Hi, what resolution range do you use? You can try reducing it a little. How big is your cell? Tim On Friday 18 May 2007 13:46, Jay Thompson wrote: > Hi, > > Thanks for the suggestions and quick reply. Suggestions work great! > > But I have another problem and looking back at the ccp4bb, I see t

Hi, Thanks for the suggestions and quick reply. Suggestions work great! But I have another problem and looking back at the ccp4bb, I see that Elenor had a similar problem late last year. The error message is as follows: -- OUT OF MEMORY ERROR: St9bad_alloc --

Hello, you could try to let phaser search for the first fragment, too. That way it should produce a file ending with '.sol' which you can pass to phaser for the second search (bottom at the ccp4-gui, "Define search sets..."). Otherwise, if you do not want to move the first fragment, both the Eu

What about giving the correctly positioned partial solution, and fixed angles/translation of 0,0,0,0,0,0 for that part? Jay Thompson wrote: Hi, I have a question with molecular replacement using Phaser. I'm trying to solve a complex and I have a partial molecular replacement solution solved

Hi, at 1.2A resolution, you can probably go higher than 2 with the weighting term, especially at the end of your refinement, when the model is near completeness. You can try 'weight auto' to let refmac5 figure out the correct weight (you have to use 'Run&View Com file' to edit the script manual

Hi, I have a question with molecular replacement using Phaser. I'm trying to solve a complex and I have a partial molecular replacement solution solved using another program. This solution is correct and makes up ~50% of the entire complex. I wanted to fix this solution and search for another

Dear all, I am having a problem with refining my structure using refmac5. Basically, I am trying to make some small changes to several places on the backbone. But the thing is that, after restrained refinement, the changes I made would be all gone and the chain stayed exactly where they were befor

[ccp4bb] LINK record in PDB file for REFMAC5?

2007-05-17 Thread Jie Liu
Dear you all I have a modified peptide. The N atom of the first Glycine is replaced by an C atom, and it makes covalent bonds to the N atom of the fourth amino acid through a -C=C-C- linker. In case I didn't make it clear, here is a simple illustration: .(CO-Ca-C)-C=C-C-N (N belongs

Hi Mark, Getting reliable stats straight from the PDB is nearly impossible. Waters are commonly used to fill the gaps in difference maps, just to lower the R-factor. Just look at the density for almost any structure. You'll see that there are quite a few waters that have no density at all, insanel

Hi Mark, I attach a little plot based on a quick analysis of recent PDB entries (between Jan 04 and Nov 06, only Xray). This shows the number of waters (HOH residues) per ATOM record (i.e. mainly protein, RNA/DNA). If you want the number of waters per amino-acid residue, you could just multiply it
