Re: [ccp4bb] help regarding structure solution - high R values after MR

2012-06-22 Thread Eleanor Dodson
I wonder if this could have happened here? Some one in the lab has yet again been trapped by a feature?? of REFMAC. Say your MR solution is found to be in P21212 after you searched various orthorhombic SFs, but the input MTZ file has the space group still listed as P222 (i.e. the point

Sonali, How did your MR search(es) fail? 1. Too many clashes? (allow more clashes or remove likely floppy bits of the protein, e.g. N- and/or C-termini) 2. Could not place all molecules in the asymmetric unit? (Consider searching for fewer molecules in asymmetric unit. A partial solution

Dear Sonali - It seems very likely that your original protein (which did not crystallize) was proteolytically degraded over the one year storage, and you now have a fragment of the original protein which is capable of crystallizing. You should analyze all of the homologous structures in the

Dear Sonali have you run any diagnostics on your dataset e.g. via xtriage in PHENIX, or the ccp4 programs to detect issues such as twinning and pseudotranslation. You also did not provide any information regarding the data quality. Processing your dataset via Xia2 from the ccp4 suite could also

Dear Sonali, I think that first item on your possible to-do list is to verify that you have indeed crystallized the protein you purified. We, too, got great crystals once with protein X (100 kD) and noticed that 1) the lattice constants, space group symmetry, and Matthew's coefficient were

Dear Sonali I would do the following things 1) Check your space group. Although rare it could be p2 or even p1 2) Run balbes server and check all space groups (in your case only p21 and p2) If you want you can send data to me to see what might be going on Regards Garib On 20 Jun 2012, at

Hi Sonali, Did you use MBP as your purification tag? That's around 45-50kDa if I remember right. If not, I've had a decent amount of luck using in situ proteolysis to get crystals of degraded fragments. Try a limited proteolysis first overnight at 4C at varying concentrations of trypsin, see
