Dear All,

One of the most efficient methods to change space group and packing without having to change
the sequence is to change the length of N and/or C terminal tags.

An example that I am familiar with is given by the following PDB codes.

1JIZ, 1RMZ, 1JK3,  1UTT, 1UTZ, 2WOA, 2W0D, 1ROS, 1OS9, 3BA0

It includes 1 surface residue mutation, but the rest are small variations in length.

Complexation with any ligand that may protrude is also likely to work.

Enrico.

Subject: [ccp4bb] surface residue mutation





Hi

We have a protein that crystallized in P21212 space group. We are looking
for some different crystal forms. We tried few things did not work. Now we are thinking to mutate surface residues. Anybody aware of any software which
can predict the mutations that might help in crystallizing protein in
different space group, please inform me.

Thanks in advance

Prem
