I do not think prof Chitta Das understands the meaning of Equal
Employment Opportunity (EEO) in US. If Purdue which is an EEO institute had
followed the criteria of below 35 years age to select assistant profs
then he would not have served as an Assistant Prof today.

 Then regarding Prof. Chitta's reply, comparing 35 years (india) and 45
 years (US) extends it not just to the age, but also to the origin maybe :)

 The agism in the advertisement doesn't do the institute much credit. I'm

 How do we know? So, grow a ‘spine’, if you have a complaint, say it like

 You are not only throwing dirt on such a prestigious Indian institution,

 produce brilliant graduate students, some of which I was fortunate to have
 in my lab.

 Dear Friends,
  
 There is no need to apply to this position, we suggest. It is a
 PREDETERMINED SELECTION, i.e. candidate is fixed and this (advertisement,
 screening, selection board, selection and approval) is just the procedure.
 
 It does not matter whether you apply or not. If you apply and called for
 interview, then you have to waste your valuable time as well as huge travel
 money unless some Big Boss is fixing you to the post.
 Interestingly Indian Institute of Science recruits and carries faculties
 and trains them in such a way that it has become a epicentre of recruitment
 scams across India and it make rest of Indian Scientists/Faculties in their
 path of scams and CRIME. Students also inherit the character of their boss.
 They do not participate in any form of fair selection in the country.
 Almost all cases they select and load many times inferior candidates even
 though candidate was not seen by anybody or interviewed. Similarly they
 distribute various national awards among themselves and within their group.
 THEY ARE NOT ASHAMED AT ALL.
 This is just an attempt of WASTING HUGE PUBLIC MONEY by a bunch of crooks
 who are good for nothing but worst for everything.

[ccp4bb] Confirming expression of a GPCR in HEK293

2010-09-02 Thread Qing Lu
Dear All,

Apologies for a non-ccp4 question. I am planning to express a GPCR in
HEK293T cell line by transfecting with the requisite cDNA for performing an
assay. I would like to confirm the expression of the protein in the cell
line by western blot or histochemical studies. Any pointers in this regard
would be helpful.

Thanks,

Qing Lu


[ccp4bb] Help needed in solving a MAD dataset

2010-05-19 Thread Qing Lu
Hi All,

I am new to protein crystallography. I would like to know the steps involved
in solving a MAD dataset by using the program in CCP4 where you determine
the phases and then obtain the trace. The dataset is collected at 3
different wavelengths (peak, inflection and remote) using Se-Met as the
scatterer. The crystals diffracted to resolution of 2 Angstrsoms and has a
good anomalous signal.

Thanks,

Qing Lu
