If you spin the crystal through a full 360 degrees then any given relp (unique reciprocal lattice point) will pass through the Ewald sphere no more than twice. This is because the Ewald sphere is a surface and the relp is taking a circular path. It is either inside the Ewald sphere or

I am trying to crystallize a protein that I am phosphorylating in-vitro. There is no way that I can purify the phosphorylated protein from unphosphorylated one. I tried Ion exchange and gel filtration for separating them and they are not working. Mass spec result shows the phosphorylation at

Thank you Prof Lewis. Its serine residue which is getting phosphorylated. the pI of my protein is around 8.2. So native gel ( around pH 8.3) is also not working for me. I tried ion exchange at pH 7.0, 7.5 and 8.5 but my protein is either coming in flow through or very poorly binding to Q and SP

Try running a regular SDS page gel w/o boiling your sample. Some P proteins run differently on gel due to the conformational change that is induced. I agree that you probably have a mixture in which the P form might be the minor species. I'd probably try to get the IEX to work; given that the

Hi, there: If you just want to know the percentage of phosphorylation, I highly recommend phospho-tag gel. You can buy the phospho-tag, and make gels your self. It's very effective. Shawn Toronto On 2015-01-19, at 1:01 PM, Bert Van-Den-Berg wrote: Try running a regular SDS page gel w/o

an effective modification to your protein preparations would be to add phosphatase inhibitor tablets during all stages of purification. Pierce sell a combination protease and PI tablet that is effective and economical to be added during protein preps. Also you invitro buffers should have

Dear All, I checked the Mg2+ B factor, and it was around 22. So, were the values for F atoms. For AlF3, it was more than 50 for Al and more than 40 for F atoms. I will take care about the occupancy. I hope that will fix the small negative density. When I inserted MgF in COOT using the code MGF
