  • JEOL2100 with Richie

IR from transient transfections - 90 million cells vs 1.5 billion

K2 - 30 sec stain - too light, particles and perhaps some monomers?
K6 - 30 sec stain, 3 washes - some areas of pulled stain with good contrast
K10 - 60 sec stain - better, but dark areas too much stain and light areas too light

L1 - 45 sec stain - light blotting, 1 min incubation - better concentration of particles but not stained evenly
L3 - 30 sec stain - no blotting, 2 min incubation - not stained well, aggregates of protein seen

M4 - carbon sandwhich, 2 min incubation, 30sec stain - undried stain

N1 - tmv tracer - 1 min incubation, unblotted - too much stain

O2 - PTA 2% 30 sec stain, 1 min incubation - tmv tracer - different morphology, more linear and compact
O4 - PTA 2% in purification buffer - tmv tracer - too much stain

Ed,

Here are the .box files for the IR EM images. I went picked particles from a little over 100 images. I had to rename some files so I included a key in the folder but I will explain it here too. Essentially, I have three folders from images. Folders "P3 Round 1" and "P3 Round 2" from 6/12/13 and "P3" from 6/19/13. The files were renamed to the following... P3_A_001 to P3_A_005 = Images from 6/12/13 P3 Round 1 P3_B_001 to P3_B_050 = Images from 6/12/13 P3 Round 2 P3_C_001 to P3_C_150 = Images from 6/19/13

I am attempting to continue with analysis but I have been receiving a error stating "The data area passed to a system call is too small". I'm not completely sure what that error means but my guess is my laptop might not have the processing power necessary to complete the function. I might have to install EMAN2 on our lab's desktop computer and try it on that. I'll keep you updated on my progress.

Initial meeting

August 15, 2012

First 120kV session with JulienGros

Mcm2-7 - double hexamers around DNA >600kDa three different buffers (all: 25 mM Hepes-KOH pH 7.6 / 5% glycerol / 10 mM Mg(OAC)2) containing either 0.1 M K-glutamate, or 0.1 M K-acetate, or 0.1 M NaCl?. The complexes were assembled on 1 kb linear DNA.
buffer:
1 wash+0.1 M K-glutamate
2 wash+0.1 M K-Ac
3 wash+0.1 M NaCl?

UrFormate?: 0.75%, pH 4.5

Grids:
Nitrocellulose/carbon - 3 uL sample, 15 sec glowdischarge w/Minghui program, 1min incubation, 30 sec stain
1 - sample 1
2 - sample 2
3 - sample 3

Nitrocellulose/carbon - 5 uL sample, 20 sec glowdischarge w/Minghui program, 5min incubation, 30 sec stain
1B - sample 1
2B - sample 2
3B - sample 3

August 22, 2012

2nd 120kV session with JulienGros

Mcm2-7 - 600 kDa
Notes:
Purification: Endogenous protein purified from yeast. Enriched with DNA coupled to magnetic beads. ORC (?300 kDa complex) and Cdc6 (60KDa protein) required to lead protein onto DNA.

buffer:

1A 100 mM KGlutamate, 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.6, 10 mM MgAcetate?, 5% glycerol, 1mM ATP, 2mM BME, 250 ng/uL FLAG peptide
3A 100 mM NaCl?, 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.6, 10 mM MgAcetate?, 5% glycerol, 1mM ATP, 2mM BME, 250 ng/uL FLAG peptide

grids: nitrocellulose/carbon

Grid Images Preparation conditions Comments
1A 10 15 sec glow discharge, 3 uL sample, 5 min incubation, 30 sec stain Almost no carbon, the 2 grid squares with carbon had precipitate and too much stain
3A 0 15 sec glow discharge, 3 uL sample, 5 min incubation, 30 sec stain No carbon
1A2 40 10 sec glow discharge, 2 uL sample, 5 min incubation, 2 washes, 30 sec stain Smaller particles, aggregates, overall a heterogeneous sample, Double hexamer falling apart?
1AgridI 20 15 sec glow discharge, 2 uL sample, 4 min incubation, 1 wash, 30 sec stain larger particles, aggregates, overall a heterogeneous sample
1AgridII 20 15 sec glow discharge, 2 uL sample, 4 min incubation, 1 wash, 30 sec stain somewhere in between 1A2 and 1AgridI
1AgridIII 15 15 sec glow discharge, 2 uL sample, 4 min incubation, 1 wash, 30 sec stain aggregation and no apparent single particles
