingly smaller) by standard fine-tuning of conditions.
