[ccp4bb] CSHL X-ray Methods in Structural Biology Course Oct 15-30th 2018: Application deadline June 15th

2018-06-04 Thread Paul Adams
Dear Colleagues, The June 15th deadline for applications to the CSHL X-ray Methods in Structural Biology Course to be held later this year, October 15 through October 30 2018, is rapidly approaching. This is a unique opportunity to become expert in the use of X-ray crystallography to solve cha

Liuqing Chen, Everything that has been said seems reasonable, but there are always infinite possibilities in crystallisation, so it is more a question of priorities. Do the easy (or quick) things first. If you have buckets of prepared protein then what you will try first might be different than

Probably echoing others but if you are looking at these cryogenically, small changes in the cryoprotectant concentration can have a big effect, similarly pH tweaking can help. Your conditions seem to be very similar to a commercial cocktail and a little optimization may go a long way. That said,

Just a quick note- even if the crystals appear the same (i.e. the same morphology in a light microscope), that doesn't necessarily mean that they diffract the same. Did you try putting some of these optimised crystals into an x-ray beam? Or as previously suggested, try them at room temperature?

Dear Liuqing, It could be good to dissolve the crystals to check if the crystallised protein is still intact. If it is truncated then make a new construct based on truncation. It could improve the crystal diffraction as it was the case for me. Best wishes, Mohinder --

Hi Liuqing, 1) When you say 8Å diffraction - did you test the crystals at room temperature? 2) Change the construct. Trim loops and termini, (re)move tags, etc. HTH, Dave From: CCP4 bulletin board on behalf of Liuqing Chen <519198...@163.com> Sent: 04 June

The point is that *once you have a 3D representation of the RL*, you can map whatever RS metric you like on that presentation and articulate its effect on real space. In case of resolution measures this is straight forward; where it becomes interesting is at other atrocities and mutilations of
