Re: [ccp4bb] mystery feature near a PLP substrate

2017-05-24 Thread Karolina Michalska
Hi, The Lys-PLP adduct looks like a perfectly happy internal aldimine. I do not see any indication of a covalent bond between PLP and the density in question indicating any other intermediate. Which, to my knowledge, would be rather hard to get accidentally. I do not know distances between these

[ccp4bb] which dimer?

2013-07-25 Thread Karolina Michalska
Hi all, I'm working with a protein that appears to be a dimer in solution, on SEC in runs as 24 kDa, while the actual mass of a dimer is 30. And I am trying to figure out which dimer is the biological one (it is a regulatory protein but details are uknown). The crystal structure gives me a

[ccp4bb] small proteins that do not crystallize

2012-10-24 Thread Karolina Michalska
Hello everybody, I'm looking for small proteins (up to 150 aa) that are known to express reasonably in E. coli, are soluble and folded but failed to crystallize. Can you provide some examples, especially of proteins that might be interesting for a broad community? Thanks, Karolina

You may want to have a look at 3ur7 and 3ur8. I have also another example of a glycohydrolytic enzyme with an N-terminal His-tag sitting in the active site of a symmetry-related molecule (not deposited yet). Karolina On 27/6/2012, Brad Bennett bradbennet...@gmail.com wrote: I think it was an
