That code didn't make the transition. The whole module needs to be 
reworked, I see now.


OK, well I will do that.

My intention was that base pairing restraints should be applied 
automatically now. While RSR (Sphere, say) is active, give an atom in a 
DG a little tug in the opposite direction to the DC - if the DC follows 
then the base pair restraints are being applied (it would seem to me).

Re: [ccp4bb] add ligand with AceDRG

[Diana Tomchick]

The PDB has reserved the following codes for unknown ligands:

DRG
INH
01 - 99

Using one of these should not cause you the described problems. I successfully 
used

99

just last week. If you try to use

999 or LIG

these will not work, there are ligands assigned to those codes.

Why can you only use "taken" three letter codes? In the "output monomer" box, 
you should be able to enter whatever you'd like for the "Three letter code for

[ccp4bb] EMBO practical course: Structure, dynamics and function of biological macromolecules by NMR

[Malene Ringkjobing Jensen]

Dear colleagues,

Applications are open for the EMBO practical course: “Structure, dynamics and 
function of biological macromolecules by NMR”. 
The application deadline is the 1st of May 2024. 

The course will be held from Friday the 30th of August until Friday the 6th of 
September 2024 at the Institute of Structural Biology on the EPN science campus 
in Grenoble. Please see:

https://meetings.embo.org/event/24-nmr

for further information and for submitting your application. 

Applicants need to provide a motivation letter, description of research 
interests, publication list (if applicable), CV and poster abstract. A letter 
of recommendation from the supervisor or head of laboratory should be sent to 
malene.jen...@ibs.fr  before the deadline. 
Incomplete applications will not be considered. 

The intention of the course is to provide practical training in important 
aspects of structural and dynamical analysis by NMR. The emphasis will be on 
setting up experiments on the spectrometer (optimising parameters, pulse 
programs), on processing and analysing the NMR data and on structure 
calculations in a hands-on fashion. It is impossible to also teach all the 
necessary theoretical background of modern NMR experiments in a few days. 
Therefore, the course is aimed at PhD students and postdocs who have some 
working knowledge of NMR theory and who understand the basic principles of NMR 
pulse sequences. Candidates should have a knowledge of NMR theory at the level 
of the book “Protein NMR Spectroscopy" by Cavanagh et al or similar.  

Topics to be covered:

Pulse sequences for assignment and structural information: theory, practical 
set-up and use
Multidimensional data processing
Resonance assignment
Structure calculation and evaluation
Relaxation: theory, experiments, data analysis
Residual dipolar couplings: theory, experiments, data analysis
Paramagnetic NMR
NMR of nucleic acids
In-cell NMR

Please forward this information to any students or postdocs who might be 
interested in the course.

Sincerely yours,

Re: [ccp4bb] add ligand with AceDRG

[Fei Long]

Hi Stefanie,

If you could run from command-lines, it will be easy to solve this 
problem.


try from command-line, type
acedrg -i "your_smiles_string" -r your_3_letter_code -o 
your_out_file_name


For example,
acedrg -i "C[C@@H](C(=O)O)N" -r UNL -o UNL

You will get a file called UNL.cif, which should be ok for the 
refinement.


Best wishes,

Fei

Hi Stefanie,

In CCP4Cloud, the equivalent task will generate the files using a 'free', 
unused code, if nothing is entered in the relevant box. However, not sure if 
CCP4I2's task will do the same, but worth trying.

Hope this helps,

Have you considered a Raspberry Pi with camera, or camera mount with 
your existing lens:


https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/#cameras-and-displays

Photos and livestream will be easy to set up. You could try motioneye to 
give you a livestream and take pictures on demand, or at defined time

Greetings, hive mind,

We have an old (but still useful) Nikon SMZ stereomicroscope that we use for

to capture crystal images for archival purposes, and also to live-stream as a 
teaching tool.

I’d be grateful for any suggestions for an inexpensive option here.

When this camera was new we used it with an SLR that captured images on *film* 
(this is where the students gasp). We’ve since gone through one digital camera 
that probably still works, but the interface and software have become 
obsolescent. Meanwhile, the microscope keeps on truckin’; interesting to 
reflect on the relative lifetimes of analog vs. digital tools…

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Dear Pat,

we are facing the same problem and the most effective solution I found 
is to print support for smartphones, which today offer incredibly good 
cameras. Here are two examples of open access designs:

I’d start with a web search for “webcam astrophotography”, which should show

Back in the day, I had a Philips webcam that had a screw-out lens - this device 
was used by amateur astronomers as a cheap way into astrophorography. Philips 
no longer seem to make webcams, but (from what I remember) this was 
plug-and-play, and used the drivers on my Mac.

You could go for a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera - Nikon actually have 
their own webcam utility to turn your DSLR/mirrorless into a suitable device, 
and this would be most likely to use the SLR mount. E-Bay have Nikon bodies 
starting at around $200 today.

Greetings, hive mind,

We have an old (but still useful) Nikon SMZ stereomicroscope that we use for 
mounting crystals. I’d like to attach a digital camera to the phototube, both 
to capture crystal images for archival purposes, and also to live-stream as a 
teaching tool.

I’d be grateful for any suggestions for an inexpensive option here.

When this camera was new we used it with an SLR that captured images on *film* 
(this is where the students gasp). We’ve since gone through one digital camera 
that probably still works, but the interface and software have become 
obsolescent. Meanwhile, the microscope keeps on truckin’; interesting to 
reflect on the relative lifetimes of analog vs. digital tools…

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Pat

Re: [ccp4bb] Microscope camera

[Harry Powell]

Hi Pat

Depends on how much you want to spend.

I’d start with a web search for “webcam astrophotography”, which should show 
options on how to remove a webcam’s lens and mount the cam (not the kens, of 
course!) on another optical instrument.

Back in the day, I had a Philips webcam that had a screw-out lens - this device 
was used by amateur astronomers as a cheap way into astrophorography. Philips 
no longer seem to make webcams, but (from what I remember) this was 
plug-and-play, and used the drivers on my Mac.

You could go for a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera - Nikon actually have 
their own webcam utility to turn your DSLR/mirrorless into a suitable device, 
and this would be most likely to use the SLR mount. E-Bay have Nikon bodies 
starting at around $200 today.
