Re: [ccp4bb] Problem with crystallization of Se-Met labeled protein

2008-05-28 Thread Andrew Gulick
Consider also the possibility that your SeMet protein differs from the native protein by something other than the sulfur -- selenium. Growing your cells in different conditions may induce different host proteins that could modify your protein. (Often we use rich media for native protein

[ccp4bb] Problem with crystallization of Se-Met labeled protein

2008-05-27 Thread Joe Smith
Dear all, Sorry for an off-topic query. I have been unable to crystallize a Se-met containing protein (8 Met in 206 amino acids) in the native crystallization condition ( 0.1 M Tris pH 8.5, 1.2 M K-Na-tartrate; Theoretical pI of protein is 8.4). As expected, solubility of Se-Met containing protein

Have you thought about phasing off the sulfurs? This is quite a common technique nowadays. Jim On Tue, 27 May 2008, Joe Smith wrote: Dear all, Sorry for an off-topic query. I have been unable to crystallize a Se-met containing protein (8 Met in 206 amino acids) in the native crystallization

Hi, This topic is not related to CCP4. I am having problem of crystallizing one protein. It's a pretty small protein with size around 15kDa. I have stock concentration around 100mg/mL. Crystallization plates I set up are with concentration of 10mg/mL, 30mg/mL and 50mg/mL. All the plates had

I would start looking at the buffer conditions for the protein. One place to start is to reduce the salt. I would half, quarter, and then try no salt at all. I Kevin P Madauss V-161a US Structural Biology GlaxoSmithKline Office: 919.483.3759
