The wiki has also been edited to include the summary: http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index.php/Expression_of_Se Met_labeled_proteins Summary: 1. Protocols for both auxotrophs and non-auxotrophs: DoubliƩ, S. (1997). Methods Enzymol. 276, 523-532 2. Two protocols for semet labelling: http://www.doe-mbi.ucla.edu/local/protocols 3. Another non-auxotroph protocol. G. Fritz says this recipe could probably be made in one vessel for immediate use, except for the aromatic aa's which might dissolve better at basic pH: http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index.php/Expression_of_Se Met_labeled_proteins 4. Original literature source for met synthesis silencing (for use with non-auxotrophs): Van Duyne et al. J. Mol. Biol. 229, 105-124 (1993). 5. Autoinduction semet protocol (allegedly complicated recipe): Studier FW (2005) Protein production by auto-induction in high density shaking cultures. Protein Expr. Purif. 41, 207-234 Jacob Keller ******************************************* Jacob Pearson Keller Northwestern University Medical Scientist Training Program Dallos Laboratory F.
