Dear all, Not a CCP4 question. We seem unable to process with XDS a set of images collected at ESRF ID23-1. Images can be open and processed by other software (adxv, mosflm...) They have appropriate read permissions and so has the directory where we run XDS. We use the latest XDS

Hi Klaas, I had exactly the same problem with opensuse 11.1. I installed the precompiled version of ccp4 6.1.1, so I don't think the problem is related to the compiler. I resolved the problem in a dirty way, simply copying the ccp4i configuration files for arp/warp from another installation of

Dear Tassos, Your assumptions are right, if (1) your dn/dc is accurate, or (2) your machine is calibrated. We recently measured a protein of a similar size to yours, and when a 700 Da ligand was added to the buffer, the measured protein mass was increased accordingly. So MALS can be pretty

I think Dr. Loll has expressed my reasons for my original suggestion. When there are skins, evaporation, etc., crystal catching can be a real pain, and then you break your best crystal... What if you could just go up to your intended crystal and vacuum it up, and whisk it away to the dewar?

Is it possible, as I have heard about some DNA-binding proteins, that it is at least partially intrinsically disordered (ID), which might change the Stokes radius? You could cross-check by SDS-PAGE or SEC (ID's run larger). CD, with careful protein quantification, might also do the trick. ID
