Dear Wenhe,

We too have had similar experiences with a couple of other other kinases - CDK2 
(PMID: 21291269) and Aurora A (PMID: 22248356), where both soaking and 
co-crystallization has resulted in large conformational rearrangement.

Best wishes,

Mat.

Subject: [ccp4bb] Structure example request for large domain movement "in 
crystallo" soaking
 

Dear CCP4 members,

Recently, I got a ligand soaking structure to clearly show a large domain (~100 
amino acids) movement compared to the no soaking structure. Although there are 
some reported examples of this enzyme to suggest the flexibility of this large 
domain which is relevant to substrate binding. But it is the first time I can 
see it happen in crystal soaking procedure. In this case, I am pleased by this 
result.

My question is, do you have any other example like mine, where domain (or loop) 
movement is observed in crystal during ligand soaking procedure? It would be 
very helpful for me to relate my result to other similar examples. Thank you 
very much.

King regards,
Wenhe
