Re: [ccp4bb] Unknown density
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?

[ccp4bb] PEG refinement
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
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 Albert GUSKOV (Dr) | Research Fellow | Division of Structural Computational Biology | Nanyang Technological University Proteos 7-01, Biopolis Drive 61, Singapore 138673 Tel: (65) 6586-9690 GMT+8h 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.

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 -- F.

[ccp4bb] Anion binding sites in proteins
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 -- Albert Guskov, Freie Universitaet Berlin Fachbereich Biologie, Chemie, Pharmazie Institut fur Chemie/Kristallographie
