[ccp4bb] Purchase of Protein Samples

2010-01-25 Thread Dr. STEPHEN SIN-YIN, CHUI
Dear all CCP4 experts, Hello, I'm not molecular biologist and quite new in this field. I would like to know what companies (i.e. Sigma/Aldrich) are possibe for me to purchase purified protein samples. Any suggestion is welcomed. Many thanks in advance. stephen -- Dr. Stephen Sin-Yin Chui

[ccp4bb] Measuring membrane proteins with Nanodrop photometer

2010-01-25 Thread Florian BrŸueckner
Dear all, can anyone share experience with measuring membrane protein concentration in detergent containing buffer with a nanodrop photometer e.g. Thermo Scientific ND2000. Specifically, does the reduction in surface tension caused by the detergent pose any problems? Thanks! Cheers Florian

[ccp4bb] pdb-care co?

2010-01-25 Thread Debreczeni, Judit
Dear all, I am looking for the sugar-validation tool pdb-care -- the glycosciences.de website seems to be down, sadly. Are pdb-care and the other rather valuable glycosciences tools available somewhere else? I'd prefer to run them locally -- are they available as stand-alone applications?

Hi Judit, Thomas Lütteke developed pdb-care and several of the other glycosciences.de tools. Although he has since moved on, I understand he still devotes time to maintaining these services. Last known address t.tuetteke AT chem.uu.nl All the best, Tim -Original Message- From:

Hi, I was in touch with Thomas Luetteke recently about this, and he is hoping to move the server to his current location in Giessen, probably around February. He says that it would be difficult, at least at the moment, to install locally. Regards, Randy Read On 25 Jan 2010, at 12:06, Tim

Hello Florian, We routinely measure membrane protein samples in detergent with much problem on the nanodrop. The concentration of detergent is often many times the CMC . We have found the drop does form quite well as long as the surface is clean. Often this can be easily achieved by repeated

[ccp4bb] Help with MR in P21

2010-01-25 Thread Michele Lunelli
Dear all, I am trying to solve a structure at 2.05 A resolution by molecular replacement. The space group seems to be P21, with unit cell dimension 52.63, 29.43, 104.970 and beta = 95.60. Only one copy of the protein should be present in the asymmetric unit, with 58% of solvent content. The

Hi CCP4ers As requested I have compiled the list of responses I got regarding anions in protein structures. I did not receive a huge number (wrong time of day perhaps..) but I do think that the list below covers the various aspects (specific examples as well as various studies) and was very

Hello Stephen, Of course it depends on what proteins you want. You can buy some easily crystallizable proteins from Hampton Research. Some purified proteins (proteases, lysozyme, calmodulin, etc) can be purchased from Sigma. Or are you looking for custom expression and purification? ho

At the risk of creating another runaway thread, I have spent some time trying to reconcile what Ian was talking about and what I was talking about. The discussion actually is still relevant to the original posted question about refining against images, so I am continuing it here. Ian made a
