Re: [ccp4bb] FPLC vs Duo Flow

Hi, In our lab we have background on both instruments, 2 Biorad and 2 Aktas. We got problems on both, minor ones on Aktas, major ones on Biorads, with expensive fixing on Aktas and cheaper fixings on Biorads, but efficient fixing on Aktas and unsolved problems on Biorads. Actually, first Biorad w

[ccp4bb] small-protein EM models for crystal structure solution

2007-07-20 Thread Stefano TRAPANI
Dear CCP4ers I am trying to make a (comprehensive?) list of examples of small and medium-size (< ~300kDa) proteins whose crystal structure was solved by using EM reconstructions as a starting model. Can anybody direct me to relevant articles in the literature? Thank you -- -

Hi, all I am working with this protein that only gives very thin needle crystals (25micron by 25 micron by 100-200micron) despite of various atempts to make it bigger, I am wondering if anybody here has any information as to where I can find a micro-focus beamline that will work on tiny needle cr

GM/CA-CAT beamlines at APS. Go to http://www.gmca.anl.gov/userprogram/applying.html to apply for beamtime. We provide 5um, 10um, 20um stable beam with fluxes of 1-2x10**11. Mini-beam (our terminology) has proven itself indispensable for number of projects covering wide range of crystal diffraction

Hi Peng, I am not sure where to go in the US, but the microfocus beamline ID23-2 at the ESRF is the place that very well fit your case (Please see the two publications below)! Regards, Nazzareno. \ 1: Dimasi N, Flot D, Dupeux F, Marquez JA. Expression, crystallization and X-ray data collectio

Two hopefully useful remarks: a. Most if not all beamlines at ESRF/SLS (and presumably APS/ALS/...) would handle 25x25x200 micron needles without any sweating. b. Don't forget ID13 of ESRF which as far as I know still has the prototype micro-diffractometer built at EMBL back in the 20th cen

very true ...and that even goes for the BMs at ESRF! AT bm14 we have the next generation microdiffractometer (the MD2) that was pioneered at ID13 at the ESRF (which is also in action at SLS, APS and i believe ALS either soon or already) and would safely say crystals of the order of 25x25x200 as ta
