If you have found a condition that is yielding crystals, but they are either too many/too small or do not have a very optimal shape, I have found varying the drop sizes and/or ratios of protein:precipitant solutions can make a big difference On Wed, Jul 4, 2012 at 5:33 AM, REX PALMER

Another good trick is to use drop dilution to suppress nucleation. For example, instead of mixing 1 uL of protein with 1 uL of well solution, you can try 1 uL of protein + x uL of water + 1 uL of well solution, where x = 1-10 uL. This will often result in less nucleation and fewer, larger

[ccp4bb] Problems with CCP4MG

Dear All; I have two problems with the visualization program that I am hoping people can help me with: 1) I downloaded a model from the Swiss-Model repository that I have been trying to open on CCP4MG version 2.4.2.  I have it saved as a .pdb file but when it loads, CCP4MG hangs and appears to

Dear Regina, Re. 2) Which program gave the virus warning? Internet Explorer warns about executable files that are not downloaded frequently. This warning can usually be ignored (I got a similar warning for a nightly build of Coot yesterday). If your antivirus program gives a warning I'd be
