Re: [ccp4bb] Difficult purification with imac columns

2017-09-15 Thread Gianluca Cioci
Dear Narayanan Which kind of resin are you using ? In my lab we work with proteins that bind dextran which is often used as crosslinker in chromatography resins. Crosslinked resins have a highly reticulated structure made of sugars that can be quite similar to peptidoglycan... As a test, you

[ccp4bb] High R/Rfree after MR

2017-10-13 Thread Gianluca Cioci
Dear All, I am trying to refine a structure at 3.3A. Model has 60% identity to the target. Maps look OK (for 3.3A) and rebuilding in Coot is relatively straightforward. However, after some rebuilding cycles the R factors are stuck at 0.37/0.39 (REFMAC). XTRIAGE tells me that everything is normal

2017-08-22 Thread Gianluca Cioci
Dear All, I think this topics has been already treated many times but, knowing that the majority of structures in the pdb have a DPI around ~0.15 I would like to know what is the consensus value that is commonly defined as "acceptable", especially for low resolution structures (3.5A which could

Re: [ccp4bb] the purification process of protein, used for crystallization

2017-11-17 Thread Gianluca Cioci
Dear All The ion exchange has the great advantage ,over other tecniques, to concentrate the protein. Histrap+sec is a big classic in protein purification but times it is worth considering other schemes. Why doing a SEC? It is for removing aggregates or a contaminant ? It the latter case probably

Re: [ccp4bb] Structure of dextran sulfate

2018-02-28 Thread Gianluca Cioci
Hi, Pure dextrans are linear alpha16 linked. Branched or not depends on the enzyme (dextransucrase) that has been used to synthesize it. If branching occurs this will be mostly on the alpha13. Sulfation can occur on some or all the free hydroxyls groups. Best regards Gia Il 28 Feb 2018 16:47,
