Dear Klaus, We've had a lot of luck with ethylene glycol and isopropanol, using them successfully in cases where DMSO affects diffraction. Best wishes Richard = Dr Richard Bayliss, Reader in Structural Biology Department of Biochemistry Henry Wellcome Building

[ccp4bb] Measure Cell option in imosflm

2013-02-25 Thread Bayliss, Richard (Dr.)
Does anyone know how to access the 'Measure Cell' function in iMosflm? This function in ipmosflm allowed you to click on a pair of spots, then input the number of diffraction orders, to output a rough measure of the cell length. Any help appreciated! Thanks Richard

Dear Wenhe, One example we have is the protein kinase Nek2. We co-crystallised with ADP and then soaked in the inhibitors. The activation loop was free to move around and adopt a number of different conformations (e.g. to DFG-out conformation). References: Westwood I, Cheary D-M, Baxter JE,
