[ccp4bb] Protein precipitating at higher concentration!!

Hi Xtallographers, I have been able to purify a protein that was initially going into inclusion bodies from the excellent suggestions that I got here. So my lysis buffer has 0.5M Guanidium Hydrochoride, 2% TritonX-100, 500mM NaCl, 5% Glycerol in 20 mM Tris-HCL pH 8.0 The problem is that the

In addition to what others have -- correctly -- stated I want to add one more thing: Yes, you are right, if you do not get your hands on a monitor with built-in emitter, you'll need ad least a K4000 and in many cases the VESA din bracket (~$50). You do not have to buy the expensive ($800+) 3D

Hi Ivan this will not be an answer to your question, but did you consider not concentrating 'too much' your sample? It happened few times to me that the protein was precipitating when concentrating for SEC because of the presence of other impurities. Trying the good old AS precipitation helped

Yes, this is great info and thoughts. What I still do not understand, however, is why the noise from air/loop scattering is so bad--why not make sure only the top of the Gaussian is engulfing the crystal, and the tails can hit air or loop? Isn't the air scattering noise easily subtractable,

Hi Tobias, You most definitely do not need a built-in emitter for your system to work. Instead you use the little emitter temple that comes with a set of the glasses http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-geforce-3d-vision2-wireless-glasses-kit-us.html. In Windows, the emitter can be driven via

I have had young ones grow lysozyme crystals in just a few minutes, using eye droppers and petri dishes. The crystals grow very fast, you can watch them grow in the microscope. Also they grow large enough you can see them by eye. Some izit dye would be fun to add (never did that). Then I let
