[ccp4bb] Protein-DNA complex for crystallization

2007-07-16 Thread Jack Tanner
Following up on Prof. Rice's suggestions about trying different ends and reading the literature, you might have a look at Crystallization of the yeast MATalpha2/MCM1/DNA ternary complex: general methods and principles for protein/DNA cocrystallization. J Mol Biol. 2000 Apr 7;297(4):947-59. PMID: 1

[ccp4bb] SOLVE/RESOLVE Version question

2008-01-12 Thread Jack Tanner
s nonsense. My question is whether anyone else has encountered similar issues with these particular versions of solve and resolve 2.13. I note that in case 3, resolve is dated earlier than solve. Could that be a problem? Thanks very much. J

A Research Associate position (possibly two) is available to work on structural studies of proline catabolic enzymes. The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. and a strong background in protein crystallography. Applicants should submit curriculum vitae, summary of research experience and contact

[ccp4bb] PEG degradation/properties lit source

2008-10-29 Thread Jack Tanner
We had a similar experience a few years ago. In our case, the adventitious ligand was L-lactate, which happens to be a competitive inhibitor of our enzyme. We used using L-lactate dehydrogenase assays to show that several commercially available PEGs contain L-lactate. We also think that acetate

This works on a Mac laptop running 10.5.5. Go into system preferences for keyboard and Mouse. Select the trackpad menu. Click the boxes for "use two fingers to scroll" and "allow horizontal scrolling". Then, in pymol do this: 1. Place middle and ring finger on trackpad. 2. With the two finge
