Looks to me as if you have what we call ice rings, i.e. crystalline powder diffraction. Plus what we call salt, i.e. strongly diffracting small molecule crystal(s). Fred. Message du 20/02/11 14:47 De : Vandu Murugan A : CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Copie à : Objet : [ccp4bb] Strage image

Hi This is a powder diffraction pattern with a couple (or more) of small molecule/salt crystals attached to it (which give rise to the spots). The resolution of the rings isn't right for ice, so I'd guess they're due to your precipitant forming small crystals. If you have a sample with

But this wouldn't correspond to a globular form; 250kDa DNA will appear larger than a 250kDa globular protein. On Sat, Feb 19, 2011 at 5:25 PM, Artem Evdokimov artem.evdoki...@gmail.comwrote: A sufficiently long piece of DNA works OK. On Sat, Feb 19, 2011 at 6:47 PM, Alexandra Deaconescu

If you notice, I did not say 250 kDa DNA. It will have to be a shorter DNA, that *behaves* on size exclusion like a 250 kDa protein. I once worked out the ratio, but don't remember what it ended up being, anymore :) The advantage is that you can get these standards easily enough in a huge range

Dear Harvey Based on the experimental history you provided I would try two quick things in order to obtain additional dimensions for your condition. (1) set up your best consensus condition against an additive screen (e.g. From Hampton). (2) I would repeat your last pH vs precipitant grid
