[ccp4bb] Merging data collected at two different wavelength

Hi all, I have two datasets, both CO SAD data, one collected at CO anomalous wavelength at synchroton and the other at home source. I wish to combine these two data-sets and use for SAD phasing. Can anyone suggest how this can be done? Regards, ARKO -- *ARKA CHAKRABORTY* *CAS in

Have you tried reverse purification over the Ni-NTA column? That is the typical next step in purification after His-tag cleavage. Or did you mean to say that the impurities elute off with your cleaved protein during the reverse purification? If this is the case, you could try adding a reducing

How to merge two or more runs depends on the software you used to process the images. If you used MOSFLM/CCP4, then you would use the programs REBATCH (perhaps REINDEX) and SORTMTZ to combine the unmerged mtz files (the ones that come out of MOSFLM) before feeding them to SCALA. My program

By the way, I wouldn't use MAD to describe the mergeing of non-isomorphous datasets.  Strictly speaking, MAD is at least an attempt to measure both anomalous (f) and dispersive (f') differences, and I don't think it is appropriate to use the term MAD when you know the dispersive signal is

Isn't it true that we cannot even agree on what MAD stands for? Is the following right? M = Multiple-wavelength. I think everyone agrees to this, although I believe I've seen the occasional (and sometime non-sensical) variant A = Anomalous (I think everyone agrees, although this term should

Hi, Regardless of what the consensus on naming for the technique, I'd suggest you combine these datasets during phasing (I'm aware of MLPHARE, SHARP, PHASIT supporting multiple anomalous datasets during phasing; others probably do as well). Combining at the merging step

Make sure the imidazole is removed before you apply the TEV digested sample back to the Ni column for the reverse Ni step. Sounds like the expression level of your protein is low. You many consider to improve the expression. Those contamination proteins disappear from Ni elution when the
