[ccp4bb] AW: [ccp4bb] surface residue mutation

2012-02-14 Thread alexander . pautsch
Hi Prem, besides trying surface entropy reduction you can also start by analyzing your crystal contacts and mutate residues therein. This was for example investigated in the 90's by GE Schulz and coworkers. Good Luck Alex Dr. Alexander Pautsch Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH &

Have you solved the structure? It's just that you don't say why you need different crystal forms. We had to do a bit of "crystal engineering" in order to get a complex between our protein and a peptide. It turned out to be relatively simple case; visually inspecting the crystal packing (in Coot

2012-02-14 Thread Prem Kaushal
Hi We have a protein that crystallized in P21212 space group. We are looking for some different crystal forms. We tried few things did not work. Now we are thinking to mutate surface residues. Anybody aware of any software which can predict the mutations that might help in crystallizing protein in

[ccp4bb] Problem with COOT and MSE (SeMET ) residues

2012-02-14 Thread Christopher Browning
Hi, I'm just writing to ask whether anybody has experienced the same problem as me concerning mutation of Methionines (MET) to Seleno-Methionines (MSE). When I change the MET residues to MSE residues and do real space refine, the chain goes completely bizerk and the MSE residue (and most of the r
