[ccp4bb] off topic: the effects of spontaneous oligomerization on crystallization

2012-04-06 Thread
Dear All, I have a 100KD protein which elutes as a mixture of 90% monomer and 10% dimer on HPLC, if I pool the monomer fractions and reload them onto the column, the elution profile is still 90% monomer plus 10% dimer, and the same is true if I do so to the dimer peak. Collectively, there seems

To dear Herman, Thank you very much for your comments, I do include protease inhibitor in the protein sample (I use Roche, which always works fine for me), and that's why I am so surprised to see that it degrades madly. On the other hand, since the protein behaves quite well on SEC --- nice symmet
