Re: [ccp4bb] Used AREIMOL to judge the steric clashes

2011-04-10 Thread Hailiang Zhang
Thanks Edward! Actually Areaimol works well for my problem. But now I have a new issue looking for some advice. I want to randomly generate some points in the unit cell and make a quick judgment whether it is outside of the solvent mask or not. It seems that Areaimol doesn't help at this point, an

[ccp4bb] O-linked glycosylation refinement in Phenix

2011-04-10 Thread Qiang Chen
Dear all, I'm refining a structure which has both N-linked and O-linked glycosylation. I use Phenix to do the refinement. It works well for the N-linked NAG. I defined the link as the following: apply_cif_link { data_link = "NAG-ASN" residue_selection_1 = "chain A and resname NAG

Hi, You can read the spectrophotometric absorption at 280 nm and 200nm in UV range. It should serve your purpose and provide a decent idea for the amount of protein in the sample. Provided that absorbance at 280nm is given by aromatic rings but at the same time absorbance at 200nm is contributed by

Areaimol is good for determining the contact area from the difference you mentioned. If you want to distinguish real clashes from comfortable van-der-Waals contacts, you can use pdbdist3: http://sb20.lbl.gov/berry/for/pdbdist3.for The two molecules have to be in separate pdb files. You

2011-04-10 Thread Hailiang Zhang
Hi, I have 2 rigid and fixed proteins and want to quickly judge whether there are some steric clashes. One quick way I am thinking is using CCP4 AREAIMOL to calculate the surfaces of each individual protein as well as the heterodimer, and check whether the sum of the two individual surfaces is lar

Hi Arpita You can try QUANTI-iT Protein assay kit from Invitrogen. But still there is nearly 20-50% discrepancy between this method and a Abosorbance at 280. I also faced same problem with a protein, then re-cloned by adding a Trp at the C-terminus. Raj   E. Rajakumara Postdoctoral Fellow Str

Hey, does Wikipedia lie? Also, the reference is to Lehninger's text, although I did not verify it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heparin On Sun, Apr 10, 2011 at 3:37 PM, Dima Klenchin wrote: > >> heparin sulfate has the highest negative charge density of any known >> biological molecule. > > Seem

heparin sulfate has the highest negative charge density of any known biological molecule. Seems to me that phytic acid (IP6, C6H6-(H2P04)6) and inositol heptakisphosphate (IP7) should have higher charge per mass and per volume. - Dima

Related fact I learned recently, perhaps of interest for fellow record-keepers: heparin sulfate has the highest negative charge density of any known biological molecule. JPK On Sat, Apr 9, 2011 at 9:38 PM, Raji Edayathumangalam wrote: > Hi Alex, > > Most DNA-binding proteins has decent affinity

Hi Alex, as you have a DNA binding protein does it have a high pI? If so, good old ion exchange with an S-sepharose column should do it. Cheers James Dr James Garnett Division of Molecular Biosciences, Imperial College London, Level 5, Biochemistry Building, South Kensington, LONDON SW7 2AZ, U
