Structure determination

We determine the three-dimensional structure of soluble proteins up to a size of at least 20 kDa in fully automated fashion. An initial sample characterisation will be done to determine the feasibility. Result are delivered within 2 weeks.

Deliverables:
  • Structural coordinates (PDB file)
  • Report of structure calculation statistics
  • Sequence-specific assignment


Sample requirements:
  • protein size < 20 kDa
  • protein concentration: > 500 uM or > 100 uM in favorable cases
  • isotope labelling: 15N, 13C, 1H
  • any typical biochemistry buffer (e.g. HEPES, TRIS, phosphate)
  • salt concentration: up to 200 mM 


Costs:
Academic
  • sample check
  • up to 20 kDa
