[ccp4bb] Query regarding secondary structure limit

2013-04-08 Thread Dr. Imtiyaz Hassan
Dear Friends,I have to ask very basic question. Please provide answer with some references.1. Whats are the values for maximum and minimum numbers of residues present in one alpha helix and beta strand?2. Is any fixed (or with some range) for the percent of beta turns present in protein

1) At least four to get the H-bonding.. 2) No - depends on the number and arrangement of beta sheets. Protein structures vary a great deal! You could find the % of residues in protein structures which form helices and beta sheets I guess but there is such huge variation that it may not be very

[ccp4bb] Does anyone have experience with membrane protein digestion by preccission protease

2013-04-08 Thread Qiangmin Zhang
Hello everybody, I just purified a membrane protein tagged with GFP, which has a cleavage site of preccission protease. And I got a problem with removing the GFP tag by preccission protease (1mM DTT and 1 mM EDTA were included in the buffer). It can not cut my protein. I have already tried to

Hello Qiangmin, Many membrane proteins like to aggregate in detergent, which will prevent efficient site specific proteolysis. If you have not already done so, I suggest running a size exclusion column first to verify that your protein is monodisperse in your detergent and buffer of choice.
