[ccp4bb] Precipitation of protein-protein complex under most of the crystallization condition

2010-04-29 Thread Jhon Thomas
Hello BB I am working with small protein-protein complex of Molecular weight 40kDa. This protein expresses well and soluble in 20mM Tris-Cl pH-8.0 and 50mM of KCl, could be concentrated upto 20mg per ml in this buffer. I have purifed this protein with Ni-NTA resin and they are free from any

a most approapriate paper for the method that i described earlier is in the following paper. Follow the link Optimum solubility (OS) screening: an efficient method to optimize buffer conditions for homogeneity and crystallization of proteins
