Hi Guohui, Instead of truncation, have you considered mutating some or all of the cysteine residues in the N-terminus? When we did our HAV 3C study, we had to change a surface Cys to serine (evidence of intermolecular disulfide linkage); the resultant variant not only stayed monomeric for longer t

Dear Art, I am the sysadmin, which is bad news since I am much better as a crystallographer... and I was working on a different issue on the same machine the past week. Our institut has a good firewall so I believe we'll be fine, the installation of Arp/warp was smooth after the modification of g

Dear Guohui, Sometimes it can work if you just pool the very central portion of the SEC peak and use that for crystallisation? The width of the SEC peak will also depend on factors such as column volume, flow rate, load volume... You do not specify these in your message. Have you tried using other

Hi Abhik Additional to Phils suggestions, you can use chimera to superpose and render the images right away. For this, load the pdb codes right into chimera (file -> fetch ID), then tools -> structure comparison -> match maker Change the Chain pairing to specific chains in ref and match struct
