[ccp4bb] Crystallographic Software Fayre

Crystallographic Software Fayre At the IUCr Congress 2011 in Madrid there will again be a Software Fayre, where authors of academic and/or open-source software can present their new developments. The Software Fayre will be held from Tuesday, 23-8-2011 until Sunday, 28-8-2011. The presentations

[ccp4bb] Off topic: Bruker Microstar

Dear all, Our group plan to buy a X-ray diffraction system. We found Bruker provide a new X-ray generator called Microstar, which they claim is better than traditional rotating anode tube. Because we did not use Microstar before, we do not know whether this new generator is indeed good choice in

[ccp4bb] low expression and aggregation of protein

Dear All, Recently I am trying to express a glycoprotein in Drosophila S2 cells. However, the expression yield is every low and most of the protein expressed aggregate. I was suggested making new constructs. But I am wondering if anyone here can give me some suggestions to improve it beyond

Re: [ccp4bb] NMR structure of 30KD protein, doable?

Yes it is, absolutely, but i would say it's a size that may require deuteration or other selective labelling methods to obtain the interproton distance restraints required to calculate a structure. The only way to know for sure is to collect some data. I think even solving a X-ray structure in
