Re: [ccp4bb] suggestion on protein crystallization optimization from phase separation

2017-04-07 Thread Johannes Cramer
Dear Joseph, You have probably already done so, but have you tried in- or decreasing your protein+DNA concentration? I had a similar problem with proteins that were concentrated too low. I had to increase protein and decrease Ammonium sulfate (precipitant in my case) concentration. Cheers, Johann

Dear all, Regarding the job submission in SLURM from CCP4i, I wanted to add that it is possible for ARCIMBOLDO jobs to do it directly from the interface, you need to specify the path to a configuration file containing the required informations. More info on this configuration file are found here

[ccp4bb] Crystallography summer school, St Andrews

2017-04-07 Thread Tracey Gloster
The University of St Andrews will be hosting a protein crystallography summer school once again this year, which will take place 20-26 August. The course aims to cover the theoretical and practical aspects of protein crystallography from protein expression and purification, through crystal grow

[ccp4bb] Voltage-Gated Structures

2017-04-07 Thread Keller, Jacob
Dear Crystallographers, Is anyone aware of examples of membrane proteins for which voltage-activated and -inactivated structures are both known? Homologs would work too, but I found it difficult to sift through the PDB for this, even searching for "voltage-gated." Any help would be appreciated-

We had a complex many years ago that could sometimes be convinced to crystallize by poking the drops (probably with a hair): if I remember correctly, both poking some of the skin into the drop and pulling some of the oily goo into more contact with the aqueous phase. Then again, that complex a
