[ccp4bb] AW: [EXTERNAL] [ccp4bb] Flexible C terminus

Dear Chitra, Crystallizing both proteins together is a very good idea: If you get a structure, it will be an interesting one, even if the C-terminus remains invisible. Concerning the flexible C-terminus: is it the linker linking the second domain to the first one? In that case it might just be

Dear Chitra, There usually is a reason the C-terminus is disordered. Either it needs to bind a ligand to get ordered, or it needs to bind to some other protein. You have to check the literature. If the C-terminus binds a ligand, you have to add this ligand to your crystallization experiment. If
