Thank you. Forget to mention, no diffraction observed no matter with or without cyro cooling. 寄件人﹕ "tom.p...@csiro.au" 收件人﹕ theif...@yahoo.com.hk 傳送日期﹕ 2010/4/19 (一) 11:29:38 AM 主題: RE: [ccp4bb] Re: [ccp4bb] Mysterious Crystals? Hello Tc, It isn’t that u

Yes, I have just done that. They are protein. But if they are protein, why no diffraction? That's intriguing. 寄件人﹕ Jürgen Bosch 收件人﹕ CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK 傳送日期﹕ 2010/4/19 (一) 10:57:40 AM 主題: Re: [ccp4bb] Mysterious Crystals? Fish and wash some crystals then ru

Fish and wash some crystals then run them on a SDS-gel, then you will know for sure if it's protein or not. Jürgen On Apr 18, 2010, at 10:46 PM, tat cheung cheng wrote: > Hi all, > > I have got some crystals, the purified protein was in Tris buffer with 300mM > NaCl for crystallization. they

Hi all, I have got some crystals, the purified protein was in Tris buffer with 300mM NaCl for crystallization. they grew in light weight PEG, PEG400 or monomethyl ethyl PEG500, they were needle shaped, could be long (~0.2mm) but very thin all the time and sometimes grew into sea-urchin like ne

2010-04-18 Thread Jürgen Bosch
Dear CCP4bb, I'm running into some difficulties with Pymol, in particular I want to visualize via APBS the electrostatic surface of the protein, a protein peptide and an inhibitor molecule. I can render the electrostatic surfaces for each of them separately but I fail to show individual surface

Dear Frances, You set a brilliant example. I spent the last three days stuck in UK after the BCA meeting and hotels are really not cheap if you don't want to be there in the first place. Staying at a fellow-scientist's home may be much more interesting. That said, I managed to get a seat on the
