Hi All, This is a bit off topic I guess. The system I am using is a dual-boot system with Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.1 installed. I am running CCP4 in Ubuntu in a shared folder (File system: NTFS) with windows. Before this morning, everything was fine except that the system could not read

Hello Tim :-) You can try to do this with sftools. It is also an interactive type of program input but you can easily calculate correlations. After converting xds files to mtz, you can try some thing like this : sftools eof sftools_1.log READ $mtz1 READ $mtz2 SELECT RESOL 2.8 CORREL COL 5

If you assigns them to different datasets in Pointless, then Aimless will give you the cross-dataset correlations. By default it will scale them to together first, but you can skip that if you want It might not scale well to a large number of files (OK up to about 10 I guess) Phil On 14 Mar

[ccp4bb] ITC with unfolded proteins

Hello everyone, I have a query for the scientists working on protein-protein interaction. It is known that some proteins exist in unfolded or molten globule state and attain structure on interaction with other folded proteins. Many a times, it is difficult to obtain the structure of these

That is a very interesting question, which I would request the seniors out there to give their insights on. I was imagining that a recombinant purification of an unfolded partner would aggregate which would cause trouble in ITC. Am I correct in this theory? Would love to have more insights.

Dear Stefano, Here few thoughts: You should calculate the amount of holo/apo protein that you get after the column. A ratio 280/450 between 9-12 it will suggest that your protein is almost completely in the holo-form. So, I will be worried about the peak of flavin only if this ratio become

Dear Anita One alternative method to determine the thermodynamics and potentially discern the folding energy changes from the interaction driven ones would be NMR. Advantages over ITC experiments include: determine if the interaction drives foldness, estimate associated thermodynamics and, if

I have done once by using two proteins, one is disordered, the other is very well folded. The result I got is the baseline drift. The baseline goes up upon each injection. The reason I thought at that time is the heat capacity changed dramatically in the system. The disordered protein may form

One of my main concerns is that the unfolded protein itself would irreversibly aggregate and then wouldn't interact with the folded protein. I think DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) should be performed first to characterize the state of both proteins and their potential complex. By

An Fo-Fc map is actually the real-space representation of the Fo-vs-Fc R factor (Rcryst), so the sigma of this map will continue to drop relative to the true electron scale as your model improves and the difference between Fo and Fc diminishes. The 2Fo-Fc map, however, is a best guess of the

At the limit, the microdomain picture leads to powder-diffraction-type spots (rings), provided the block size is relatively large with respect to the unit cell. And as the blocks get smaller, the distinction between changing unit cell parameters and mosaic block misorientation dissolves. I am

Hi Teresa, As Eleanor has mentioned, you should probably check out other space groups. Xtriage gives a lot of great information and many plots to inspect. But, if you do not know what the plots mean and just look at the results that say the twin fraction is 0.48 you can get into some
