my DNA contains a 9-1-9 palindromic sequence,i tried different blunt end DNA,and got two kind of crystal with different lenght DNA.both don't diffract. 2011/11/21 Michael Murphy pn1...@gmail.com Deng, could you tell us a bit more about the DNA that you used? I think you may want to try to

[ccp4bb] detect dsDNA

2011-09-30 Thread zq deng
Hi all, . recently,I got a crystal of protein-DNA crystal.i used silver stainto prove that it is a protein crystal.Does anyone have method to detect if there is DNA in the crystal. any suggestion will be appreciated. Regards, deng

[ccp4bb] off topic:question about helicase activity detect

2010-11-18 Thread zq deng
Hi all, usually researchers detect the helicase activity using radio-labeled nucleic acid. if we increase the necleic acid lenght and concentration in the reaction mixture,can we employ non radio-labeled nucleic acid? Best regards, dengzq.

[ccp4bb] control of nucleation

hello,everybody . due to excess nucleation,I often get many tiny crystals instead of few,large crystals.i wana optimize the condition, does anyone have adivce about this? Best regards.

[ccp4bb] question about zinc binding protein

2010-03-31 Thread zq deng
hello everyone, recently i purify a protein conteining zinc binding domain,and i want to determine its structure.i get the crystal,but poor diffraction.so i try to adding zinc into the protein to optimize the crystal,but the protein precipitate immidiately even the znic is 1 mM.BTW,we use the
