Re: [ccp4bb] High Rfree in last Shell

2019-04-18 Thread Pavel Afonine
Also, values in parentheses (high-res shell) depend on how you (the program
you use) do binning. Different programs do it differently and so these
values can vary quite substantially. With a little of trial-and-error
effort choosing the binning one can make these values farther or closer to
overall R. To me this is a hint that these numbers are not very useful. A
plot R (completeness, ..) vs resolution is much more useful than the values
for an arbitrarily defined resolution bin!

[ccp4bb] Phenix version 1.15 released

2019-04-18 Thread Paul Adams
The Phenix developers are pleased to announce that version 1.15 of Phenix is 
now available (build 1.15.2-3472). Binary installers for Linux, Mac OSX, and 
Windows platforms, and the source installer, are available at the download site:

http://phenix-online.org/download/

Highlights for this version:

New and improved tools

- New algorithm for phenix.map_to_model is faster and builds longer chains
- phenix.trace_and_build can build protein into maps at resolutions as low as 
4.5 A
- phenix.fix_insertions_deletions can build models in places where the map is 
poor
- phenix.refine_ca_model for optimizing C-alpha only models
- phenix.comparama for generating Kleywegt-like plots that show how residues 
moved in the Ramachandran 
  plots before and after refinement
- eLBOW can find unique instances of a ligand from the PDB and optionally 
create Polder OMIT maps
- Updated structural library for phenix.structure_search
- Updated ligand library for phenix.ligand_identification
- Improved reporting of cis-peptides for residues with altloc atoms
- Output of mmCIF format files by default by major tools: phenix.refine, 
phenix.real_space_refine, phenix.pdbtools
- Bugfixes in Phaser-2.8.3

Other improvements

- Updated mmCIF support (stuct_conn loop, ligand restraints, sequence)
- phenix.refine, phenix.real_space_refine, and phenix.pdbtools will also output 
models in mmCIF format by default
- Dependencies are now based on conda packages, which will be more compatible 
with new operating systems and will 
  improve consistency across all platforms (macOS, linux, Windows)
- Bug fixes

Re: [ccp4bb] analytical gel filtration columns

2019-04-18 Thread Bärbel Blaum
Hi Mohinder,

 

if you are up to trying something new the monolithic columns by Biaseparation 
(analytical or prep) are well suited for big molecules / particles and worked 
very well for me. The fittings work with the GE chromatography instruments.

Good luck,

 

Bärbel

Mohinder,

 

You could also try HPLC where you should get better results due to more 
theoretical plates.  One option would from Phenomenex.

Dear all,

 

I would like to gel filter a multi protein complex (1.4MDa) as the final 
purification step. I have tried tandem Superose 6 columns and this complex 
elutes close to void volume as it is a very elongated molecule.

 

 

I was wondering if someone could suggest different analytical columns for 
better resolution as I plan to add more components to this existing complex. 

 

Best wishes,

 

Mohinder Pal
