Dear Tianlong, you may use Arcimboldo using e.g. a long helix (or b-hairpin) as starting model for de novo phasing. If you succeed to phase your structure, you should be able see if it was part of your protein. Best wishes Kornelius On Wed, Jul 18, 2012 at 6:46 AM, Tianlong Zhang

Hi Narayan My only comment would be that P622 is a fairly uncommon space group (currently 43 PDB entries excl homologs), but obviously that doesn't mean it's wrong - just worth double-checking! Just out of interest what's the CC(1/2) statistic for your highest shell? Personally I specify more

I like the Fisher AB15 meter. Large LCD display for presbyopic eyes, and it will do multipoint calibrations. Most laboratory grade pH meters will do multipoint calibration, however. We typically do a 3 point pH calibration at 4, 7, 10, but you can do more if you like. I pair this with a

Hi all I am working with a small mutant protein which is 56 amino acids long. The crystal diffracted at 1.4A0 and the space group is p3221. I did molecular replacement using Phenix software with all the data (1.4A0) and got a solution. Phenix did auto building with waters and R-free was 0.3123.
