The (Australian) National Deuteration Facility has issued a call for
proposals for protein and DNA deuteration services. The deadline for
this first call is May 8, 2009.
Deuteration may be necessary or desirable for:
* Neutron crystallography
* Neutron scattering (e.g. SANS, neutron reflectrometr
Hi, I beg to differ. Evaporation rates change dramatically between a
drop lying on a flat surface open to air flow; a drop lying in a
depression; and a drop lying in a depression with some reservoir
solution next to it. We're talking seconds to minutes.
So especially when using robotics to

There is really not much difference in terms of setup between hanging and
sitting drop, especially if the drops are set up on tape. Visualization is
also usually easier with hanging drops.

Postdoctoral Position in Protein Crystallography
A postdoctoral position is available immediately at the Department of
Biochemistry, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences to
perform structural and biochemical research on potential drug target

Drops tend to spread and flatten on non-siliconized cover glass, which is why
people use siliconized cover slides despite the cost. We recently find some
places sell siliconized cover slides at much lower prices, These are not as
fancy as the Hampton ones in terms of packaging, but worked very
We often find results to be very different between hanging and sitting
drops (equilibration kinetics for one may be the explanation). Then
there's the good thing of hanging drops that crystals rarely stick to
the surface of the support facilitating the mounting procedure, in
particular for
I have noticed that a significant majority of crystallizations are done in
hanging- rather than sitting-drop configuration, and considering the
significant extra labor involved in hanging drops, can only understand this
preference as a historical bias. I understand that sometimes one technique
Should help if you use detergents and, of course, they are cheaper.
