CCP4-ers,
I am writing to alert the CCP4 community that I will be
co-organizing (under the auspices of the Council on Undergraduate
Research) a session at the 2012 American Crystallographic
Association meeting (July 28-Aug 1) devoted to practical aspects
If you had that crystal saved after earlier collection then recollect a
dataset again to see if the same Y-Chi2 profile is observed.

Hi everybody,
can anybody tell me how crystal contacts are defined? Are there good and bad
crystal contacts? They are the most important interactions with impact on
the crystal quality, but they are not of covalent nature, aren´t they?
With best regards,
Paul
Hi Paul,
While crystal contacts are typically of a non-covalent nature, there are some
exceptions. A disulfide bond can act as a crystal contact, which is a covalent
interaction. A technique called synthetic symmetrization involves the
engineering of single cysteine mutants, followed by oxidati
What about the recently-published engineered DNA crystal:
