I second Tim Gruene's suggestion of SHELXL; it's perfect for this. However, there is a steep learning curve, so I strongly urge you to pay close attention to the SHELXL (and SHELXPRO) manuals. On Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 11:44 AM, Yuri Pompeu wrote: > Hi everyone, > I am trying to show that a ligand

Hi Jacob, As the preceding discussion has illustrated, there are obviously a number of options, nearly all of which will work well for what you describe. As Pete Meyer suggested above, the best language may be the one you already know (I also echo his suggestion to test your code on a small subset

Hi Christine, I'm just now catching up on some of your older posts, so this may be too late too help. For Fab crystallization, my successful protein stabilization buffer contained 20-50 mM MES pH 6.0 or 6.5 with the minimum possible amount of salt to stabilize the protein - 50 mM NaCl, perhaps. Low

Hello Christine, I was working with Fab-peptide complexes and found that streak microseeding (for instance, with a cat whisker or horse-hair) was helpful for obtaining reproducible crystallization conditions - spontaneous nucleation relies on too many imponderables. However, I would also echo Yuri'

Hello, Min. Lithium sulfate is a cryoprotectant at 2.0 M and sometimes even less (much lower than the concentrations needed for ammonium sulfate), so I would try replacing your ammonium sulfate with lithium sulfate, creating a cryoprotectant with 0.5-1.0 M KCl, 1.4-2.0 M LiSO4, at pH 7. You might n

Hello Jan, I stored intact IgGs as an ammonium sulfate cut at 4C with a little azide for several months with no problems, but I can't recall ever trying long-term storage of the Fabs. Good luck. -Anna On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 8:52 AM, Jan Rash wrote: > Dear All, > > Does any body have any clue abo
