Re: [ccp4bb] please recommend a crystallization incubator

I know of one bad experience with a common refrigerator as it pertains to the freezer.  The refrigerator was great for the 4 deg crystallization trials, but the freezer had a "frost-free" cycle which was destroying protein and chemicals.  The user was keeping lots of their sensitive items in the

Hi - did you express your secreted mammalian protein in the E.coli periplasm? If so, and if the oligomerization state is well defined, eg its a 4mer, 5mer or whatever, and not a mixed population, I would be quite confident that this is the 'true' native state. But, I would only be sure in

Any protein will absorb at 230, and most UV detectors these days can reach that, if you want to follow that with UV. Together with SDS_PAGE of course, this should be good enough to go ahead. A. On May 28, 2010, at 18:03, Sollepura Yogesha wrote: Dear All, I have expressed 30-40 aa region m

In fact, you can put plates in refrigerator. It is cheap and simple. Maybe the temperature is not stable, but don't warry, acturaly, the dynamic temperature is benifit to grow crystals. You can look for relational papers. Of course, you can buy a incubator, which can control temperature from 4-6

[ccp4bb] bug report of SHARP 2.6.0 Sushi 3.8.0
