Dear ccp4bb, I want to know regarding Wilson B value and mean B-value of protein after refinement, In my case there is large difference in Wilson plot and overall.Is it OK to have such value ie Wilson B-value 42 and mean B value is 23.3 ? Also in the same structure I have observed that in a few res

As with all these things, YMMV. In our experience, chaperone co-expression can help not at all, can produce more folded protein or can produce more soluble protein, with co-purifying chaperone. With GroEL/S at least, chaperone release is easy (add ATP) and sometimes results in the liberation of

I am attempting to create a monomer with a cis-double bond using Sketcher, but every time I tell sketcher to create the library files it makes the double bond a trans-double bond. Can anyone assist me with information on how to force it to remain cis? -- Jim Fairman, Ph D. Post-Doctoral Fellow N

Hi Michael, It worked for me with one viral enzyme but did not work with 2 others. In the successful case, I used Takara's chaperone plasmids to screen for the best composition of chaperones. The GroEL-GroES improved the yield of the soluble enzyme, but I got same activity (per 1L of media) as

My collaborator was successful in purifying soluble rat phosphatidylinositol transfer protein in E. coli when overexpressing GroEL/ES. They estimated ~50% of the protein became soluble. We were able to solve the structure from protein purified using this expression construct. We did not expe
