[ccp4bb] Map averaging question

2009-12-04 Thread Simon Kolstoe
Hi,

 

I have 20 identical monomers in my asu of a 2.5A structure. We have
previously model built all twenty monomers and used strict NCS in the
refinement, however I would like to compare this with the maps generated by
building one monomer into an averaged map and then replicating it nineteen
times for the refinement. On a previous structure with just two monomers I
did this to good effect using coot to make my average map and then pymol to
replicate the second monomer, however with twenty monomers things are a bit
more complicated. So:

 

1.   Can the map averaging function in coot cope with averaging across
twenty monomers or is there another better program to use?

2.   What program can I use to generate the nineteen NCS symmetry
operators and then apply them to the monomer I am building? I'm guessing
I'll need a script to do this - is there a webpage/tutorial that explains
how to do what I imagine must be a fairly common procedure?

 

Thanks,

 

Simon

Hi Simon,

NCS symmetry operators:

It all depends on the averaging program you want to use. For dm, I've 
used superpose (in ccp4i). For DEMON/ANGEL, I use the program SUPPOS 
(provides matrices and vectors in the correct format).


Fred.

Yup. Just tries it with 1c9s (22-fold ncs)
The 'all' button is handy for turning off the 19 maps you aren't 
interested in, then turning on the one you are.

The averaged density will appear over the A chain.


or is there another better program to use?

You can do it in phenix.refine. The prototype is:


for trial in trials:
 phenix.refine model.pdb data.mtz main.random_seed=random_value 
modify_start_model.adp.shake=true output.prefix=str(random_value)


where each refinement will start with the original B-factors that are 
shaken by a certain value.

PS You can use phenix.pdbtools to do any manipulations on your model, 
such as shaking, setting, shifting of coordinates, b-factors, 
occupancies, etc.

refine back down nicely - but it would be good to have some sort of 
randomization method - that would be a test of how much the values are

We could do multiple B-factor refinements with different starting

Hi,

you can do similar thing (that is resulting in similar outcome) in 
phenix.refine by increasing the weight on ADP restraints term. 
Example: increase wu or decrease wxu_scale. Although I believe a 
regular refinement of individual isotropic ADPs should normally work 
just fine at 3A resolution in phenix.refine.

Basically my reasoning for doing this is a low data-to-parameter ratio, which 
makes B-factor refinement unfeasible. So far I have had nice results with 
breaking the complex into rigid subdomains. So i was basically just thinking of 
a way I could refine the structure best, without using too many parameters.


I see now how this can be done in Phenix. I will give it a try.

[ccp4bb] Electron density improvement with resolution graphic

2009-12-04 Thread Brad Bennett
Hi all-
I recall seeing a long time ago a figure which showed the progressive
improvement of electron density as one increases resolution, say from 6 to
3.5 to 2A. I believe I've seen two versions- one a larger scale pic showing
the ability to model side chains of alpha helices at higher resolutions and
the other a simpler graphic of a tyrosine aromatic ring showing the electron
density hole in the middle of the ring once near atomic resolution maps are
obtained. Does anyone have, in their teaching notes or a textbook or
presentation, a graphic which displays this? I need it for a talk this
weekend and Google searches have come up blank. If all else fails, I can
generate it myself...(lazy sigh)

 weekend and Google searches have come up blank. If all else fails, I can
 generate it myself...(lazy sigh)

 Thanks in advance-

James Holton has a great little movie showing how electron density  
changes with decreasing resolution:  http://ucxray.berkeley.edu/~jamesh/movies/resolution.mpeg

Hi all-
I recall seeing a long time ago a figure which showed the  
progressive improvement of electron density as one increases  
resolution, say from 6 to 3.5 to 2A. I believe I've seen two  
versions- one a larger scale pic showing the ability to model side  
chains of alpha helices at higher resolutions and the other a  
simpler graphic of a tyrosine aromatic ring showing the electron  
density hole in the middle of the ring once near atomic resolution  
maps are obtained. Does anyone have, in their teaching notes or a  
textbook or presentation, a graphic which displays this? I need it  
for a talk this weekend and Google searches have come up blank. If
