A coordination distance table (metals, Cl) is in Marjorie Harding's papers 1. Harding M (2006) Small revisions to predicted distances around metal sites in proteins. Acta Crystallogr. D62(6), 678-682. 2. Harding M (2004) The architecture of metal coordination groups in proteins. Acta Crystallogr. D60(5), 849-859.
and my (book)appendix. For anions see various Weiss, Dauter, & Cie soaking papers A figure of a typical Cl which often mask/pass as 'heavy' waters (improbably low B) around 3.2 A coord dist here: http://www.ruppweb.org/garland/gallery/Ch12/pages/Biomolecular_Crystallograp hy_Fig_12-42.htm BR -----Original Message----- From: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK] On Behalf Of Jacob Keller Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2011 4:27 PM To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] non-waters among structured solvent atoms How about halides? Anyone know of criteria for their binding sites? JPK ps Funny how my recent post was about almost exactly the same thing--serendipity, I guess?
