[ccp4bb] How to show density map in pymol?

2007-10-31 Thread yang li
Hi All, If I want to show the density map in pymol--like coot open mtz file--, what format should I use? It seems pymol doesnot recognise the mtz format . Thanks!

Dear Ray: The Crystal Screen I is based on a screen that was developed over a period of years in Sung-Hou Kim's lab, and is heavily weighted with conditions that were successful for obtaining the protein crystals that were particular to his lab at that time (which was when I was a graduate

[ccp4bb] Sliding window net charge program?

2007-10-31 Thread Jacob Keller
Hello all, does anybody know of a program which calculates net charge within a sliding window of user-defined size? Hydropathy programs are almost this, but not quite--they use absolute values rather than the signed ones (what is the opposite of an absolute value called? the relative value?).

2007-10-31 Thread Stein, ND (Norman)
Yes, as the twinning fraction increases from 0 to 0.5, the cumulative intensity distribution curve changes in a continuous way from untwinned to perfectly twinned. The exact way in which it does this was calculated by Rees (Acta A 36, 578 (1980)). Note that the variation is markedly non-linear -

There are some screens for sale based on experiences of large Structural Genomics consortia, the JCSG (+) screen is an example. Screens like these are often biased towards the type of organism targeted by the consortium (e.g. eukaryotic/prokaryotic) Flip -Original Message- From: CCP4

Hello, I usually try out Hampton crystal screen I II, and PEG/ion screens on my proteins, sometimes varying protein concentrations and incubation temperature. If no hints are obtained, I will go back to test alternative constructs and purification protocols. With more and more companies

[ccp4bb] Programs for analysing the drugability of a small-molecule binding pocket

Dear colleagues, I am looking for a computational method to assess reliably the drugability of a small- molecule binding pocket (volume, surface, interaction potential etc.) on a protein surface. Any recommandations and experiences are welcome! Many thanks in advance! Karsten Niefind

Hi, Could anyone give a quick hint for the Fortran format for the following structure factor mmCIF file? or Is there any easy program or better way to convert it? I think I need to skip first 3 columns. Thanks in advance. Joe loop_ _refln.crystal_id _refln.wavelength_id _refln.scale_group_code

If you want to roll your own... If you add the data_xxx line to make this a legal CIF, you should be able to read it with ciftbx if you are working in a Fortran application or CBFlib if you are working in a C application. You will find a variety of CIF tools pointed to from the IUCr web site
