Re: [ccp4bb] Coot crashes when delete side chain

Hi Jinhua, Following on from Mike's great tip, if you do forget to tick the "Keep Delete Active" dialog box and your coot window crashes, you can recover your old session. After coot crashes, open a new coot window and go to "File" then "Save Coordinates", a new dialogue box pops up asking to

And there was Crambin to 0.48Å (I’ll leave it to others to argue whether or not cramin is a protein, since it has “only” 46 amino acids) where (from memory, I haven’t read the paper for at least 20 nyears…) they modelled multiple water networks. 3NIR, for reference. Harry > On 20 Mar 2023,

Thank you for such a careful analysis of modelling a "true" structure. You should publish this James. It shows amongst other things, how R factors depend on our modelling of solvent which is not represented as individual atoms (And also I think on how the scales are derived between observation

Dear all, The generation of reliable restraints for novel small-molecule ligands in macromolecular complexes is of great importance for both ligand placement into density maps and subsequent refinement. Eleven years ago we announced on the ccp4bb the availability of the Grade Web Server

Yes, I meant maps from SPA. This is the great thing about cryoEM: most maps are discovery maps! I agree that showing crystallographic maps requires more careful explanations for non-experts, but I still believe we, as a field trying to make our nerdy technical things more approachable to
