Re: [ccp4bb] Pictures of DDM crystals?

Hi Joe, It is often useful to prepare in parallel drop without protein but with a large excess of detergent and protein buffer: a typical membrane protein of ca 100 kDa will bind something like 100-200 molecules of DDM, If you want to match the quantity of detergent that is bound to a 10

Hi Brad, For DosR, a stable disulfide bond was reported even in presence of 150 mM DTT - was reduced only after Thermal denaturation. see J Mol Biol. 2008 Nov 21;383(4):822-36 Best Clemens Von: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:ccp...@jiscmail.ac.uk] Im Auftrag von Brad Bennett

Re: [ccp4bb] DNA binding protein

You can run a few µl of your sample on a native gel or agarose gel and visualise co-purified DNA by ethidium bromide/gel red staining. If your protein is stable at high salt concentrations (and a lot of DNA-binding proteins are) you can use a high salt concentration (like 1 M) in the lysis

[ccp4bb] Chainsaw question

Hi all, I attempt to create a suitable model for molecular replacement using CHAINSAW. Whenever the program needs to mutate a Proline into something other than alanine I get segmentation fault. This happens if the order of atoms in the proline residue is (N,CD,CA,CB,CG,C,O). Could you suggest

Re: [ccp4bb] {Spam?} quick purification?

Mark, I agree with Artem in that you may find significant differences in the purity of eluants from the 'high fidelity' IMAC resins (I use pre-packed HisTrap columns). You may also want to have a look at the following reference for a comparison of a variety of different affinity tags in

Hi all, I am working with a protein that have 28% similar to my MR template. I have processed data in HKL2000 for one of my crystal and I got unique sol in space group P212121. with LLG 131 and TFZ score 13.5 I have used buccaneer and coot for model building and my Rfee came to 45%. I

[ccp4bb] a simple question: how is redundancy measured?

For a given reflection (h,k,l) how much does each situation increase the redundancy ? and which maximizes the ability to measure anomalous differences? (so assume we're separating friedel pairs here) a) measuring the same reflection again b) measuring a symmetry related reflection c) both

Re: [ccp4bb] model bias

Great that you have MR phases - it will help you identify heavy-atom sites for phasing and perhaps even the sulphur sites will be enough. Poul On 11/08/2009, at 20.33, ManojSaxena wrote: Hi all, I am working with a protein that have 28% similar to my MR template. I have processed data in
