[ccp4bb] advances in multisubunit membrane protein

2017-02-03 Thread Fulvio Saccoccia, Sapienza
Dear ccp4ers, I was wondering about most recent advances in production and crystallization of complexes of multisubunit membrane proteins, for instance succinate dehydrogenase, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex or even photosystem complex. As far as I know, many large complexes of membrane pr

Hi I am looking for some literature or the structure of the metallopeptidases where the substrate bound with the ezyme but with shifted P2-P1-P1'-P2' cleavage site. May be some theoretical case study is there. Best Jiri

Speaking specifically for succinate dehydrogenase, there are a number of assembly factors required for insertion of flavin, iron-sulfur clusters (SDHAF1,2,3 . . .). Since E. coli or Pischia make their own SDH, there is a possibility the endogenous assembly factors and co-factors would work with t

Hi, Sorry for another non crystallography question. Can someone suggest a fraction collector to collect fractions from a CsCl/glycerol/sucrose/... gradient from an ultracentrifugation run? Thanks. Best wishes, Reza Reza Khayat, PhD Assistant Professor City College of New York Department of Che

Hi Reza, Are there certain requirements for the collection of the fractions you need from the UC run or do you just want advice on any type of collector? For just regular collectors, have you tried eBay? I have had success purchasing used equipment from there. A quick search turned up an old Ph

Reza, Almost any fraction collector will do. If you have a pack rat colleague around NY City, find an unused, but working Gilson fraction collector, with a rack (which I surprising number of people use without knowing what the rack is for). In our teaching lab we have about 7 of them we occas

I’m looking at my copy of Terrance Cooper’s ‘The Tools of Biochemistry’ (Wiley, 1977). It identifies two approaches to fractionating gradients. The first is the one Michael describes (allowing the liquid to drip out of the bottom). The other is to pierce the bottom of the tube, and then pump a v
