Dear CCP4 community, I am posting to get your suggestions on a Mac Pro system for structural biology and not entertainment. Any comments will be appreciated. Please feel free to send off line messages if you prefer. My target is a Mac Pro with 8-12 cores and Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs. I will r

Hi Afshan, You mention: The protein prep is same which was using to get the Hits. So how old is your prep ? Was it stored at 4C or in LN2? Do you know if your protein is stable under the conditions you stored it ? How long after purification did it take you to get those crystals ? How old is

Hi Afshan, Have look at http://www.douglas.co.uk/Scaling_Up.htm, Patrick has some general tips on scaling up. Elsewhere on his site you'll find tips for conversion to microbatch, you may want to try that out as well. I assume the screen crystals were not big enough to mount? Flip Op 4/16/20

 Dear All, I have encountered one problem to optimization the crystallization condition manually. Actually i got the good shape and even size crystal in a screening plate. The condition are : 20% PEG 6000, 0.1M MES pH 6.0 whereas protein in 10mM Na-acetate pH 5.7 contain 50mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA &5

Re: [ccp4bb] Need suggestions for protein: ligand ratio for co-crystallization

2010-10-13 Thread Ed Pozharski
Lei, 1. Consider making the complex and then purifying the excess peptide away by dialysis (size exclusion may be tricky since complex may be diluted in the process). 2. Conventional wisdom would be to try to minimize the amount of excess peptide as it may "interfere with crystallization". But c

Hello everyone first I want to thank you guys in advance. I am trying to co-crystallize a 12 KDa protein with a 2 KDa peptide. The biochemistry studies showed the binding should be 1:1 . but the binding is not very strong ( Kd is around 20-40 uM). I am wondering, is there any bad effect of e
