I love surprise crystals. Is that the real diffraction in the video? It looks like it diffracts to very nice resolution. What are the plans for publishing and depositing the structure.
WTG fiendish_ghoul and Bruno!
No, unfortunately that is not the diffraction for this protein (sorry!). That footage comes from an educational video by The Royal Institution: https://youtu.be/gLsC4wlrR2A
In fact, our test tube crystals did not diffract that well, but we were able to optimize the conditions and get diffraction to 1.83 Å.
The structure has already been deposited in the PDB here!
How do you share/submit a design you believe is viable?
Hi SurferSleuth–I have passed your question on to the team! Thank you!
Man its really sux, that you unable to test all those protein designs,fold.it when you thing to release new statement about testing fold.it stuff ?
