Re: [ccp4bb] Protein behaves as dimers in 2M NaCl and as high oligomers with 300mM NaCl

2014-02-27 Thread David Briggs
Hi Tom, Are your protein or related proteins known to dimerise? Is the dimer perhaps the natural state, and are the high oligomers non-specific aggregation? That would be my first guess, knowing nothing about the protein you are working on. If you are absolutely certain that the protein should

Dear All,   After series of trial and even with the truncated forms, I find my protein has the difficulty to contact to form the crystallization, or lacking the nucleation center in the purified protein.   Will you please introduce the domains with witch my protein fused, there will be more

[ccp4bb] Se-Met and disulfides

2014-02-27 Thread Reza Khayat
Hi, I'm sure this question has been addressed before and I apologize for asking it again. I'm working on a protein predicted to have multiple disulfide bonds. The protein is expressed in an E. coli strain with an oxidizing cytoplasm, and is purified under nonreducing conditions (no DTT, b-

I wouldn't worry about oxidation of SeMet; at least I never have. A number of years back there was a paper published actually claiming that oxidised SeMet has a higher and sharper absorption edge than reduced SeMet. Of course mixed forms could complicate things but I would just purify like you

Hi Reza, You have here an example of MAD data collected fromoxidized and reducedselenomethionine-containing protein: It states :phasing power of theoxidized data is doubled for the dispersive signal and is 20% stronger for theanomalous signal at the peak wavelength Thomazeau K, Curien G,

Another good example are nucleotide binding proteins - small GTPases spring to mind, changing between GTP and GDP states and there are many ATPases such as myosin to name only one of many, cheers, Matt. On 2014-02-27 20:43, Keller, Jacob wrote: Dear Crystallographers, Does anyone know of
