Hello,
Indeed, rigged positions do exist. In places where it is compulsory to
advertise positions but where the person who will get the job has been
selected in advance and is known already at the time the job
advertisement appears. This does happen in several countries worldwide.

I think Fred is overstating the problem of compulsory adverts. There are
also cases where the expected pre-selected candidate does not get the
job as a better candidate appears. There are also cases where there is
eventually no job for anyone. Another outcome of an interview is you

This unfortunately, is a well-known feature of coot on OS X - something to do

Hi,
At the risk of starting another series of rants, and somewhat off-topic, is
anyone actively using ResearchGate? It is bombarding me with email messages,
but I am uncertain as to whether people are really using it or whether it is
just scientific spam.
Hi all,
I'm working on a protein that I recently got crystals of. My functional studies
show that the protein has optimal activity at lower pHs, while losing 90%
activity at about pH8. I've been trying to soak/cocrystallize a substrate
analog (small molecule) into my crystals (grown at ~pH8)
Dear Peter,
You could check your putative binding site to see if there are charged
groups which need to be protonated for your substrate analog to bind (or
whether the substrate analog needs to be protonated). In order to draw
physiologically relevant conclusions, you would need a crystal

I think it would depend if the substrate analog have ionizable groups? If the
analog does not have ionizable groups, it is hard to imagine how the the
titration of ionizable groups on the protein would impair the binding.

As for most questions in science, the answer is unfortunately it depends.
A substrate analog may bind just peachy at a pH in which the enzyme is
inactive, depending on what interactions are involved in stabilizing the

Ca can have a noticeable anomalous signal of its own, if your data are good.
If the possibility to collect new data exists,
If you calculate an edgeplot via Ethan's server:

you'll see that Zn @1Å has about 3 anomalous electrons whereas Ca less than 1,

You can rule out if zinc has replaced calcium ions (although I agree with Nat

taking a few crystals, washing them a couple of times and subjecting them to
ICP-MS analysis, if you have access to this
This doesn't really give a useful answer. It tells you the overall
composition, but there is no means of knowing whether the metal ions are
equally present at all sites: some sites can favour Zn over Ca and vice versa.
Flame spectroscopy also works but has the same issue - and both have the
