I have used both Novagen thrombin & lyophilized thrombin of
BDBioscience(dissolved in 10X thrombin dilution buffer provided by Novagen) in
both 'thrombin cleavge buffer' & others (HEPES pH 7.0, Bicine pH 9.0, MOPS pH
7.8) without adding calcium chloride - all the conditions permitted the cleavge
and if everything else fails including kicking the trash can one could
indeed read the manual/FAQ - thanks Paul

Hi,
Could someone refer me to some papers on using ANS to estimate amount of
hydrophobic surface in a protein? I tried the classic way by STEP 1:
titrating my protein into 1uM ANS till saturation to get the molar fluorescence
activity of ANS, then STEP 2: titrate ANS into protein to get

- the only thing I can think of that I haven't worked out how to do in
COOT is grabbing and moving one atom at a time.

Dear all
A off-topic question - is there a practical limit for overexpression of
membrane protein complexes (about 200 kDa in total)? This includes chaperones
and my target proteins. Can I amplify the gene cluster and simply clone into a
plasmid?
Thank you.
Thrombin works pretty good without any added calcium. We routinely added
thrombin to whatever buffer the protein is in provided it doesn't have a lot of
DTT. Some beta-mercaptoethanol is alright. What is the source of your
thrombin?

Dear community,
I am trying to cleave a hexaHis tag from my protein prior to crystallization.
As I was setting up my digestion, my protein started to precipitate as soon as
I added the recommended thrombin buffer.
My question is, if anyone has encountered this, how well does it cleave without

You can try the free DS Visualizer:

It comes with a free molecular builder for proteins, dna/rna and ligands.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of the respondents to the post.

My experience from comparing conventional (FFT-based) and maximum-entropy-

Hi Francisco,
I'll play devil's advocate, but a measurement without an estimate of its
error is closer to theology than to science. The fact that the standard
deviations are not used for calculating an electron density map via FFT is
only due to the hidden assumption that you have 100% complete
