Hi Rongjin, During the SAXS experiment, have you noticed X-ray induced damage on your samples that could explain this? If you are characterizing your protein in solution you may also be able to pinpoint conformational flexibility using other techniques. - analytical sedimentation. since you have

[ccp4bb] SAXS on a coiled coil protein

2010-07-15 Thread Rongjin Guan
Sorry for a non-ccp4 question. We have determined a structure which is mainly a coiled coil motif. The two helices are from the same protein chain linked by a short turn. However, the SAXS data indicates that "this protein is probably natively unfolded or may have very flexible domains and lin
