My suggestions are 1 try complementary and non-complementary overhangs which can form Watson-crick and/ or Hoogstein base pairing. 2. If it binds self-complementary duplexes then try them also. 3. Peg conditions with slight acidic pH are more suitable. 4. Divalent cation salts (Ca, Mg, Mn) in cryst

Hi Xiang. If you are doing in vitro experiments like binding studies then try BODIPY Fluorophores. It conjugates the protein. Advantage is molecular weight of these BODIPY Fluorophores is few hundreds Da. Also, these dyes have well separable absorption and emission spectrums. Good luck Raj On M

Hi Monica If protein is Homo-tetramer then one can expect the identical binding sites. I am also working on homo-dimeric protein which binds to DNA. I used PRISM to estimate the binding affinity through flourescence bindingmethod using “SATURATION and NON-LINEAR REGRESSION and ONE SITE binding Mo

Dear Fulvio Saccoccia As you suspected it might be I4 instead of P4. Since fractional coordinates are (0.5, 0.5, 0.479) and, 0.479 is almost 0.5. Try to integrate and scale in I4 and see how chi-square behaves. Raj On Fri, Jun 7, 2013 at 11:17 AM, Fulvio Saccoccia < fulvio.saccoc...@uniroma
