Dear All,

I would like to add my 5 cents to partly answer Eugene's questions about the script, and to follow up on Eleonor's mentioning of Zbsyzek and the rules for placing macromolecular structures in the crystal lattice.

For the last couple of years, we have been routinely using the ACHESYM server for standardized placement of macromolecular models in the unit cell cell (http://achesym.ibch.poznan.pl/) for all structure before depositing them. It works great.

The following paper describes the server.

Dear Eleanor,
From PDB files I see that  the structures were solved by molecular replacement using pdbid 1gci as a starting model. It is hard to say definitely without the linked paper but may be the depositors made the same error that I did some time ago: they solved both structures using molecular replacement instead of running rigid body refinement for follow up structure. Actually, the issue with different origins is pretty common in pdb. For example, I searched pdb for isomorphous lysozyme structures in P43212 with unit cell dimensions a=b=78.5-79.3 and c=36.5-37.3 and have found 121 structures. I picked 6 random structures and only 2 of them have the same origin. By the way, may be someone has a script to move several isomorphous structures to the same origin and rename chains according to reference structure?

    I have just downloaded two isomorphous coordinates from the pdb
    5arb and 5arc  deposited by the same team


    Tried to compare and they are on different origins.

    I know it doesnt affect the crystallography
    It is easily corrected

    BUT it seems bad practice to me

    Eleanor
