[ccp4bb] alternate confirmations of residues

2007-09-24 Thread Vineet Gaur
Hi all Sorry for a non CCP4 question. I m using CNS for structure refinement. The structure is having few residues in alternate confirmations. i can see the density for those alternate confirmations. i m defining those alternate confirmations in the pdb but while generating the topology file, the

You havent got an incorrect CISPEP definition lurking in the PDB file have you - COOT does NOT correct these so if you rebuild something which has been previously flagges as CISPEP ( and that can happen if a very ugly omega angle falls to 89.999 ) then it stays that way in the PDB output from

Well - PDBSET gives you the X Y and Z dimensions. ( pdbset xyzin thismol.pdb end If you want to align the protein along its principal axes, I usually run the TABLING function of Amore. That takes a model, moves its CofM to the origin and aligns it in such a way. Eleanor Vineet Gaur

Hi Graeme, I suppose you refer to the poster that was presented by Annette Faust, Andrea Schmidt, Victor Lamzin and Manfred Weiss from EMBL Hamburg with the title: Lysozyme crystals - ready to use. In this poster they present crosslinking of lysozyme crystals with styrene and/or glutaraldehyde

Saavas and Tommi, The questions of what is the detergent content of a membrane protein crystal and how to explicitly determine the amount of detergent in a crystal are extremely difficult to address. Moreover, is it worthwhile to even attempt to correct the Matthews coefficient? I

Phil, For the record, the program XPREP - widely used by small molecule crystallographers but also useful for macromoleculess - always makes the conventional cell (in this example P 21 21 2) the default (i.e. what you get if you always hit Enter), and writes out new .hkl and .ins files in

Phil, It also affects centred monoclinic: to avoid some cases of beta 120 you have to use the I121 setting instead of C121 (and it is a conventional setting, see IT vol. A pp.126-7). For example the conventional (but non-standard) I121 setting: a=50 b=60 c=51 beta=90.2 would I think be

Hi Phil, Just in case anyone was used to the old default behaviour (and like to use the current version of Arp/wArp ;oD) could you ensure that there is an option which will allow the automatic reindexing to the old default setting? Thanks, Graeme From:

[ccp4bb] mosflm orientation matrix and symmetry

2007-09-24 Thread Bryan W. Lepore
does the mosflm orientation matrix specify the crystal system and only the crystal system? i.e, given an orientation matrix from autoindexing, it would be correct to simply use keyword 'SYMMETRY SPACEGROUP' in mosflm to refine then integrate in any of the spacegroups within a given crystal
