Re: [ccp4bb] Crystallization of low solubility proteins from glycerol-containing solutions

2010-08-25 Thread Mark Del Campo
Hi Roger, I crystallized a protein that started in solution with 250 mM NaCl, 50% glycerol, and 50 mM Arg+Glu. I initially used traditional microbatch under paraffin oil to get crystallization hits (where protein and screen are 1:1; glycerol ends up at 25%). Then, I found that setting up

Re: [ccp4bb] Biorad Profinia vs GE AKTAPrime Plus, for affinity tagged proteins

2010-01-28 Thread Mark Del Campo
We've been using Bio-Rad biologic duoflow FPLCs for over 5 years (we have 4 of them on site). They can also handle abuse and cold room storage. Their hardware and software are user-friendly. It seems the Profinia system is geared toward simpler purifications.

[ccp4bb] SOLUTION: tcl/tk issue with ccp4 installation 64-bit fedora12

2009-12-30 Thread Mark Del Campo
Okay, I got the problem resolved in the following way (thanks go to Clint Leysath): 1. removed the tcltk++ directory that came with my ccp4 download 2. installed Activestate's tcltk 8.4.19.2 from https://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads/ 3. downloaded blt2.4z.tar.gz and the blt2.4z-patch-2

I am grappling with a linux system for the first time. I am successful in compiling the source for ccp4 files. When I start ccp4i I see the normal interface and I can click on the buttons, but the buttons that have menu lists do not respond to clicks. My terminal reports the following: *

Before I place an order for some Izit, are there some other dyes I can use to check if I've got a protein crystal? Thanks, Mark

[ccp4bb] poll: cutoff for high resolution

2008-05-14 Thread Mark Del Campo
At what refinement resolution or resolution ranges would you call a structure high resolution vs. low resolution? I realize that this may boil down to semantics (e.g. some may classify structures as medium resolution), but I wanted to get an opinion from the pros.
