Re: [ccp4bb] long loop

Do you have an inactive variant of the protein? If yes, use limited 
proteolysis in the presence of methylated histones to find out which 
flexible parts are really important and or protected by complex 
formation. Further, try to crystallize a complex of inactive demethylase 
and methylated histones, a long shot but a good way to combat the 
apparent flexibility


Good luck,

Jeroen

Dear ALL,
I want to make a protein crystal,but there is a long loop between 
domains of protein , which contains two small domains owning about 40 
amino acids respectively and a loop about 70 amino acids.
Loop is so long and flexible ,but I don't want to delete some 
fragments,because it may be  important for protein's function of a 
histone demethylase.

Besides, the  surface charge of  protein is whole negative .
I have tried a long time but it is hard to me to get crystal.

Would be very grateful for any advice!

Thanks

It is invariably the case that high resolution X-ray structures show 
significantly better agreement with solution observables such as 
coupling constants, 13C chemical shifts, and proton chemical shifts, 
than the corresponding NMR structures, including the very best ones. 
Hence, in most cases, a high-resolution crystal structure (< 2.0 Å)will 
provide a better description of the structure in solution than the 
corresponding NMR structure  (Kuszewski, Gronenborn & Clore, 1996,

I know that this might be considered heresy on a crystallography mailing list, 
but do you have any friendly NMRists at your institution?

Dear ALL,
I want to make a protein crystal,but there is a long loop between domains of 
protein , which contains two small domains owning about 40 amino acids 
respectively and a loop about 70 amino acids.
Loop is so long and flexible ,but I don't want to delete some fragments,because

Besides, the  surface charge of  protein is whole negative .
