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
