Hi Clemens We normally check in the dewar as normal luggage after we have removed all liquids, we have never had any problems travelling from Aarhus to SLS. just remind the students coming along not to mention movies like Twelve monkeys or outbreak when checking it in. best Preben Dear all, I

Re: [ccp4bb] Problem with crystallization of Se-Met labeled protein

2008-05-28 Thread Andrew Gulick
Consider also the possibility that your SeMet protein differs from the native protein by something other than the sulfur -- selenium. Growing your cells in different conditions may induce different host proteins that could modify your protein. (Often we use rich media for native protein

[ccp4bb] insect expression system

2008-05-28 Thread Yong-Fu Li
Hi, I searched my mail box for possible answers you have given but couldn't find any. The question is about selecting insect expression systems for mammalian or viral glycosylated proteins. There is confirmed expression of the target proteins in mammalian cells. They are secreted into the media.

Hi, It is called Bacmam. Please see the following reference, it is not the land mark reference, if you dig pubmed you should be able to find the first description of the system. BacMam recombinant baculovirus in transporter expression: a study of BCRP and OATP1B1. Protein Expr Purif. 2006

Dear Yong-fu, Why would you worry about insect expression systems if you already can secrete your constructs in mammalian cells? For such proteins, transient expression in HEK cells for example gives higher yields than baculo, is faster, cheaper, you can nicely control glycosylation, easily do

Hi Yongfu, I couldn't agree more with Radu. We had great success in expressing mg amounts of a secreted protein in HEK293 cells (with Radu's help :-) . The same protein was initially expressed in Sf9 cells but with much lower yields. Furthermore, we could very easily generate a stable

None except 8 Se. So either - a) L,K edge far below, or b) K-edge above 12.7keV. Cl fits a) and refines to B-factors close to the sourrounding protein atoms. Thx, br _ From: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Abhinav Kumar Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 8:44 PM To:
