Hi Prashant, You need to go really slow when concentrating, not more than 2000 rpm for proteins that precipitate easily. Your protein could be sticking to the sides of your centricon or precipitating. Follow the manual in getting your protein out of the filter (I believe you invert the filter i

Hi Reza, I had to do this before. This protocol works for any PEG and any chemical to be removed from a solution: buffer exchange into the new buffer you want your protein to be in. There are ways to do that by 15 mL Amicon concentrators from millipore for large volumes, or if your protein is

Hi everyone, Does anyone know how to rearrange chains when looking at a structure in PyMol (maybe it has to be done in coot, don’t know). I have the ligand first now in PyMol and would like to see the sequence of the protein first, then ligand. It is worth mentioning that I did reorder the ch
