Hi A great way to learn about crystallographic things (including how to run the programs and how to interpret the output) is to attend one of the short courses that are held around the world on a regular basis, and talk to the experts that develop the programs - CCP4 has one (I

With these trailing mails, I tried to know the optimum pH for E1 enzyme. What amount of E2 enzyme should I use ? If I use excess of E2 enzyme (~ 20 time of E1) I can see only a view for optimum pH. If I decrease the amount of E2 (~6-8 time of E1) I can see a cleared view of the pH profile.

Are the Cys residues in question on the surface of the protein? DMSO (which is in the crystallization mix) is a weak oxidant and could conceivably contain impurities like dimethylsulfide and methanethiol which could form difulfides with surface Cys residues. Or there could have been sulfides

Hi all, I am sorry about this question which I should have figured out earlier. For point group determination, does the Rmeas consider Fridel pairs differently? (although I think it should be...) This is because I saw a derivative dataset collected at peak (from a demo) whose Rmeas is quite high
