Just like you would for PCR: - Dissolve the oligonucleotide in water - Heat it to above meltung temperature, pick 95degree C if you want to be on the save side - leave it to cool down. Is this what you are looking for? Tim On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 07:23:07PM +0800, dengzq1987 wrote: Dear all,

I would bring up the DNA in TM buffer (10 mM Tris, 5 mM MgCl2) or similar and anneal under dilute conditions to favor hairpin formation over dsDNA. Fast cooling will also favor hairpin formation, so you may try heating to 95° and then cooling on ice, or using a short gradient on a thermocycler.

Has anyone looked at the kinetics of DNA annealing. Especially for such short fragments I expect hairpin formation times to be on the order of pico to nano seconds. Of course it doesn't hurt to slow-cool but I wouldn't be too paranoid about it. Moreover, in this

[ccp4bb] (i)mosflm indexing / cell refinement

2011-03-17 Thread Bryan Lepore
I seem to have noticed that (i)mosflm can index on one image, or two images that are not related by 90 degrees. also, cell refinement sometimes splits up a set of frames into maybe 3 or four segments of e.g. a few degrees each. and of course, I can set it based on frames 90 degrees apart. reason

afaik Mosflm will index on whatever spots you have told it to find and not discard, be they from 1 image, 2, or 10 or more images at any relative angle or oscillation range. Or it won't successfully index, depending on the difficulty of the case (several lattices, spot overlap etc...). Indexing

We have a very low mileage rotating anode (Rigaku RU-H3RHB 18KW Cu anode, 0.3mm focus) which has been retired for a while now following arrival of an Xcalibur. There are also lots of spares, some new. And a table top enclosure. Free to anyone who is able to come and get it. Trevor Greenhough --

Dear all, Thank you very much for all of information about domain determination! I think the limited proteolysis is a good choice for the domain determination as we have no information about a protein. However, if we do have a domain information by the bioinformatics, how can we truncate the

yes limited proteolysis is the best choice for the domain determination of unknown protein from our lab some people did this. after doing limited proteolysis just sequence digested part N terminally or the C terminally and find out the region from where its getting digested. side by side u can
