Well - it isnt surprising that all your geometry is good at the start. You have fitted a refined structure against a a different crystal form, so the first geometry report relates to your starting model which will not be the true model which fits your new data. Refinement has to push that

Jacob, In case if the hint that I sent yesterday was not clear, below is the solution for the equation Kd=[P][L]/[PL] in terms of ligand occupancy: O=[ PL]/[Po]= 1/(Kd/L+1) You see, it does not depend on [Po] Alex On Jun 26, 2011, at 10:05 AM, aaleshin wrote: The concentration of a

Yes, I think you are right--the somewhat counterintuitive case I was thinking of was, for example, when: Kd = 20nM [L] = 20uM [Po in crystal] = 20mM In this case, even though [L] = 20uM, since [L] is 1000 x Kd, the occupancy should be ~100%, and [PL] at equilibrium should be about 20mM, so in

Hi all Sorry for the off topic post, but given the breadth of experience on this bb, I would like to ask. I need to measure fluorescence from bacterial cell cultures in a 12/24/48 cell culture plate (the number of wells is unimportant). As this is a fluorescence measurement, I require

Hi, We had a paper where we looked at Kd of arginine in the arginine repressor-DNA complex (p. 248-249). JMB,2010, *399*, pp.240-254. Maia Jacob Keller wrote: Yes, I think you are right--the somewhat counterintuitive case I was thinking of was, for example, when: Kd = 20nM [L] = 20uM [Po

Jacob, In the formula: Kd=[P][L]/[PL] [P] and [L] are concentrations of UNBOUND protein and ligand, and [PL] is that in the complex. Since the occupancy of the ligand in the crystal is [ PL]/[Po]= 1/(Kd/L+1), varying [L] around Kd like from 0.1Kd to 10Kd will make the titration of occupancy.

Jim, that's the first thing I tried - triclinic gave similar Y-Chi2 profile. Shiva, not sure what you mean by collecting the same crystal again (thaw and remount?). But I collected 180 degrees, Chi2 seems to correlate with rotation angle. Cheers, On Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 1:39 PM, Jim Pflugrath
