If you want to use absorption spectroscopy, it depends on whether or not the heavy atom under investigation have significant absorption at the X-ray wavelength you have at home lab. If that is the case, you should be able to see the absorption and tell whether or not the heavy atom has been inco

Try taking the detergents out of your solublization buffer (that is if you know it's not a membrane protein) and only extract the buffer soluble portion. If you haveĀ a tag try switching the tag to a different terminus. Dr. Paul Kraft Structural Biologist cell 586-596-2770 email: haresea...@yahoo

The most likely explanation is that you have a cracked crystal or your crystal has split from radiation damage around the frame 70. If you had a cracked crystal from the start, the spot overlap between crystals would change when the sample was rotated. In such cases, it may happen that the program

Hi all, I have collected one iodine soaked data in our home source, and processing the data using HKL2000. Exposure time per frame is 5min/1 degree. While processing I have noticed that the Chisq values, cell parameters and rotation change Vs frame are deviating like anything. Please find the p

We use the Millipore Spiral-wound TFF1 and TFF2 cartridges for concentrating 10-20L of insect cell media. They work great, don't cost all that much money, and you don't need the expensive holder they sell. You can use a ring stand and clamp the tubing directly to the cartridge. Our cartridges ar
