[ccp4bb] map and model do not fit when using Turbo-Frodo

2008-09-29 Thread Ben Ammar Youssef

Dear All,

I am refining a structure of Se-protein solved with MAD using phenix. 
The unit cell is P 21 21 21 with a=36.898, b=59.450, c=393.909 and 
alpha=beta=gamma=90. There are two molecules in A.U.
The problem is that when I use Turbo-Frodo for molecular modeling, the 
map does not fit to the model. There is a shift (translation) between 
the map and the model. However, if I use coot every thing is OK. I don't 
know why this happens only with Turbo.


Any suggestion or any trick for this problem are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [ccp4bb] Rfactor got stuck with a data having alternate strong and weak reflections.

2009-09-04 Thread Ben Ammar Youssef

Hi all,
I just want to ask another question related to this topic:
Based on the example given by Jerry McCully and if the data has 
alternate strong and weak reflections, how can we split it into two 
different files; one containing the weak reflections and the other 
containing the strong reflections?

One paper in Acta. Cryst. (2006) D62, 1369-1374 described the same 
problem of pseudo-symmetry. To lower the Rfactor they used (h+k+l=2n+1) 
odd reflections for rigid body refinement and (h+k+l=2n) even 
reflections for restrained refinement. By this way they could decrease 
R/Rfree from (0.425/0.434) to (0.235/0.311).

I guess what you mean is to separate different layers along a 
reciprocal direction in two files?

(and not simply strong vs weak reflections ...)

These are be possible to do in sftools with a bit of playing and rtfm, 
but I am not sure where it would lead you.

Re: [ccp4bb] Zalman LCD availability

2010-01-15 Thread Ben Ammar Youssef

Hi Francois,

Zalman LCD (21") is available in Japan. We already bought 2 sets one 
month ago and both are working perfectly with mac pro, windows and Linux.


For William: I think the best way to get extra glasses is to go, in the 
weekend (or late night show if you like), to the nearest movie theater 
with 3D projection.
Personally I did this way, and I got two pairs of glasses just for ~3US$ 
extra/pair and of course enjoyed the 3D movie.

Hello,

By the way, does anyone got this LCD in Japan?

My team is interested to know the model's exact
reference as well as from where you ordered it.

Thanks a lot,
Francois.
