Re: [ccp4bb] modeling flexible ends on proteins

Hi,

For loops, there are servers like
SuperLooper http://bioinf-applied.charite.de/superlooper/
ModLoop http://modbase.compbio.ucsf.edu/modloop/
FALC-Loop   http://falc-loop.seoklab.org/   (seems to be down)


If you want model flexible region itself, there is a program called
flexible-meccano.

 | Hi All,
 | 
 | Would anyone know a software to model (just with some kind of random

purposes.

[ccp4bb] My protein precipitates at r.t and dissolves at 4 oC

2012-03-12 Thread Min-Kyu Cho

Hi all,



I have a homotetrameric coiled-coil domain sample with 45aa per each. 
While I store this sample at 4oC, the sample looks clear w/o any 
particles. But when I took out the sample to my bench at r.t, I can see 
there are precipitates (as stack of needle like particles) at the bottom
 of the tube after several hours. Interestingly, when I put it back into
 4oC fridge, the precipitates disappeared and the solution turned into 
clear again.



Does anyone have knowledge of such behavior of any protein? I appreciate any 
information related.

I am using KPi buffer at pH 5.5, 100mM KCl, 2mM beta-mercaptoethanol, 0.02%
NaN3.

Yes, I agree I should check CD melting curve to see temperature preference
of my protein.

 | 
 | Actually, this is a good way for crystallization.

Hi Kevin,

Could you tell me more detail about beta-mercaptoethanol problem?
