[ccp4bb] Issues with Phenix refinement

2018-02-26 Thread Mohammad Khan
Dear all, I am trying to fit Cd in a protein structure using Phenix. However, the refinement returns me a result with DC (2'-DEOXYCYTIDINE-5'-MONOPHOSPHATE) in the validation report and gives me the missing atoms accordingly. When I open the same structure in Coot, it shows me the ion Cd. Also,

Dear all, Thanks for all the replies. I adjusted my volumes and stopped reactions with 8 M urea and 25 mM EDTA. The gels now run fine :) -Mohammad On 05-Oct-2017 7:29 PM, "Phoebe A. Rice" wrote: > Even though the protein should be denatured by all that urea, we find such >

Dear all, I am working with an exonuclease and I run the digested DNA on a 8Murea-20%acrylamide gel in TBE buffer. I use the Mini-Protean BioRad system and cast gels of about 8.6x6.5 cm dimensions with 1.5 mm thickness. I use a 15 well comb. I run my gels at 70 V for as long as 4 hours till my

Dear all, I am trying to measure the difference in polarization upon the binding of the DNA to my protein. I take 1-5 nM of Cy3-labelled DNA and add varying dilutions of my protein to it (100 microM to 1 nM). I do get a decrease in difference of polarization with decrease in protein

Dear all, I am working with an exonuclease by refolding it from inclusion bodies (IBs). I tried various constructs and hosts, but couldn't get it in soluble form. I lyse my cells using a cell disruptor and after solubilizing IBs with urea, I refold the protein by rapid dilution and get an

Dear all, I am working on a His-tag recombinant protein with two domains, which I purify using affinity chromatography. When I set up crystallization of the same, it gave me crystals in two different conditions- one was the complete protein. The other just had the Domain2. Even on SDS-PAGE, I

Dear all, I have added hydrogens on my molecule using the Refmac option in Coot. I now want to remove them. I tried various syntax but they didn't work. Is there a simple way to remove them from the pdb? Moreover, if I do my refinemnets with hydrogens in it, will it affect my results, other than
