Hi Sajid, the NADP /NAD binding sites are often "composed" of two sites: one site that is specific for the adenine/adenosine moiety and another site for the nicotinamide moiety. It can happen that you see the adenine in the density but not the nictoninamid tangling around. HTH Guenter > I have used NADP in my crystallisation condition; and the crystal diffracted well; I built the model completely and the r-factor and r-free are 0.26 and 0.29 respectively. The resolution is 2.3A. I am looking for NADP, in the binding region; I could see some density for NADP; But it is not continuous; there is no density for the middle phosphate group in fo-fc as well as 2fo-fc. Is it possible that NADP could hydrolyse? if so what could be the hydrolysed product > > > thank you > > sajid > > > > Looking for local information? Find it on Yahoo!
