Re: [ccp4bb] Unusual dataset with high Rmerge and extremely low b-factors?

2019-11-03 Thread Anastassis Perrakis
Dear Michael, Exactly because the B factor is only 8, the intensity as function of resolution is droping really slowly, and thus the I/sigI 4.7 at low resolution drops so slowly to 1.0. I would almost bet you have a low solvent content. The data are fine imo. Best, Tassos On Nov 4, 2019, at

Given that the I/sigma(I) is quite low the high R-merge values are probably to be expected. If the data were stronger, an R-merge that high would indicate that the space group was wrong or the data misindexed. If the multiplicity was higher you could process the data in lower symmetry space group (

Re: [ccp4bb] Sodium Ion Binding?

2019-11-03 Thread Artem Evdokimov
Hi Jacob Not the easiest task... Based on past experience your major issue will be the incredible abundance of sodium ions in everything. So assuming you have high quality sodium free solutions and are willing to work exclusively in plastic, quartz or fused silica - here are a few thoughts: 1. N

[ccp4bb] Sodium Ion Binding?

2019-11-03 Thread Keller, Jacob
Dear Crystallographers, Does anyone know of a good biophysical way to identify or quantify sodium ion binding to a protein, besides crystallography and ITC? Is this possible with SPR, perhaps? Mass spec? Gel shifts? Examples would be greatly appreciated! All the best, Jacob Keller ++

[ccp4bb] Unusual dataset with high Rmerge and extremely low b-factors?

2019-11-03 Thread Michael Jarva
Hi CCP4BB, I have some unusual crystal diffraction data I'd like to get your input on. Almost a year ago I shot some small rods sticking out of a loop, so basically no liquid around them - using the microfocus MX2 beamline at the australian synchrotron, collected on an EIGER 16M detector. The
