Hello, we want to use the thermofluor thermal shift assay to screen for buffers that our proteins are happy in. Reading around the subject, I am a bit unclear as to what to be looking for with regard to a stabilizing affect. Initially, we thought, the higher the Tm, then the more stabilizing the

Try the program disulfide by design: http://www.ehscenter.org/dbd/ Its easy to install (at least on windows) and to run. You put in a PDB file and the program will look in the structure where disulphide bonds are possible. It also ranks the candidates in energies. Finally, it can generate a PDB f
