structural biology (Guskov’s lab), biophysics and biochemistry (Slotboom’s
lab), photopharmacology (Szymanski’s lab) and pharmaceutical biotechnology
(Poelarends’ lab). The position is embedded into Guskov’s lab with the
co-supervision from all other PIs.
The general aim of the project is to study dynamic behaviour of amino acid
transporters using novel photocontrolled effectors of amino acid transport
within the context of our photopharmacology program. The specific aim for
this PhD project is (i) to perform thorough biochemical / biophysical
characterization of transport using in-house developed assays, and (ii) to
assist with the structural studies (crystallization, data collection and
refinement).

and 2)

*METAL TRANSPORT**.*
The general aim of this project is to perform structural characterization
of several medically relevant transporters involved in the transport of
metals. This will include biochemical / biophysical characterization and
structural (crystallography and Cryo-EM) investigations.

Re: [ccp4bb] Unknown density

2013-02-25 Thread Albert Guskov
Dear Pavel,
you should also always consider your cryoprotectant molecules, so let's say
if you used PEG for cryoprotection, there's a very high probability you may
see it in your structure.  It's very hard to say from the snapshots, but
for the patch of density depicted in fig.2 I would try PEG (of course only
if you had it).
All the best,
Albert


2013/2/25 Antony Oliver antony.oli...@sussex.ac.uk

 Dear Pavel,

 Is this density located on a symmetry axis?
 There is quite often a lot of noise around these regions - and it may
 not, in fact, be possible to model this satisfactorily.

[ccp4bb] PEG refinement

2012-12-18 Thread Albert Guskov
Dear all,
is there any consensus about PEG refinement? I'm currently refining several
structures with a lot of bound PEG molecules. However I'm completely
confused now which ligand description to use. For example, a search in Hic
up database reveals 12 possible descriptions for PEG, 5 of them used for
PEG400, but with completely different length ranging from C8 (number of
carbon atoms), ligand ID PG4 up to C24, ligand ID 12P. Other descriptions
are also quite confusable, for example PEG 8K (ligand id PEU) is
C55H112O28, but apparently shorter PEG1500 (ligand id 15P) is C69H140O35.
Shall the crystallography community come up with some standardised list of
descriptions for PEG molecules?
With best regards,
Albert


Re: [ccp4bb] Xenon Derivatization

2011-11-06 Thread Albert Guskov
Hi Brennan,
we did some time ago a kind of  similar experiment, where
we used Xe and Kr to contour the channels within Photosystem II (see
Gabdulkhakov et al, Structure. 2009 Sep 9;17(9):1223-34 for the pressure,
wavelength  and derivatization time values we used)
However before doing this we went the same way you're going now - we tried
this technique with lysozyme crystals and as I remember it worked
fantastically well and we could solve the structure by SAD within few
minutes at the beam line.
From your description it seems you're on the right scale of time and
pressure and according to your table you have detectable anomalous signal.
Are you sure you've calculated your anomalous map correctly? Have you
solved the structure with SAD or first with MR?
Best regards,
Albert

2011/11/5 Brennan Bonnet brennan.bon...@lightsource.ca

 Hi everyone,

 My name is Brennan Bonnet and I am doing my Master’s project on SAD
 phasing of proteins using xenon gas.

 I plan on doing several proteins but first I am trying to get everything
 working smoothly on lysozyme since it is easy to grow, diffracts well, and
 is already known to bind xenon atoms (PDB entry 1C10, 3 sites @ 8bar
 pressure).

 Put simply, my method involves growing the crystals, mounting them in
 cryoloops, cryoprotection (if required), pressurization by xenon gas using
 the Hampton Xenon Chamber and quickly freezing them using liquid nitrogen
 with only a couple of seconds between depressurization and freezing.

 I have chosen pressures and durations of pressurization based on previous
 work which indicates that suitable derivatives may be produced using
 pressures between 1-100 bar and that binding should be complete within
 minutes.  (see Use of Noble Gases Xenon and Krypton as Heavy Atoms in
 Protein Structure Determination by M. Schiltz, R. Fourme, and Thierry
 Prangé for a summary).

 Therefore I have chosen to use pressures between 7-28bar (100-400psi) for
 a duration of 15 minutes.  After processing using XDS and solving with
 Phenix, the results show occupancies 0.1 which indicate no xenon binding
 or at least nothing that “sticks out”.  The general trend is that increased
 xenon pressure results in a stronger anomalous signal and I have attached a
 table below with some processed data from XDS.

 I plan on trying a couple of other things.  I have been collecting at 7keV
 but plan to try 6keV in order to get closer to the xenon L-edges and get a
 better anomalous signal.  I also plan on trying longer pressurization times
 up to an hour to hopefully get better occupancy.

 Has anyone had any success with this method or any sort of “Aha!” moment?
 Help in the matter would be much appreciated.

2011/7/18 F. Timur Senguen ftseng...@gmail.com

 Hi everyone,

 I have been issues with a particular protein. I have been close for a
 while, but yet so far.

 Rather than going from a clear drop to crystal, my protein first undergoes
 phase separation (large oily drops) in which one phase contains most, if not
 all, of the protein. This phase separation occurs within a day of preparing
 the drop. A day after phase separation the oily phase is now a large
 disordered crystalline mass which does not diffract very well. I have tried
 changing buffer concentrations, precipitant amounts, ionic strengths and pH
 and in all cases this phenomenon is observed. I even screened protein
 concentrations to see if reducing protein concentration would prevent the
 phase separation.

 Is there any way to bypass this phase separation, which I think prevents me
 from obtaining nice crystals. Should I try detergents, chaotropes, or other
 additives?

 Thanks in advance.

 Timur

 I want to do cloning of  a 40 Kd protein in pRSETA, and pGEX-KT vector. I
 don't have any idea about protein solubility, its multimeric form, stability
  and disorder etc. There is nothing known in the literature also. Is there
 any software that can predict  these parameters, so that i can decide which
 domain i need to  clone for  soluble and stable protein  purification.

[ccp4bb] Coot save file error under Mac OSX

2009-01-06 Thread Albert Guskov
Dear all,
I've installed coot with fink, everything works fine, except the fact
I can not solve results of my work (that makes it totally senseless
;-))
The error I get is Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to find default local
directory monitor type
Could someone point me out what is wrong?
Kind regards,

[ccp4bb] problem with ccp4-6.1.0 installation on Mac OS X

2008-12-21 Thread Albert Guskov
Dear all, after sourcing ccp4.setup-sh file and trying to launch ccp4i, I
continuously get the following error message: Top level CCP4 directory is
/usr/local/ccp4-6.1.0
Using CCP4 programs from /usr/local/ccp4-6.1.0/bin
Error in startup script: wrong # args: should be dbccp4i_open_project

Can anyone point me to what I'm doing wrong? CCP4 is installed by default to
/usr/local/ccp4-6.1.0 I've also installed TclTk v8.4.18 from CCP4 download
pages and changed ccp4.setup-sh file (I'm using bash) accordingly.

With best wishes,

[ccp4bb] Anion binding sites in proteins

2008-07-10 Thread Albert Guskov
Dear all,
can someone point me to something similar to Metal coordination sites in
proteins (http://tanna.bch.ed.ac.uk), but describing anions (I'm mainly
interested in chloride-binding sites)?
Thank You,
Albert
