There are two different but equally good ways of indexing the reflections in space group I213, so there is a 50% chance that your new solution and the refined structure will be indexed differently, in which case the phases will not agree. Also you can easily improve the experimental phases from

Small angle x-ray solution scattering (SAXS) can also give you molecular weight, though not quite as accurately as the best static light scattering. While SAXS is preferably done on monodisperse systems extrapolated to infinite dilution, cases in which the monomer and dimer are in equilibrium un

Dear Intekhab Let me just add to this that gel filtration is not an accurate method for determination of molecular mass, because the migration on the column depends on the shape of the protein. The following methods can be used to determine molecular mass irrespective of shape: - MALLS (multi-ang

Dear colleagues, here is one cunning plan: to quickly evaluate the anomalous signal of a test data set with a non-interactive script that: 1. solves the structure using SAD 2. does some solvent flattening 3. compares the resulting phases against calculated phases from a refined, isomorphous struc

To determine the oligomeric state of a protein (monomer or dimer in your case), it's useful to use the PISA server. You upload your pdb file from the crystal structure.The server calculates the areas of interfaces (buried area) and deltaG (change in Gibbs energy) upon oligomer dissociation. (E

Hello Intekhab, Your results do not seem surprising at all. It is not uncommon for molecular interactions such as dimerization to be more stable at lower temperatures, and this is exactly why you are seeing the shift to higher elution volumes at lower tempratures. At lower temperatures, both th
