Re: [ccp4bb] how to make the crystal thicker

2013-05-28 Thread James Stroud
I think there are some mitegen loops that are flat. They will probably be useful for your crystals given what you say about the 2.2 Å anisotropic diffraction, which is probably caused by deformation of your plates in "conventional" loops. Some others on the list may have a more specific recomme

Instead of making the crystal thicker, why don't you make the beamsize smaller ? Aka microfocus If this is your cryo-condition then I would work on it a bit more or change the drop ratio of protein:reservoir so that you can use a higher PEG3350 concentration in your reservoir. I would aim for >2

[ccp4bb] how to make the crystal thicker

2013-05-28 Thread 姜艳
Dear professors, I get my crystal in 0.1M Tris, PH7.5, 200mM (NH4)2SO4, and 20% PEG3350, however, it is very thin. From one side, the diffraction is perfect, about 2.2A, but from the other side, diffraction is too bad, the spots look like a thread! Process cannot be done by HKL2000. As t

Re: [ccp4bb] Improve diffraction ...any ideas?

Hi Urmi, When you say "antibody" you mean Fab fragments? If so, bear in mind that Fab fragments can be quite flexible about the region inbetween the variable and constant domains, which may be detrimental to the quality of your crystals ... in this case, further to the advice of others on here, you
