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 September 26, 2012

June 2013Ed, 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.
