[ccp4bb] CHOOCH problem

2007-07-06 Thread Truc Kim
Hello everyone, I used CHOOCH program to find f' and f value for bromide. My input file was modified that the 1st column is the energy and 2nd column is X-ray flux. Could you tell me the problem when I got the following information: Spectrum over br K edge at theoretical energy of 13474.00 eV

Dear List, I'd like to thank all of you who answered my question. All answers except one give suggestions on how to check-improve on the diffraction of the crystals I already have, which is something I didn't hope for. You can find a summary below. Thanks again for your precious help,

[ccp4bb] Solving structure of protein-protein complexes using MR

2007-07-06 Thread Joe Smith
Hi all, We have been trying to solve a structure of protein-protein complexes using 3.1A data (one of the proteins is of 120kDa whereas the other is of 20kDa). The structure of smaller protein is known (individually-100% sequence identity) whereas the bigger protein does not share more than 10%

Hi Joe, I think you are wasting your time pursueing molrep. Go for some experimental phases. Try a bromide soak or xenon derivatisation. Provided your molrep solution is correct, you don't need a lot of extra phase information. Cheers, Manfred.

Re: [ccp4bb] The CCP4 license is ambiguous

Dear Colleagues, May I suggest that, at this point, we all need a clarification of the licensing for the libraries in CCP4 (as distinct from the licensing for the programs). The community as a whole would benefit from an unambiguous release of the current libraries (as opposed to the next to

Dear all Recently I collected a dataset, which is rhombohedral on indexing screen of HKL2000. I processed the dataset as R3 and R32 at synchrotron. But I realized it can be H3 or H32. Is it correct? Cell dimensions are a=b c and alpha=90, beta=90, and gamma=120. For me, synchrotron is only

[ccp4bb] Double conformations of cysteine !

2007-07-06 Thread Prasenjit Bhaumik
Hello, We are trying to refine a structure using REFMAC and we are facing problem in refining the double conformations of a cysteine residue. One conformation is involved in formation of a disulfide linkage and other conformation is free. Is there any way to define the restraints so that both

Re: [ccp4bb] Double conformations of cysteine !

2007-07-06 Thread Miller, Mitchell D.
The SSBOND record does not allow the specification of an alternate location indicator. The PDB practice is to list the SSBOND record if any confirmation is in an SS-bond. I think that refmac has problems with this since it will try to apply the SSBOND patch to both confirmations. The

It seems odd from energetic considerations that there would be a free-form amino acid when it has a choice to be involved in energetically favorable interaction. It sounds doubly odd in the case of a cystein involved in a disulfide bond. Could it be that you are observing the effects of radiation

Dear Kang, In addition to theoretical considerations, you may want to have a look at Pointless: http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/prerelease_page.php#pointless Just integrate data with Mosflm and run Pointless before Scala (you may also want to integrate data in P1). If you want to try to import unmerged

I am not an expert in XDS but will still put my $0.02 in: Your new ORGX seems to be a reflection of the 2theta. In some other programs, origin is always defined at 2theta=0 and the angular (or linear, to that matter) offset is given as a parameter. I.e. software applies 2theta offset
