Re: [ccp4bb] Selfrotation problem for the experts

It's a very interesting crystallographic and likely biological problem. These patterns--a series of peaks along the axes of the Chi=180 plot, with the peaks corresponding to a great circle in polar (3D) space--indicate 2 back-to-back rings. On each great circle (each line of peaks on the

Hello, has anyone in the UK a source for the little (~5 mm) clips that go on the side of unipucks? Molecular Dimensions don't get back to me..I could order from the USA, but it is a lot of bother and I'm too stingy to pay silly shipping costs...I only need one, but more than happy to buy a few if

Dear Rakesh, Congratulations that you have crystals in the first place! I am sure you will hear this from others as well, but you did not tell us how you tested your crystals for diffraction. It is not uncommon that crystals diffract beautifully in their native environment of the crystallisation

2021-07-28 Thread Schreuder, Herman /DE
Hi Rakesh, The first question I have is: why do the crystals dissolve after some time? Did you use a ligand for crystallization that might be turned-over by the protein? What I would do first in your case is to try to find a stabilizing buffer. Since you have obtained nice-looking crystals,
