can any one help me in suggesting that what mistake i have did in my mutagenic pcr . actually my problem is my primer annealing temperature is 81degree. im using phusion pol enzyme. i have made many trial, i.e., made annealing at 68 and then followed 2 step pcr method and then added 1micro lit

Re: [ccp4bb] Extra positive density seen after TLS refinement?

2012-02-24 Thread Naveed Ahmed Nadvi
Dear Crystallographers, Thank you for your responses. The density map levels were 0.11e/A^3 (3.00 A) for both images with and without TLS refinement. When I superposed the deposited structure I could see the extra density was due to water moleucles that were seen in the higher resolution

[ccp4bb] PHENIX error: No refinement carried out (may need free R flags)

Hello Fellow PHENIX users (and others!) I had been using PHENIX to generate iterative build composite OMIT maps. I was able to perform these runs with automated settings for two of my data. With the third one (1.2 A structure) I get an error. I am pasting a part of the message below:

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear Arun, it's been a while for my last PCR, so take my comment with caution: 33bases seems very long for a primer especially if it is only for a point mutation. Could you trim it down to 20-25 bases? I would cut at the downstream side. Tim On

Dear Arun, I find stratagene method using Pfu turbo enzyme much more successful then using phusion. If you go to their website they even have a tool to design the 'perfect' primer! Happy cloning! On 24/02/2012 10:54, Tim Gruene t...@shelx.uni-ac.gwdg.de wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED

Dear Naveed A Nadvi I think that your results highlight the fact that modelling the disorder/complex ordering of your crystal is relevant and in general, that we should take care in optimizing B factor refinement as a strong factor for model improvement. In this sense I would not relay

Phusion requires that the primers are phosphorylated for mutagensis to work, unlike Pfu. If you cannot phosphorylate them use Pfu as recommended by Charlotte Dan

Does anyone know of a program that will output sigma_a and D values for individual reflections (yes, I know they're usually calculated as bin values)? Or, for that matter, an option to an existing program I haven't found in the documentation yet? Thanks, Pete

Hello Arun: Actually, I am not sure about i couldn't get my desire point mutation. You mean you didn't get the pcr product or you could get the pcr product but there is no mutation. If you didn't get the PCR,Just lower the annealing temperature to 55 degree. And try extension temperature 72
