[ccp4bb] Install CCP4 on MacOS Monterey

2024-04-09 Thread Klaus Futterer
I am trying to install CCP4 on MacOS 12.7 (Monterey).

Unfortunately, the disk image (ccp4 8.0) does not open, despite me following 
the advice of Ctrl-Click, open ... all I get is the informative window with the 
instructions how to launch the disk image for MacOS 10.15 and later.

Any advice out there for me?

Hi all,

We are currently advertising a 3-year post-doc position. 
https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DGL324/research-fellow-in-structural-biology. I'm 
looking for either a structural biologist or a mass spectrometrist (or someone 
with both expertise). They would work on finding a new molecular switch to 
enhance photosynthetic control.

Thanks,

Can anyone recommend some reading material or tutorials for me to

Assuming the material is actually crystalline enough to give a

What  more sophisticated, readily available methods (software?) is

[ccp4bb] Summary of Crystal Imaging Systems

2008-11-12 Thread Klaus Futterer

Summary on Crystal Imaging equipment

First, I would like to point out that the replies I received do not  
amount to a representative survey that would accurately reflect the  
performance of the instruments mentioned. Not all users of crystal  
imaging system users read the BB, disappointed users may be more  
likely to respond and their testimony might reflect out-of-date  
versions, happy users may not have the time or inclination to express  
their views (they are probably busy mounting their crystals), and  
most replies reported on specific aspects of the experience a  
particular user has had. (Ok - I hope this disclaimer will cover any  
legal issues).



CrystalPro - (3 responses; made by Tritek, distributed by Molecular  
Dimensions)
Response 1 described software as not user-friendly and indicated that  
the instrument, as a result, found little use in the lab (did not  
say, whether this was a recent experience).
Response 2 – described hardware problems and software bugs (since  
then fixed). Image quality and brightness was described as wanting.
Response 3 – described image quality as sufficient, did not log any  
specific complaints.


Rhombix Vision -  (1 response, instrument longer sold, used to be  
distributed by Thermo)
Response noted very good imaging quality, good reliability, no  
service issues


RockImager - (4 responses, made/distributed by Formulatrix)
Favourable reviews throughout for imaging quality and reliability.  
Service by company was reported as prompt and effective. Temporary  
condensation problems (resolved) were mentioned in context of the 4ºC  
incubator.


Crystal Farm - (1 response, made/distributed by Bruker AXS)
Response was unfavourable. Noted reliability and service issues.  
Imaging quality was not described in this response.


Minstrel - (1 response, made/distributed by Rigaku)
Response described instrument as having very good image quality, easy- 
to-use software, and reported no problems with the instrument (was  
installed only 4 months ago).


CrysCam - (2 responses, made by Art Robbins Instruments, distributed  
in Europe by Dunn Labortechnik)
Response 1 – favourable (but by admission of the author biased).  
Described the instrument as simple, robust and inexpensive.

Response 2 – noted low resolution and "poor optics".
(CrysCam is a stand-alone desktop instrument w/o incubator/hotel)

[ccp4bb] Opinions on Crystal Imaging Systems

2008-11-06 Thread Klaus Futterer

Dear CCP4BB community,

We are looking into acquiring a crystal imaging system. I'm keen to  
learn about personal preferences and experiences, perhaps with some  
technical performance specifics. Points of interest include (but are  
not limited to)


* quality of images (focussing depth, lighting, ...)
* reliability
* service needs and serviceability
* drop localisation

Could I suggest to forward replies directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  
rather than to the BB so as not to upset any particular supplier  
unnecessarily?

(I promise to generate a posting-suitable summary).

Many thanks,

Klaus

[ccp4bb] Sequence of crystallised protein fragment

2008-07-01 Thread Klaus Futterer
We have a 150 kDa protein that reproducibly crystallises at one of  
the Hampton Screen conditions. However, we know from SDS gel analysis  
that the crystals contain only a 45 kDa fragment, that forms through  
proteolytic cleavage over time. We would like to determine the  
sequence boundaries of the fragment.


We believe a combination of N-terminal sequencing plus MS analysis  
might give us the information we need, but I was wondering whether  
the ccp4bb community has other suggestions.

[ccp4bb] upgrade coot via fink on OS X

2008-04-14 Thread Klaus Futterer

I had previously installed coot 0.3.2 using fink on OS X on MacBook Pro
(under Tiger).

Trying to update coot using fink proved more difficult.

Initially I tried
sudo apt-get install coot

Coot would install but would not start due to a library version  
mismatch.
Then it got messy. I followed instructions given on Bill Scott's  
'Install crystallography using fink'

page:

fink scanpackages; fink index
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

The last command stalled - during imagamagick update.

Then I just tried again:
sudo apt-get install coot

Now coot would start, but stall saying:
Reading coordinate file: /sw/share/coot/standard-residues.pdb
 PDB file /sw/share/coot/standard-residues.pdb has been read.
Spacegroup: P 1
Cell: 40.631 109.18 93.243 90 90 90
art_render_invoke: no image source given

Can anyone suggest to properly update fink and coot?

Thanks in advance,

Re: [ccp4bb] How to calculate the contacts between the dimer-dimer interface

2007-09-21 Thread Klaus Futterer
Deep-View (Swiss PDB Viewer) allows to calculate (and visualise) a  
'contact surface'

between two subunits, by loading the subunits into different layers.
Residues contributing to the contact surface can be selected by CTRL- 
click

on the contact surface line in the 'Cavities' menu, available under
the 'Window' drop-down menu.

BTW: I'm wondering about the 4A cut-off. Do distances greater than  
this not

matter anymore in the view of a 'pharmaceutical' crystallographer?
