[ccp4bb] N-terminal cleavage after thrombin cleavage?

2008-03-25 Thread HTC
Dear all, Sorry for the non-CCP4 question. We recently crystallized a protein expressed from pGEX4T-1 vector. The GST tag is cleaved by thrombin before crystallization. The cleavage site of thrombin is Leu-Val-Pro-Arg || Gly-Ser, thus Gly and Ser should remain at the N-terminus of the protein

I've used cheap Peltier incubators in the past (when funds were scarse) and they were just fine - with the caveat that the incubators I used were small -- basically they were portable beer coolers with a temperature controller (made by Koolatron). First thing I did was to check the temperature and

That is exactly how it is supposed to work with 10.5. No need to use an xterm, and it sets the DISPLAY variable automatically. I assume you have write-permissions in the directory it is trying to make the .CCP4 directory? On Mar 25, 2008, at 9:32 AM, Kurt Padilla wrote: Sue, Currently

I also thought the problem was using the Terminal window and not the X11 window, but, interestingly, typing ccp4i in a Terminal window, not an X11 window does work. X11 does need to be installed and running, -- that could be the problem. (Caveat, this is in 10.4, not 10.5 - I have 10.5 but ha

Hi - You need to add to your .chrc, or type in an ***X11*** window (and not in the Terminal). source /usr/local/ccp4-6.0.2//bin/ccp4.setup-csh then it will work. it does not really install a real application in the OSX sense. A. On Mar 25, 2008, at 15:47, Kurt Padilla wrote: Wil

Hi Kurt, the CCP4 program package for Mac OS X from the CCP4 download site installs the CCP4 suite under /usr/local or any other path that you provide during installation. There is no such thing as a CCP4.app that can be started by clicking on it. Instead, you have to create in a Terminal

In both cases, you have to make sure you are setting up the environment appropriately for ccp4, unique to the unix shell you are using. In the case of the ccp4 package you compile with the aid of the fink script, at the start of a shell session, you, or your dot file, needs to issue sou
