Re: [ccp4bb] Van der waals force

2017-12-07 Thread HERMAN VAN TILBEURGH
jiri, VDW forces are always acting and between any pair of atoms 
the optimal distance (most favourable interaction energy) depends on the pair 
of atoms involved in the interaction, but is a big bitter than the sum of 
atomic radii
all the best

Re: [ccp4bb] ITC data clarification.

2017-12-07 Thread HERMAN VAN TILBEURGH
hi dharma

your ITC data suggest at least that your complex also exists  in solution
ITC never will answer to the question whether this is a “biological” interface
one way getting around this, would be to check the  response of your mutant 
versus WT  in biological assay
ALA substitutions soemtimes are not drastic enough to interrupt protein protein 
interactions
introduction of a charged residue facing a hydrophobic pocket often is more 
efficient

good luck
