Structures of crosslinked complexes Dear All,

Does anybody know of examples where labile protein complexes have been crystallized after using non-specific crosslinkers (so excluding complexes with engineered SS bonds, for example)?

Thanks in advance for any examples,

Bert

Hello all,

Does anyone know how to get values for pore sizes of membrane channels? I’m not interested in A x B angstrom values measured between atom centers and assuming a regular pore shape, but a “real-life” value of either surface area at the narrowest point or the volume of a block centered on the narrowest point of the pore.

Thanks, Bert
