Hi, I am assuming the enzyme is not active, or by substrate you do not mean the actual substrate, may be an analogue. The substrate might be converted into product and the leave through the channel and you will not find anything bound to it. But I think you have taken care of that. On Fri, Apr

[ccp4bb] Does the substrate has access to the active site?

2010-04-09 Thread Paul Lindblom
Dear Bulletin Board, I am trying to soak substrate into crystals of an enzyme, but so far I can't see the substrate in the structure. Does anyone knows a program to ensure that the entrance to the central cavity is accessibly? I mean based on the whole crystal. I already checked the crystal

It is also possible that mother liquor prevents binding (although often in such cases you would see some precipitant component in the active site. I would generally bet on need for conformational change. And you expect to see the product complex, right? Ed. On Fri, 2010-04-09 at 11:15 +0200,
