Why is there overgrowth on LB media after transformation?

I've been doing transformation several times with DH5. I got overgrowth/bacterial lawn growing on my plates twice, and when I transform for the 3rd time, there's no colonies formed. I'm using heat...

Is it necessary to covary exogenous constructs in a structural model?

I am working on a SEM model where i have 7 latent variables (6 exogenous and 1 endogenous). In AMOS when I co-vary the exogenous constructs, only 2 paths are coming significant out of 6. But when...

Could you please explain what you mean? rather than a protein with unknown structure I would look for a protein of unknown function.

Raphael Chaleil

That is a strange question, anything that is not in the PDB is of unknown structure, if it has reasonable homologues then it is possible to have a guess by homology modelling. But I would say that the last time I look there were 97362 structures in the PDB, any protein from nr or Uniprot that doesn't have an entry in the PDB should be considered as unknown structure.
