Re: [ccp4bb] Is there any alternative to siliconized glass coverslips for crystallization?

Long back we used Prosil solution (I think, 1% solution) for siliconization. Mathews -Original Message- From: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK] On Behalf Of Goldman, Adrian Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2019 8:43 AM To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] Is

Hi Christine, Another minor point (mainly for hanging drops) not mentioned in the messages. When you bring the crystallization tray from lower temperature to room temp. there is a possibility for condensation and slowly droplets near the protein drops gets absorbed into the protein drop. If

One small point: Just make sure that you are not too off from the contents of the protein solution.  Sometimes protein solution may have a high amount of salt or things like that and we forget to include atleast half of this concentration into the cryo solution. This could easily crack the

Hi Jacob, Once I had an issue with introuding CO2 into crystals and I was able to get it bound by putting a small piece of dry ice into the well solution and keeping the drop under CO2 pressure using nextal trays with screw cap. Please note in this case CO2 didn't get bound by using pressure

Dear Jobi, See if you can slowly increase the PEG concentration to 28 - 30% and that will be a good cryo. Since BIS Tris Propane is the buffer, I think, 28% 3350 should work fine. If the crystals crack by going straight to 28% PEG 3350, 0.1M Bis Tris Propane pH:6.5, 0.2M Potassium thiocyanate

Hi Katherine, We had a case where we used saturating amounts of NaCl and precipitated the protein to get rid of a very tight binding ligand (Structure, 11, 677-690, 2003; look at the preparation of the apoenzyme section). Regards, Mathews -Original Message- From: CCP4 bulletin board
