Hello,Thank you for your kind reply.In this case that could be either Zinc or Nickel. Sorry, I should've mentioned how I purified the protein complex. The protein is secreted in HighFive cells, to purify it  by its 6xHis tag, I used Ni sepharose excel beads, eluted with Imidazole and then furthe

Hello, do you have any negative difference density for the current position of the His side chain? If so, it may be in two confirmations. Just a thought. Best wishes, Jon Cooper, E-mail: jon.b.coo...@protonmail.com Original Message On 20 Jul 2020, 17:16, samer halabi wrote: >

Almost certainly a metal ion, possibly Ni(2+) if a Ni-NTA column was used for purification. Ni-N bond lengths are typically around 2.0 A. Additional density is probably coordinated water molecules, which should have similar Ni-O bond distances around 1.9 A. It is fairly common to find adventitious

If there is a covalent link, maybe sending a sample off to mass spec would be a good idea. That would remove some of the guesswork. Dale Tronrud On 7/20/2020 9:16 AM, samer halabi wrote: > Hello all, > I have few blobs in an MHC II structure I am working on, especially > opposite to Histidine

Hello, what immediately comes into mind is phosphohistidine, especially since the density looks rather large, but the geometry seems a bit off for that but I cannot judge only from one angle. You could of course try to fit it in and see how it looks. Cheers, Arne On Mon, Jul 20, 2020 at 6:17 PM
