Re: [ccp4bb] sulfur sad phasing

2009-11-12 Thread Biadene, Marianna
Dear bb, we actually solved quite a lot of structure with S-SAD on in-house systems with Cu radiation. Of course it is very difficult to give absolute numbers in term of S atoms per number of residues since the success of a SAD experiment strongly depends on the quality of the crystal and the

[ccp4bb] small molecule soaking screening

2009-11-12 Thread Rongjin Guan
Hi All Sorry that this is a non-ccp4 question, but I hope I can get some good suggestions from the community. We have protein crystals under various conditons and want to soak them with different potential inhibitors. Most of inhibitors have very small molecular weights (200-300), so it

Hello Jan, I stored intact IgGs as an ammonium sulfate cut at 4C with a little azide for several months with no problems, but I can't recall ever trying long-term storage of the Fabs. Good luck. -Anna On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 8:52 AM, Jan Rash jan...@googlemail.com wrote: Dear All, Does any

Rongjin, (As you may know) there is considerable precedent for soaking mixtures of small fragments into crystals. If you choose compounds to be shaped differently, you can determine which compound is bound by the shape of the electron density map for the ligand. I would not be concerned about

Hi, 1. You can learn about compound binding using methods orthogonal to X-ray (i.e. SPR, NMR, and so forth). If the sole detection method available to you is X-ray then you should expect to need a reasonably complete dataset in order to determine binding - otherwise you can easily miss binding
