Re: [ccp4bb] Tev Cleavage issue !!

Hi Anita, We have had success setting up drops with TEV present. We simply added TEV at a 50:1 molar ratio and then set up the drops a couple of hours later. We went from having twinned crystals at 3A to untwinned at 2A, the crystal form also changed from orthorhombic to monoclinic, all in the

Dear Friends, I want to calculate RSR value of my protein and Ligand . For this I have tried 2fofc.inp through CNS and MAPMAN RS fit calculation but could not get satisfactory result. I will be grateful if any body help me to solve this problem.I will apppreciate your comment.

Hey Anita, I would like to add to Artem's comment that you can also try and cleave the protein at 30c for 2hr and then continue the cleavage overnight at 4c (you should check and see that your protein can withstand 30c incubation for 2hr, of course). In regard to your non-diffracting crystals - you

Dear Kenneth, IMO there is no resolution cut-off to decide to go from TLS to individual anisotropic Bs. I use the number of reflections per atom. You are refining 9 parameters per atom so you need quite a lot. When I have>18 ref/atom I switch to anisotropic. I try both isotropic and anisotropic

For starters, you could re-clone the protein with e.g. just a His tag or move the tag to another end, or put some distance between the end of TEV site and the protein; or perhaps use no tag at all -- or a different one? Is it possible that the tag is messing you up - yes. Is it 'probable' - I can'

Hi Crystallographers, I am working of 23 Kda protein with a Nterminal His tag and a TEV cleavage site. I am getting crystals with the his tag and tev site intact, but they dont diffract. *Is it probable that they dont diffract because of the extra his tag and the tev site?* I am trying to get

[ccp4bb] anisotropy vs TLS

2011-04-07 Thread Kenneth A. Satyshur
peoples: I know that TLS is a group B factor for regions of proteins that are moving the same. It is used in low res structures. But at what resolution does one begin anisotropic, i.e individual aniso for each atom, and leave TLS out. Or can one still use TLS to first compensate for large motio

Yes - that is true. Any crystal might be split, and give diffraction with overlapping lattices- ie show non-merohedral twinning. If you are lucky/careful you might only get a few spots which overlap after integration of one of the lattices- not enough to be detected as "twinning" from the stat
