Hi Saif, If your goal is to perform co-crystallization, I am completely agreed with David's suggestions. Delta Tm does matter in the co-crystallization but that's not always the case. I have some experience with protein complexes where I successfully co-crystallized by using really high molar rat

Hi Lumbini, There are couple of queries I have before commenting on this issue. 1) how many Cysteine residues are there in your protein 2) have you calculated their solvent accessible surface area ? 3) What is the final concentration of Sodium dithionite ? Cysteine is highly prone to get thiol

Is that positive density lying at the symmetry axis ? please check, if yes then probably you have to model the appropriate compound with appropriate occupancy. Best Prem On Fri, Jan 26, 2018 at 11:10 PM, Vivoli, Mirella wrote: > Hi Tristan! > Definitely PEG, in the so called horseshoe shape.

Hello Wei, There is a simple way of assessing the Biphenyl in your condition is as follows: 1) You can take you concentrated mother liquor (given: if you are sure no aromatic compound is available in ML) and take a absorption spectra at wavelength range of 200-300, if you get a maxima at near about
