Re: [ccp4bb] cell discrepancies and stuck refinement using different XDS-versions

2018-08-06 Thread Tim Gruene
Dear Sabine,

I would first take a look at the respective log-files for differences in 
parameter settings, in particular SPOT_RANGE / DATA_RANGE, 
INCLUDE_RESOLUTION_RANGE.
Start with IDXREF.LP, then proceed to COLSPOT.LP.

The relevant parameters are always listed in the header of the log-files. 
Programms like xxdiff or vimdiff are very useful to highlight the differences.

Best,
Tim

[ccp4bb] cell discrepancies and stuck refinement using different XDS-versions

2018-08-06 Thread Sabine Schneider

Dear all,

We are encountering a differences in indexing using different XDS 
versions, which results in either 2 or 4 mols/asu (SG P1; structure 
determination via MR (30% seq ID model)) and either successful 
refinement or stuck R/Rfree


- the data were collected at ESRF ID30A3 (Aiger detector) and extend to 
about 2.3A resolution (CC1/2 ~50%)


The XDS version build 20180126 (and or autoprocessing at the ESRF via 
autoproc, dials, xdsapp or grenade -> here also xds version from 
20180126 used) gives us:


P1  38.65    50.76    61.11 110.057  99.945  90.197
XDS complains and I need to use "DEFPIX INTEGRATE CORRECT"
-> 2mols/asu, structure refines to R/Rfree of 22/25

In contrast the actual XDS-Version BUILT=20180409 results in:
P1  39.2   51.3  116.8  86.3  82.3  89.8
but XDS runs smoothly.
-> 4mols/asu, tNCS, R/Rfree stuck at 28/32
If I feed XDS with the smaller cell above, it fails.

(The smaller cell is also found by Xia2/dials via the CCP4i2 interface.)

Thus I am wondering, what are the differences between the two 
XDS-versions? (I remember vaguely that there was a tread about different 
XDS-versions, but couldn't find it..)


Cheers Sabine

[ccp4bb] HTS Specialist Position at St. Jude

2018-08-06 Thread Marcus Fischer
The High Throughput Biosciences (HTB) Center is recruiting a senior-level
scientist to serve as our in-house protein expert and to join our efforts
in using high-throughput screening (HTS) for structure/target-based small
molecule discovery (Job title: HTS Specialist). The HTS Specialist reports
to the Director of the High Throughput Bioscience (HTB) Center and is
expected to independently lead and implement collaborative projects;
present and publish research results; and assist the Center Director in
managing the daily operations of the Center.



The successful candidate will have extensive experience in molecular
biology, protein biochemistry, and structural biology and a strong interest
in learning, developing, and implementing new techniques related to
high-throughput small-molecule drug discovery.



Experience in the following areas is a plus: protein purification, protein
crystallography, docking, and biochemical and biophysical assay
development, along with a strong publication record.



Please direct your questions, cover letter, current CV, and 3 letters of
reference to Dr. Taosheng Chen (taosheng.c...@stjude.org).



The *High Throughput Bioscience Center* at St. Jude consists of members
