HI Jiyong,
If you still have protein left, you may try to sequence it. In some cases,
even N-terminal digestion is very helpful. In my previous, I always got a
90KDa protein, which was very close to my target kinase. Based on the
protein sequencing, we identified it was one of those chaperones.

Dear Pedro Matias,
Thanks for you advice.
After I manually changed the side chain of the residues, I got a "artificial"
primary structure. I did a blast by using this primary structure.
Finally, I found the amino acid sequence of this protein. The electron density
could perfectly match the
To keep this thread on topic - there is no Blue Stone on the Galveston island.
Lots of white sand beaches, lots of black birds, lots of new BMW cars in the
port (they unload the ship here), a few oil rigs, an occasional cruise ship,
but no Blue Stone…

I wonder why you assume know there are "about 20 point mutation sites” if "this
protein is an unknown protein”.
It looks like you are comparing the sequence of a protein you do not know what
it is to the sequence of a protein you dont really know what it is (1).
I would consider it more likely,
Hi Jiyong,
Try running the FITMUNK server in the sequencing mode:

In this case you know the protein is closely relaed to whatefer contaminer
found, and you have good sequence data, so I agree the next step is blast.
Maybe it is an isozyme of the structure used.
In cases where you solve an unknown by heavy atom derivatives and have no idea
what it is; and the

Hello,
Welcome to the club of unexpected results!
You don't provide a lot of background, but based on what you wrote you can:
1. Do a BLAST search using a known part of your sequence to find whether
this sequence has been deposited.
2. Assign the different residues based on the chemical environ
Dear CCP4bb,
In 2014, I collected a high quality data set from a crystal. But I could not
solve the structure of that crystal because this protein is a contaminate.
Recently, I used StruBE's Contaminer and fortunately got the solution. Thanks
