Re: [ccp4bb] High Wilson B

It is hard to get a resonable estimate of Wilson B with 4.5A to 3A data, but yes - if the crystal stops diffracting at 3A that seems reasonable to me Eleanor Michael Colaneri wrote: Dear colleagues, I have a B of 75A**2 from Wilson statistics 4.7 to 3 A res, good straight line. Has anyone

[ccp4bb] struggling with molecular replacement

2007-07-26 Thread Wu, Mousheng
hi, everyone! I am struggling with my crystal structure in a very big unit cell. my protein is about 16KDa. probably there are about 20 molecules in the asymmetric unit. I tried to use molecular replacement to solve the structure. However, there is only one NMR structure available for me. The

Oxalate. Sometimes forms when PEGs get old and begin to oxidize. That's some of the stuff that is responsible for PEG's becoming progressively more acidic as they age. No idea if you have PEG in solution or not. Alternative - CH3-C(=O)-COOH Disordered dimethyl formamide Dimethyl acetamide

As Anthony and Jeremy suggested, I tried to fit oxalate into the density. It perfectly matches the density. Thank all of you. I should read more papers now to make it sense.

[ccp4bb] unknown density in structure

2007-07-26 Thread Wu, Mousheng
Hi, everyone, I am recently solving a structure at 1.8A. After I fitted all residues into the model, I found that there was an extra density in a pocket consisted of E, N, R and other hydrophobic residues. The density is strong and connected like a butterfly. I checked the crystallization

Re: [ccp4bb] High Wilson B

2007-07-26 Thread Becker, Joseph W
Agreed. Lots of thermal action is reflected in a high Wilson B and is consistent with a low diffraction limit: if average I keeps decreasing with resolution, it has to go below the limit of measurement at a lower resolution than a more sedate crystal, which will have a lower B and a higher

Hello, I have a SAD data set to 2.9A and a native data set on the same protein to 2.3A. I have built 70% of the model (polyalanine) into the SAD experimental map that has been subjected to 2-fold NCS averaging and phase-extended to 2.3 A. From the maps, the model looks like it fits the density
