Hi all: I am trying to purify a protein that was expressed in a baculovirus system. The protein elutes in the flow through in a DE52 column. Further gel filtration gives an enriched protein but we see that some medium components tag along (weight and activity data do not match). Another mutant

Wouldnt it be easier (in case anyone didnt suggest it yet) to look at the parity analysis from e.g. dataman or probably phenix.xtriage to tell you if you have pseudosymmetry (if you processed it in P212121) -- in C1 you obvioulsy already assume _real_ centering. visually inspecting maybe bi

Hi I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but if you use "hklview" to view the mtz file (assuming you're working in ccp4- land), you can probably get a better handle on the systematic absences than by looking at the original images. I'm told there are other tools available to exami

Its may be an interesting question of pseudosymmetry. The best thing would be to find a local mentor who could have a good hands-on look, but here are some thoughts: >From the space group tables you will see that P212121 has half as many >asymmetric units as C2221, and C2221 has crystallograph

We did something like this with esprit. You get the sequence alignments from Psiblast or whatever you fancy, then edit in the structural alignment into the txt file it generates. Messy but successful.. Eleanor On 12/01/2010 03:44 PM, Gerard DVD Kleywegt wrote: This was one of the things that

It is not at all unusual for a biological homodimer to sit on a crystallographic two-fold symmetry axis. It is also not unusual for such a dimer to sit entirely in the asymmetric unit. This cannot be used to identify the space group. The space group is determined by the diffraction data.

Dear Dr. Kelly Daughtry, Thanks for your help. The enzyme I am working on now functions as a dimmer and the active site is located at the interface. In previously published homology structures, there is one dimmer in the ASU and the dimmer has a tight NCS. With C2221, the dimmer formed by symm

Dear all, I am working on a data-set (2.3A) and the space group problem bothers me a lot.The space group of the data-set could be C2221 or P212121, since our protein functions as a dimer, and P212121 gives two molecular in the asym-uint, I think P212121 is more reasonable than C2221.However wit
