Crystallizations with microseeding
Use of crystal seed stocks in high-throughput crystallization screenings to improve the chances of crystal formation. Microseeds can be dispensed either during sitting drop or microbatch-under-oil setups.
A state-of-the-art single-photon counting X-ray detector and a new goniometer have been installed. The new set-up allows:
- In situ data collection
- In situ crystal characterisation
- Fast data collection and processing
- Serial crystallography
- Fragment screening for drug design
- Easy and efficient in-house phasing
- Small-molecule crystallography
- Powder diffraction
- New educational and training activities
AlphaFold2 protein structure predictions
We provide help and consultancy to run AlphaFold2 and to analyze/interpret the models (please see Modelling services)
How to acknowledge the use of the facility
Users are kindly asked to acknowledge the use of our facility.
For example:
“The use and expertise of Turku Bioscience Protein Structure and Chemistry Core Facility, a member of Biocenter Finland and FINStruct, is gratefully acknowledged.”
In addition, users should inform us (i) whenever publications have been accepted for publication/published (ii) of the PDB/CSD entry codes whenever structures have been deposited (iii) MSc and PhD theses whenever the facility has been used to obtain data for these theses.
