2007-02-27 Thread Richard Gillilan
I failed to mention that this particular group is a small set of terminal residues (48 atoms I think) that are part of a poorly- resolved HIS tag, so it turns out not to be a meaningful part of the model anyway. I was just surprised to see negative values reported. The other body (different

Molprobity has a great tool for this under the section Visualize interface contacts. One caveat though, if the small molecule isn't already in ligand depot you have to provide your own PDB format description. On 2/27/07, mathias <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Dear all, Can anyone of you guys reco

Dear Mathias, In the old days, I used a program called "ligplot", which gives you a .ps output file with the interactions involved, and the distances. I'm using PyMol as well, but things might not be exactly what you want. Here, I'm just looking at residues 4.2 angstrom away in the intera

I have a perl script to do this job. The pdb file should contain your ligand. Simplest way to run it is "lig_contact file.pdb" If the script does not find the ligand, you can switch to command line options. The script prepares a pymol input file and fires it up to display the interactions. Afte

Dear all, I am trying to solve the structure of a protein complex, via MR, and when the phasing is complete there is 1/3 of the unit cell that is missing electron density. The density present looks very good and shows helices in regions that were disordered in my NMR model, suggesting that it

Hi all, joining this discussion late, however, it might worth mentioning that Amersham/GE has phased out the good old FPLC and is no longer providing neither service nor spare parts. Best to my knowledge the same will happen to the Äkta-FPLC system soon leaving the Explorer and Purifier their

I wouldn't call it numerical error, as such. Refmac doesn't restrain/constrain the T, L or S values at all. In particular, the L value can refine stably and accurately to a negative value. Refmac is refining a set of ADPs constrained to fit a certain functional form with parameters T, L and S. Th

Dear Deliang The SURFACE program is still included in the current version of the suite, so you should be able to run it from the command line or from a a script. However there is no CCP4i interface to SURFACE, so you cannot run it that way. There is an interface to the AREAIMOL program which give
