[ccp4bb] A question on the diffrentiattion of the salt crystal and salt diffraction in the protein metal complex

2013-12-01 Thread Acoot Brett
Dear All,   Suppose I have a crystal hit from the protein-metal complex, with the possibility of that the hit is a salt crystal. When I diffract it by X-ray, I got some metal (or salt) diffraction without the protein diffraction (maybe due to too low protein resolution). Will you please tell

2013-12-14 Thread Acoot Brett
Dear All, When I purified my protein by ion exchange chromatography for crystallization, there were several peaks containing the target protein as analyzed by SDS-PAGE. All these peaks have the same MW as determined by gel filtration coupled MALLS. For crystallization purpose, can I merge

''Signals in the region from 250-270 nm are attributable to phenylalanine residues, signals from 270-290 nm are attributable to tyrosine, and those from 280-300 nm are attributable to tryptophan. Disulfide bonds give rise to broad weak signals throughout the near-UV spectrum. ''

I don't think it possible for protein purification purpose. There would be no linear correlation between A280 and the protein concentration. For pure protein analysis, as for minor amount protein used, it is possible. Acoot From: Karel Chaz
