Dear all,
The MALLS instruments on-line with an FPLC and with an RI detector,
should provide an 'absolute MW', shape independent,
and indeed in our hands they do well. Until yesterday, where a 21kD
protein pretends to be 25 kD. We did the mass spec

Thanks all for the suggestion. I have ordered the additional salts from

Have you seen the Crystal Catcher system, developed in Japan?

Some of us saw it at a recent IUCr meeting, but I don't know anyone who
has tried it with their own proteins

Tassos,
The most obvious answer (and possibly incorrect) is that DNA itself has a
different dn/dc value and when you say that you have a DNA binding protein,
chances are that some or all of it may be bound to DNA, which would change the
nature of the beast (and the MW). Perhaps you can delibe
Dear all,
Not a CCP4 question.

Images can be open and processed by other software (adxv, mosflm...)

This might be a bit too obvious, but have you checked that the path to
the images is correct? The path written in the input files generated

Cheers,

Hi Klaas,
I had exactly the same problem with opensuse 11.1. I installed the precompiled

Dear Tassos,
Your assumptions are right, if (1) your dn/dc is accurate, or (2) your
machine is calibrated. We recently measured a protein of a similar size
to yours, and when a 700 Da ligand was added to the buffer, the measured
protein mass was increased accordingly. So MALS can be pretty acc
Dear List,
I am trying to install the latest CCP4 6.1.1 binaries on Linux and
running into sourcing problem. I could source the ccp4.setup file as
root (c-shell) and ccp4 ran just fine. But as a user, with the same
shell, I could not source the setup file. The error is "setenv: Too many
arguments"
I think Dr. Loll has expressed my reasons for my original suggestion. When
there are skins, evaporation, etc., "crystal catching" can be a real pain, and
then you break your best crystal...
What if you could just go up to your intended crystal and vacuum it up, and
whisk it away to the dewar?
Hi Jason
Type 'set verbose' (without the apostrophes) and trying sourcing again,
it should stop just before the offending line.
Cheers

Is it possible, as I have heard about some DNA-binding proteins, that it is
at least partially intrinsically disordered (ID), which might change the
Stokes radius? You could cross-check by SDS-PAGE or SEC (ID's run larger).
CD, with careful protein quantification, might also do the trick. ID its

As an undergrad late in the last century, I used a micromanipulator,

operated via a screw) to do just this. It was just about the time that

Jacob,
Although the use of patch-clamp pipettes and micromanipulators come to
mind, I just wonder about what would happen to the pipette and the
fluid in it when you flash-froze it. Nonetheless, the idea of a means

Nothing obviously wrong there (I assume that the capital 'S' in 'Setenv'

What does $PATH expand to? If you had a directory with a space in it,
that would generate the error you're seeing.

try replacing this with

setenv needs to be all lower case, and the double quotes permit spaces

Thank you, Ian, Ben and Bill.
My apology for the S in setenv, a typo.
