I once encountered mold-dependent crystallization of a protein.  Wouldn't that have made for a lively Methods section? Luckily, we determined the structure from crystals derived from a different, non-moldy condition.  Whew. Chad From: Artem Evdokimov To: CC

Dear Kushol & Jerry, I have to take exception to Kushol's contention about SV. As long as the buffer and protein parameters are correct and the sample is well behaved (i.e. not undergoing dynamic rearrangement on the time scale of the SV experiment, not aggregated, homogeneous), one can deriv

Hey, Engin, I saw this instrument at the Protein Society meeting this summer. Looks impressive. Be aware that even though the volume will be significantly smaller, the concentration needed to get a measurable amount of heat will probably be higher (the Microcal rep I talked to confirmed this t

Hi, Phoebe, Sorry to jump in late on this one- but I second Stefan's note here. When soaking dinucleotides (which are poor substrates) into Klenow Fragment xtals, I noted binding both at the active site and at a crystal interface site that is likely nonphysiological. The adventitious site is
