Just in case you are blocking with BSA, how about, e. coli beta-galactosidase (114 KDa) ?. It's commercially available but you probably have cells already making it in the lab On 26 April 2012 19:29, Peter Hsu wrote: > Hi all, > > Sorry for the very off topic problem. I'm looking for a loading

Subbu, Don't forget you crystallization screen can also be used to find a condition that your protein may be happier in ! As you already have setup a screen of your protein, have a look at your drops again and see if there are any conditions that are clear. If so, is there a consistent theme

2010-10-20 Thread Stephen Weeks
I know I'm late to the game, but for anyone who needs a supported version of libg2c.so for running old code then you need to install gcc-3.4. From the following site go to the jaunty link. You then need to install the gcc-3.4-base and the lib32g2c0 runtime library. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+so
