Hi Min, If your proteins have cysteine residues, or you could introduce them into the sequence, then you could label the interacting proteins with a fluorescent label, run an SDS-PAGE and quantify the bands with a fluorescent scanner. See for example Supplementary Figure 1C in Fronzes et al.

Donghui, there are several ways to get ORGX ORGY parameters. As Juergen suggested, you could use the numbers from the header or Mosflm output. More information on the excellent XDS Wiki: http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/xdswiki/index.php/Obtaining_ORGX_ORGY Another option would be to r

I think the second LLG value is after refinement. But sometimes I see that the second LLG goes negative and I wonder what it means. For example: RFZ=3.1 TFZ=17.2 PAK=0 LLG=238 LLG=-603 -Konstantin On Wed, 30 Sep 2009, Simon Kolstoe wrote: Dear all, In the phaser .sol file what do the two LLG

Your case might be different, but it could also be a true Se signal from Se-Cys incorporated into your protein during Se-Met expression. Depending on the protocol you used, Se may get incorporated into Cys, especially if only source of "sulfur" is Se-Met. We have seen such signals from Cys- con
