Re: [ccp4bb] Interesting DNA contamination

Dear Stefan,
just saw this after reading post:

Best, Guenter

Pramod,

You already got good suggestions on how to handle DNA contamination in protein 
preparations.

Let me point out briefly that you haven't demonstrated yet that your 
contamination is DNA.

I had the same observation when purifying UvsX. A very persistent and strong 
contamination in all my preps at ~500kb. To test weather it was DNA or RNA I 
boiled the protein 30 minutes and incubated it with DNAase and RNAse and result 
was the same. I concluded it was neither RNA nor DNA and continued as if 
nothing had happened.

This publication is reporting the same observation:

Formosa and Alberts (1986) Purification and characterization of the T4 
bacteriophage uvsX protein. J Biol Chem. 1986 May 5;261(13):6107-18.

If you ever find out what it is that runs like 500kb DNA on Agarose, please let 
me know.
S.

 you add something like 2555 to define the required symmetry operator on
the ssbond line. - the exact format is described in the pdb convention.

But I think refmac does it i think if you as it to make disulphides.

 My question is: How to define a disulfide bond from different symmetric
 units?

Thanks Jurgen,
But there is no space in the last directory, I do not know where it is
coming from.

Its really making me crazy, because I have 0.95 Angs data of a long
peptide, I wanted to solve it over the weekend!!
I have no clue why this is happening
Thanks for your suggestion!

 That might be the reason it fails

  Dear ccp4 users,
 I am starting to solve a new structure after a long time and using my Mac
 for the first time. As all the data has been downloaded remotely into this

 Now I am trying to upload my images into CCP4i mosflm and getting these
 errors.( attached screen shot)

  How do I fix this?

Thanks for your suggestion, Jurgen
I tried xia2 and tried it several times, turning the machine off,
rebooting, using different data sets, exiting ccp4i but every time it gives
this error msg.(attached)
