Re: [ccp4bb] frozen pellet insoluble protein

2014-09-30 Thread Sabine Buschmann
Dear Andreas, maybe the problem is rather rooted in your expression set up. If the protein was soluble in the small scale test, it is not necessarily the case in a fermenter run. The parameters may have changed so strongly that your protein is now expressed mostly insoluble. To my experience,

Andreas, you probably know all this, but I only understood quite recently. What happens is that as ice crystals form you get brine rejection, the same thing that happens in the arctic when sea water freezes. Therefore you can have protein concentrated in pockets of high salt. Fine for some

[ccp4bb] Protein crosslinking

Dear CCP4 members I do not have any good experience with chemical cross linking, it has not worked for me and I am curious how others have got it to work. In my latest attempt I wished to crosslink two monomers with DSS. The protein is exclusively dimeric according to SEC. I incubated the

FWIW for CCP4 we'd recommend 64-bit Linux. Our 64-bit Linux version is downloaded now 6x more often than 32-bit one. So it's more tested, and for some datasets pointless and aimless require more than 4GB of memory (which is 32-bit limit). Marcin On Mon, Sep 29, 2014 at 02:05:32PM -0400, David

I take it you have the 32bit libraries installed. They are not normally installed by default. Then you need to make sure the app is linked with these 32bit libraries. I suspect that you may have linked to the 64-bit libraries. Adam Hi all, So, I know this probably isn’t the right place,

Dear Careina, First: make sure your solution is completely free of competing primary amines, e.g. tris buffer. Phosphate buffers or HEPES should be used; if you need buffer exchange, do it by gel filtration or extensive dialysis (2-3 changes), not concentration-dilution. Second: Try to use BS3,

Dear ccp4bb, Could someone either provide, or point me to, a list of space-groups relevant to protein crystallography just by space group number? I can find lots of tables that list them by crystal system, lattice etc. but no simple list of numbers. Thanks, Simon

Be careful: the International Tables space group number may be ambiguous. For example sg number 18 may refer to P 21 21 2 or its permuted settings P 21 2 21 or P 2 21 21, if you follow the proper IUCr convention that primitive orthorhombic space groups have abc The space group names are

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think my issue is because I have a QuadroFX1400 video card and I don’t have proper drivers - the generic ones just won’t do it. I have tried and failed miserably to install the proprietary drivers from NVidea, so I’m not going to worry about it. I only use

Hi Dave, the easiest way to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers on Fedora is to use the RPM Fusion repositories. The installation instructions for RPM Fusion are at http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration. Once the configuration files are installed you can install the Nvidia driver as root on
