Re: [ccp4bb] A Problem of my Research Protein

Hi Guohui, Are you sure this is caused by disulfide bond formation? Do you have any reducing agent in your buffer? 5 Cys residues in 30 amino acids looks very much like a zinc finger to me. Is there any evidence for that? Are there any other zinc binding residues, i.e. His in this region? Good

Hi Everyone,      Well,My Research Protein is easily Dimerzation caused by Disulfide bond for many Cys.And it leads to the SEC peak too wide about 5 mL.

Hi Ethan,In my understanding, indeed. Pretty much only 2nd domain solves the structure. When I compare with isolated 2nd domain structure, which is ~half MW, x-tal grown in different condition plus slightly higher res (2.4A), it's the same! Only difference is domain1+2 is 3A with  poor Wilson B

One more remark on the camera correction issue... The camera correction does actually matter quite a bit, especially where it concerns the movie alignments in the early phases of processing, as Tanaka mentioned too. What I want to point out here is that the effect of the camera correction needs t

Just to follow up on this — if you’ve already tried searching for the additional domain with the already placed ones fixed, and that didn’t work, it’s possible that the missing domain is less well-ordered than the ones you’ve already placed. So one thing you could try is increasing the relative

Dear Andy, I few thoughts from my side, but no solution I am afraid: * Your twinning operator -h, -k, l is the standard alternative indexing for P3x space group, which makes a lot of sense. * P32 is a low symmetry space group, which makes MR easier, but this is offset by the NCS. *
