[ccp4bb] AW: [ccp4bb] Detergent/lipid crystal diffraction pattern?

2011-03-22 Thread Stefan Gerhardt
Hi Pius DS_1.png - protein diffraction ! DSA6E.png - surface ice formation and protein crystal which did not survive the freezing !! DSA2F.png - protein crystal which does not diffract, but cryo condition is right ! Psp4f.png - internal ice formation plus some surface ice also protein crystal

Pius, Are you sure that you determined the correct cell. Which program did you use? Usually there are much less spots on an image when a crystal has so small unit size dimensions. To me the first crystal looks like protein. Send it to a synchrotron and process the data in XDS. They can

[ccp4bb] S-200 buffer-based peak shift?

2011-03-22 Thread Jacob Keller
Dear Crystallographers, I have run my protein-peptide complex several times on a GE S200 10/300 in buffer A (below). Today, to make a crystallization stock, I ran the sample in buffer B, and the peak shifted from a consistent 16.0 mL to 13.5mL, which would seem to be ~dimer MW, but I know that

I was always told that gel filtration resins have a mild ion-exchange character, hence the recommendation to use at least 100mM NaCl in size exclusion buffers. Assuming that it is true, one would expect a protein to stick to the resin in low salt buffers. That is the opposite of what you see (your

Jacob, Some protein can form weak dimer, especially in low salt buffer. AUC can provide a more detailed info about your protein dimerization state. Ray On Mar 22, 2011, at 8:23 PM, Jacob Keller j-kell...@fsm.northwestern.edu wrote: Dear Crystallographers, I have run my protein-peptide

Superdex 200 instruction manual suggests a minimal 150mM NaCl is required to prevent binding of protein to the resin. But it seems more to the side of preventing loss of protein instead of misjudging protein size. Nian Huang, Ph.D. UT Southwestern Medical Center On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 7:23 PM,

My 2 cents worth on the stereo-dependent: 1) They have carpal tunnel syndrome that makes it painful to keep the molecule in motion while rebuilding it (NOTE: enough constant mouse-wiggling and you will get carpal tunnel problems if you don't have them yet!) 2) They work on big, low-resolution

There are actually a bunch of depth cues that humans use to perceive 3-dimensionality. Existing computer displays only reproduce a few. Because of redundancy, people can function with only a subset, but it can be a serious handicap. Individuals who are stereoblind can learn to judge distances
