Hi Kumar, 1) While you contemplate other ideas, have you tried the following already? - microseeding or macroseeding with the tiny crystals you have? - crystallization using sitting drop vapour diffusion under oil? Often, one gets a burst of nucleation with several tiny crystals. Not sure if thi

Kumar and Joe- I'm not sure if this helps but I always purified my oligos prior to crystallization. Originally, I would order them with the trityl-group on and purify then on a reverse phase HPLC column and used TFA to cleave on column. Although towards the end of the project, I just ordered the

Dear Kumar, One often has to try duplexes with many different ends before getting decent crystals (e.g. 18 for one project in my lab, even more for others). Depending on your Kd, you might find that your complex falls apart during gel filtration. How long are your oligos? Gel purification som

Hi Kumar, I also have the same issue. If you get any helpful response, could you forward me a copy? Thank you. P.S. Could anyone who has any comments or suggestions on this issue also forward the response to ccp4bb? Thank you in advance. Best, Joe On 7/16/07, bputcha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hi, I am trying to crystallize a protein-DNA complex. I purify the protein finally using gel filtration. I purchase single stranded complementary oligos (desalting from idtdna.com), mix them up and make DNA duplex by heating to 95 degree C and cooling to room temperature. I mix protein and DNA,
