Amit Sharma,
I second Tim's suggestions.
The first experiment is the following.
Set up several experiments at constantly decreasing precipitant
concentrations.
Streak seed all of them. If in any of those you can get non-clustered
crystals
non matter what size, seeding can solve your problem

Dear Sudhir,
you have very clear density in the upper right corner of your blob. Just
adding the oxygen and running real-space-refinement in coot should do
the trick.

MiTeGen has a set of soft plastic microtools that are inteded for this
kind of stuff, and I have had suscess using them to break out single
crystals from clumps or fused crystals. You can either load in a
pencil or mount in a base.Also nylon loops. You might need to
have one tool in each hand
I know this is a disputed topic, but is there any reference where
anyone has systematically tested different res cut offs for refinement?

Hussain,

which is the top hit when you google "pymol electron density". Using
google (and not to appear biased, other available search engines) is the
most valuable advice (per word) that you may possible get.

Dear Hussain,
in the electron density example of this tutorial, the parameter
"carve=1.6" is used, which means that density is only shown within a
radius of 1.6 A around atoms. This is usually done for clarity, but may
give an unrealistic impression of the density quality. Here, you should

Probably the only phasing stat that I pay any attention to these days is
the Figure of Merit (FOM). This is because, the _definition_ of FOM is
that it is the cosine of the phase error (or at least your best estimate
of it). FOM=1 is perfect phases and FOM=0 is random phases, and a

This is an interesting thread, and perhaps I should not dive in on such
a heady topic, BUT, I do want to point out my own particular bias
regarding FOM that is not entirely consistent with James' point of view.
In my experience, the FOM obtained after density modification runs are

Dr. Holton made a comment today that got me thinking on the issue

Hi all,
I'm currently trying to crystallise a two domain protein which
contains several structurally important disulfides. We have a high
resolution structure of one domain (~1.4 A resolution), which reveals
quite a few solvent-exposed lysines, some of which are involved in

Dear Oliver,
In our lab, reductive methylation using dimethylaminoborane is regularly
performed, and nearly everything we work on have native disulfides.
Among five or six reactions I've performed on molecules with disulfides,
I have not had a case where solubility or stability was affected.
