Re: [ccp4bb] Dye for protein affinity measurement

2012-02-08 Thread Vandana Kukshal
Hi,

   -   If ur protein is making strong complex then You can run Native
   page  with increasing concentration of your inhibitor peptide
   and decrease in complex band intensity will show you competitive binding of
   your inhibitor to  proteins.
   -  You can do ELISA... by coating one of your protein ad then add second
   protein and then detect by using antibodies against second protein ... with
   increasing concentration of peptide or inhibitor signal should go down.
   -  if interaction is weak then design a peptide (part of protein B )
   which definitely binds to protein with Alexa , or FITC labelled and do
   interaction study by observing the change in fluorescence. and if
   interaction is there do assay with different inhibitors ...

  Hello Jiahong:

 If I understand correctly that you want to test protein-protein
 interaction or inhibition study in solution, maybe you can try something
 like ELISA to test protein-protein interaction. Or if your B protein has 6
 histag, you can use Ni-NTA agrose beads to test inhibition or binding
 depending on your purpose. And another option (a little dangerous ), is
 using radio active to label one of your protein.

 Thermo sells a series of kits called DyLight Fluor for fluorescent
 labelling of antibodies or other proteins.  They have everything you need
 and they're very convenient and easy to use.  You can pick the excitation
 and emission wavelength.  If you label both A and B (or C) with different
 colors you will be able to see if both are in your crystals (assuming
 crystallization is part of your approach).

 You need only label a small percentage of your protein or peptide to see
 whether the protein is present in a crystal.

  Dear all,
 I am looking for some kind of dye for protein affinity comparison, but do
 not know which to choose.

 I know  protein A can contact B to form a complex,now I hope to find
 something simiar with A to act as an inhibitor to block the process of A-B
 complex formation. Maybe a short peptide, a segment of protein A or even
 some organic molecule.

 Because here is a poor access to ITC nor Biacore, I can only rely on some
 dye to check the competence between A and inhibitor candidates.

 If any one can offer any suggestions. That would be so grateful! Any
 way,thank kind-hearted people in advance!

Re: [ccp4bb] How to add add atoms by Coot

2012-01-03 Thread Vandana Kukshal
hi pretty ,
   Once when u will fit the atom in green density  (+ve Fo-Fc
map) (Green density means there is some thing missing and you need to
model) You need to refine the structure by using refinement program. while
refining the structure program will calculate Fc and then again it will
generate map by calculating Fo-Fc  if your atom is properly fitted Fo-Fc
will go down and green density will disappear.
So first refine the structure and then again see the density for those
atoms.

 After I select the FoFcwt map, I have tried to change the green blob to an

 calculate-Model/Fit/Refine-Pointer Atom Type to add any atom.

 My question is, although the atom can be added, there is no indication

 should disappear if the atom is correctly selected.

 How do you solve this problem? How about the red blobs in the attached

titrate with second protein and  do fluorescence anisotropy experiment to

 Second, we are thinking about getting a new incubator for crystallization.

 side by side u can do fold prediction using phyre or u can use fold index

 Dear all,

 Thank you very much for all of information about domain determination! I
 think the limited proteolysis is a good choice for the domain determination
 as we have no information about a protein.

   However, if we do have a domain information by the bioinformatics, how
 can we truncate the domain? Are we need to keep three or five more amino
 acids in two ends? Thanks.

 Best regards,
 Xianhui

  Hi,
  To start with it would be great if you look in to the secondary
 structure prediction of the sequence using any of the standard servers like
 PSIPRED, JPRED etc. Many more available at expasy site
 http://ca.expasy.org/tools/.
  Whatever construct you finally choose to make just remember the standard
 rule that we generally follow is to avoid deleting the alpha helices and
 beta sheets. You can design your initial primers so as to obtain the
 complete amplification of these secondary structures from any part within
 the protein.
  You can even use the various modules of the following online available
 server
  http://scratch.proteomics.ics.uci.edu/
   to have an idea of the intrinsically disordered regions in the protein,
 transmemebrane regions and disulfide bonds that would certainly help you in
 initiating in the right direction.
 
  Best wishes

  Dear all,
 
Before we try to study the crystal structure of an unknown protein, we
 need to determine the sequence that can fold into a compact and stable 3D
 domain. What kinds of methods can we choose?

[ccp4bb] Fwd: [ccp4bb] use of beta-mercaptoethanol in crystallization

2011-03-15 Thread vandana kukshal


 hi sreetama,

   if ur protein is making aggregates during
crystallization try to add glycerol, EDTA in Ur buffer. R u purifying ur
protein from Gelfiltration column ?is ur protein is coming in proper place?
if every thing is right then u can try DTT and TCEP in ur buffer   instead
of Beta mercaptoethanol.
for one of my crystallization experiment i used 1- 10 mM of Beta
mercaptoethanol.

[ccp4bb]

2010-07-28 Thread Vandana Kukshal


hello sir ,

recently i have collected one data of 3.0 A of a
protein having no sequence homology with any known PDB . 
but 
while fold prediction i got 100 %  identical fold with some of the
protein . 
space group of my protein is P622 and showing 6 molecule
in a assymetric unit. 
the homologous fold proteins are trimer
protein. 
can i run MR in this case . how i should proceed. 
i m
trying for MIR also . 
regards 
vandana

[ccp4bb] multi domain protein

2009-10-26 Thread Vandana Kukshal


i have one query. that if we have a multi domain protein structure to
solve ,and we know about only one small domain of the protein for MR .
other domain structure is not known then how we can proceed. 

is there any procedure to utilize  phase from the solution with known
domain .

hello 



    



i  have 3.25 A data of multidomain protein with 4 individual domain
.one domains structure is already known . and for others domain 40 %
simmilar structure is known . when i am running phaser with one known

other domains but clashes are coming . 



how should i proceed .

hi 

i am solving one structure 



in which after refinement i got R factor=27 

and R free =27.7 

i want to know that is it correct or i did some over refinment 



the Resolution is 3.0 A



[ccp4bb]

2009-10-09 Thread Vandana Kukshal


i am using restrain refmac for refine ment and coot for fiting 

its resolution range is 116.248 -3.00

number of used reflections 20215

the R factor is 27.7 

and R free is 27.0 

and if i am doing further restrain refinement with 0.03 geometry weight 

 R factor is going down to 25.5 

but R free is increasing to  30.5

should i go for further refinemnet
