[ccp4bb] Increasing the resolution of protein

2010-09-07 Thread ganesh pathare
Dear all, I have a protein with molecular weight of 45 kDa which is part of a multisubunit complex. I was able to crystallize it, which diffracted to resolution of 8 Angstroms. I would like to increase the resolution of the protein crystals by trying to keep the protein intact with less possible t

[ccp4bb] Problems in purification

2010-08-26 Thread ganesh pathare
Dear all, I have problems in purifying a protein. The protein is 38,000 daltons and has a N-ter His-Tag. The protein expression levels are low and as a result I have a limit for the purification steps. Initially I used NiNTA columns with 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer pH8, 300 mM NaCl, 20 to 250 mM
