Points to think about.
1) Do your data statistics indicate twinning - if they dont iyt is mst
unlikely to be present
Look at output of truncate ( new Ctruncate is better)
Get phenix xtriage report..
2) SAD phasing - I presume you knw it is P41212 and not P43212?
3) Going to a lower

What are you assigning as FP and FPH?
Can you send the complete command script?
You have set a real occupacy to 1.0 which is not appropriate if FP and
FPH are equal - it should be 0.000
But I await you complete script..

Dear all,
I´m new in the field of crystallography. So please
excuse my first question is off topic. I´m trying to purify a 182 kDa
his-tagged bacterial enzyme. The expression in E. coli works quite
well. After Ni-NTA the protein isn´t pure enough at all, so I tried
several gelfiltration columns,
Hi,
182kDa is large I'd say, but not too large for crystallisation.
Since you are using a Ni-column anyway you could re-clone it with a
His-tag that is cleavable by an enzyme (TeV, FactorX,... - I am a little
out of date about which enzyme is the most favoured on nowadays).
This would add

Hi Marek,
I agree with Tim. 182kDa is certainly not too large for crystallization.
As for purification .
Have you tried different buffer conditions for your Ni-NTA purification ?
Adjusting the pH or salt component may improve the purification sufficiently.
You could try changing the salt
Hi Andy,
where shall I start?
1.) Where is your probe.exe and reduce.exe? These should either be in
your global PATH or in driveletter:\YourWinCootDirectory\bin.
2.) if you want to point to specific probe/reduce.exe files. These
should be given in the .(dot)coot.py file (which in WinCoot is
Hello Marek,
182 kDa protein is nothing special - unless it has huge areas of disorder,
membrane-association domains, coiled coils, or something like that. Much
larger proteins and protein complexes have been successfully crystallized.
With respect to purification - this is where you may want to

can anyone recommend a nice, free software package for analyzing binding

Hi Ed,
A bit late on the subject
I have collected atomic resolution data (around 0.97A) on both bovine
and porcine phospholipase A2 crystals which at
the time of data collection were between 10-16 years old.
Crystallization setup was liquid-liquid diffusion in glass capillaries.
Dear all,
I plan to prepare a protein fused to pelB signal peptide and secreted to
bacterial periplasmic space. Does anyone have a detailed protocol
for harvesting the protein from bacterial periplasmic space? The protein needs
to be in the native state and will be purified on a nickel column.

Dear AllI would like to know whether oxidation of Se entails any problem for
SAD or MAD experiments and/ or how to resolve it. Cannot use DTT or reducing

important).ThanksDr. R.DepetrisWeill Cornell Medical College
Hi,
I wouldn't worry about Se oxidation. In principle having a mix of
oxidized/reduced seleniums is unfavorable, as you'll have less signal at the
edge (broadening). However, all-oxidized Se apparently makes things better

Hi,
I wouldn't bother either. I once phased a structure based on about 160
oxidized Se in the AU (Hothorn et al., JBC, 2006). Just make sure that
most of them are oxidized and do a proper absorption scan.

Hi,I believe it is not important as long as you run a proper scan of the
crystal. Both forms will allow proper phasing.
This is very well described in a paper from Thomazeau et al.

Hi Matt,
Why not check the NEB pMal system manual
(http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/ManualFiles/manualE8000.pdf). It has a good

fusions.

Osmotic shock is OK, or you can try chlorophorm disruption. You can Google
