[ccp4bb] Cryo-EM Post-Doctoral Opportunities in New York

2018-10-11 Thread Anthony Fitzpatrick
The Fitzpatrick lab, a member of the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute at Columbia University, has 5 openings for postdoctoral research associates funded by a recent NIH U01 award to study the structural biology of tau and TDP-43 in neurodegenerative diseases. Situated in the heart of

[ccp4bb] Looking for alternatives for discontinued crystallography items

2018-10-11 Thread Matthew Bratkowski
Hi, I am looking for alternative suppliers or similar items for the following products that were carried by Hampton Research but have since been discontinued. 1. Cryo vial holder. This is a hexagonal, metal holder that can hold 8 cryo vials. It is handy for freezing multiple crystals at once

Hi all, Firstly, I’d like to say I’m really impressed with the volume, speed and detail of the response that I have received. Thanks everyone. Overloads Eddie, Marc, Eleanor, Harry and Misha; thanks to all for suggesting collection strategies and identifying the likely issue. Yesterday, I had

Dear Guto, integration programs often ignore overloads, and most of them know the detector cut-offs. mosflm has the option to estimate the resolution of overloaded reflections from the none-overloaded parts. This should not be a replacement for proper collection of a low resolution data set, but

[ccp4bb] Assumptions on protein purification

2018-10-11 Thread Markus Heckmann
Dear all, Not directly a ccp4 question. I am working on a multi-domain protein with multiple catalytic centres. Purifying in gel-filtration (Äkta) with different buffers gives a clear distinct peak indicating pure protein. We could even crystallise it and determine 3D structure to about 2.5 A.

Dear all Thanks for all the input both on- and off- the list. We shall definitely look into these suggestions further and report again here in due course. Kind regards Sam On Tue, 9 Oct 2018 at 19:12, Sam Tang wrote: > Dear all > > Hello. We recently shot a crystal (a protein with small

[ccp4bb] AW: [EXTERNAL] [ccp4bb] Assumptions on protein purification

2018-10-11 Thread Herman . Schreuder
Dear Markus, I believe the strong assumption in the community is that a clear single peak of appropriate Mw is a clear indication of pure protein, worthy intensive crystallization efforts. Whether it is active is another question and this should be measured. For your analysis, it is not
