[ccp4bb] glycerol

2011-03-10 Thread Ray Brown
Hi all, I was intrigued by the recent question of whether glycerol had any adverse effects on the final purity of protein isolated by chromatography. Glycerol certainly helps to solubilize some proteins. Does anyone know of any negative effects of glycerol in protein purification, on protein cr

Hi Ray; In case of my protein 5%-10% of glycerol help to increase the solubility both of the soluble domain as well as the trans-membrane domain,improve crystal quality dramatically and even prevent radiation damage to some extent. Best of luck Bashir On Thu, March 10, 2011 23:04, Ray Brown w

Dear Ray, The solubility and stability effect of glycerol is protein dependent and highly concentration dependent. When used at the wrong concetration or molar ratio to protein, preferential interaction could result in adverse effects. Likewise at concentrations higher than 15% in drops for crysta

[ccp4bb] Glycerol for crystal screens

2009-04-01 Thread Matthew Alan Bratkowski
Hi. I am trying to optimize a commercial crystallization condition that contains glycerol. So far, I have not been able to even reproduce the results from the initial screen, and I thought that this may be due to poor quality glycerol (among other possibilities). I believe that the glycerol that

I am working with a metalloprotein that binds cobalt and iron. I was surprised that the solved structures showed the crystals cryoprotected with glycerol are metal free while crystals cryoprotected with ethylene glycol had the metals present. Both cryoprotectant solutions contained metal in th

Ho, interesting case. Glycerol actually forms weak complexes with metal ions: Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry,60 299-302 (1995) and some references therein. But to be true, I am surprised that glycerol at concentrations of 10-15% (?) as used in cryo conditions can compete with a metal ion bin

Dear colleagues, Has anyone seen glycerol on a three-fold axis? THis is possible as the glycerol can be disordered but I want to know if there is an actual case. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Jackie Vitali
