Re: [ccp4bb] viewing and scoring diffraction using the PX Scanner

Hi, So what's your secret - how did you pack an entire synchrotron into a little box? OK, so I am being facetious a little. However, I cannot help asking myself why would I want to spend so much money on a system that is basically a (vertical) X-ray diffractometer in a box, with fixed distance, a

[ccp4bb] Ser/Thr phosphatase

Hi All, I am wondering if anyone can point me towards a literature where a Ser/Thr phosphatase was expressed and purified to homogeneity which was functionally active. Excuse my ignorance as I am new to this field and need some help getting started. Thanks, neeraj

Re: [ccp4bb] viewing and scoring crystallization drops on the iPad

I understand you want to use in situ diffraction for assigning scores, but I guess it is still useful to visually inspect drop images before you decide to go to a synchrotron, no? So let me rephrase the question and ask whether users see any added benefit of using an iPad for decision making

[ccp4bb] viewing / scoring diffraction / collecting data using the G-Rob system

I agree with Marcus that the most relevant scoring is the X-ray analysis, that can now be done in situ. Just I would like to mention the G-Rob system we developed for that on BM30A at ESRF, now commercialized by NatX-ray (www.natx-ray.com). With G-Rob, you can not only screen in situ, but also

Dear Chris, I'm prompted by your posting just to mention the Agilent Technologies PX Scanner 'Crystal Challenge' at: www.agilent.com/chem/crystalchallenge Thus, the only really useful assessment, or 'score', of objects (putative crystals) - or c

[ccp4bb] viewing and scoring crystallization drops on the iPad

Our laboratory has been developing an application to view and score crystallization drops on the iPad. We would like to know if crystallographers see potential benefits from the functionality of the iPad to swipe and pinch through drops. We are looking for specific comments from Formulatrix
