Re: [ccp4bb] off topic: Membrane protein "into" soluble protein

In theory yes, you can fuse the termini to restrain the protein. You could use T4 lysozyme and insert in the loop which they use for crystallizing GPCRs (many references, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25450769). The potential problems are that you have no idea where the termini a

Re: [ccp4bb] Purchasing slides with diffraction gratings for teaching diffraction

Slightly off-topic, and I may have recommended these some time ago on the BB (sorry), but we find these toy turtles very useful for explaining symmetry, particularly screw axes which some students have a really hard time visualizing from 2D diagrams: https://www.amazon.com/Fat-Brain-Toys-FA042-

[ccp4bb] off topic: Membrane protein "into" soluble protein

Dear ccp4bb members, A quick off topic question. I have a protein whose domain structure runs N-TM-receptor-TM-enzyme-C, i.e. is a two transmembrane-helix containing signalling protein. One would suspect that the receptor domain has ends that cluster, and that the enzyme (via homology with know
