[ccp4bb] Chicago Symposium in Honor of the International Year of Crystallography
Dear Colleagues, On Friday October 10th, the University of Illinois at Chicago is hosting a symposium and poster session to celebrate the 100th year of crystallography. (Location: Herman Auditorium, MBRB 900 S. Ashland Ave., Chicago) Please send a copy of the abstract for your poster to cjeff...@uic.edu by 5pm Tuesday, Oct. 7. Please indicate in the email if you are an undergraduate, graduate student, or postdoc, to be entered in the poster contest. * Please note the posters are not limited to projects involving X-ray crystallography. For example, projects involving NMR, Molecular Dynamics, Bioinformatics, and related methods are also welcome. The schedule of the symposium will be as follows, with lunch provided for those who register: 9:30am Registration 10:00-10:15 Welcome and IYCR Overview (C.

[ccp4bb] Fwd: question about calculating electrostatic potentials
Dear CCP4 users, I have a question about protein electrostatic surfaces. We used Pymol to calculate electrostatic surfaces of several protein structures. Is there a way to calculate the percent of surface that is red, or the area of surface that is red, so that we can quantitatively compare these structures? Thanks, Connie
Re: [ccp4bb] Incorrect Structure in the PDB
Hi Trevor, I think you should also email the authors of the key paper in your field that you mention. They should be told that the structure they used to create the model of the mechanism was incorrectly interpreted and should have the opportunity to write a correction to their paper.
