Re: [ccp4bb] Off topic: Art Robbins Hydra +1 original software?

2008-09-24 Thread Jeff Christensen
Dave Wright of Robbins Instruments has just gently reminded me that: 1) It's very bad form to include someones email address in a post without their consent, and 2)The software he was kind enough to send me was for the Hydra, not the Hydra +1. I apologize for any misunderstanding. Jeff Christ

[ccp4bb] Off topic: Art Robbins Hydra +1 original software?

2008-09-24 Thread Jeff Christensen
We have an old Hydra +1 that I'm trying to get running to set up crystallization plates. The unit has an automated wash station and a plate positioner. The original laptop that used to run it has long since disappeared, along with any software. Although Art Robbins no longer actively supports

In our protein crystallography course, we succesfully used S-SAD phasing for proteinase K crystals diffracting to 1.58 Å (which is 'low' for these crystals) at our home source. I would highly recommend using proteinase K for heavy atom derivative demonstration purposes as it seems much easier to

Dear BB, Many thanks for the ~100 responses I received - I appreciate the time you have all taken to respond. Here are the results so far, which I will assume represent a statistically valid sample. To be clear though - what follows is not a recommendation for what systems are good! I have also no
