Re: [ccp4bb] gst-tag protein purify problem

What happens if you load your elution fraction into a size exclusion column? If your protein of interest comes in the void volume together with most of its contaminants, you'd better test a different construct, and that's much more than only changing the tag from N- to C-terminus. Sumo and GST

Hi Lisa, Have you compared your yield of purified protein of soluble protein per gram of pellet,  4M Guanidine solubilized pellet (wash and elute from Ni column with 8M urea .5M imidazole..otherwise the gel with run crappy), and and total protein in the pellet on a page gel?   The main reason I

Since there is a real possibility that it is I2 but most of the crystals are pseudo-merohedrally twinned emulating I222, this is a case where I would recommend keeping the I2 setting with beta close to 90 degrees rather than converting to the more conventional C2 cell. Most modern programs (and so

It probably is I2 (== C2) so it would be better to re-integrate in C2 in Mosflm, as the true beta angle may not be precisely 90deg The CCs and R-factors are not very good, so it is worth looking at the scores for the individual 2-fold axes output by Pointless, to check that one of the axes real
