[ccp4bb] setpaths.sh

2007-12-27 Thread Li Sheng
Dear All, I installed ccp4 6.0.2 on my fedora8 platform. It seems I need one extra file named "setpaths.sh", which I can not find in $CCP4/lib/cctbx/cctbx_build/� &� ${CCP4}/src/phaser/phaser-${phaser_version}/build/${phaser_mtype}/ Where can I get such a file? Thanks in advance. Sincerely,

Hi Li, setpaths.sh (and variants for other shells) are generated during the cctbx build process (with ccp4-6.0.2, this might happen only if you're installing phaser). If you're doing a source install from both ccp4-6.0.2.tar.gz and phaser-1.3.3-cctbx-src.tar.gz, and have extracted both of th

In general I think they should be ok. Some componenents may slowly oxidize or otherwise deteriorate, but as long as there is nothing growing in the solutions, you should be ok. If you experience irreproducibility when you try to follow up on a successful condition, it is good to keep in mind th

Dear CCP4 users, I'm sorry for non-ccp4 question. My lab is using protein crystalization screening from Hampton and Emerald. However I noticed the Expires Date was 05/2002. That means we are using the too old chemical. Could I ask your experience about this problem? Should I need to remove these ex

This is a tough question. Certainly, in an ideal world (and also in the world that e.g. Hampton or Emerald salespeople would like us to live in) you should replace expired reagents. The reality of course is that it's sometimes quite costly to do so. It is also expensive (in terms of time and effort

Dear all, I was about to write something quite related, but as the topic has just started ... I had better add my comments. I am just establishing a crystallization facility, but currently in my lab proteins to crystallize will be a rare opportunity (hopefully to increase the number duri

We used to freeze screens in 96-well deep blocks and plates - with no apparent issues :-) Some stuff crystallizes out but usually goes right back into solution. Artem _ From: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of iulek Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2007 7:39

The problem with old solutions is not their age as much as they might be very hard to reproduce, as you won't exactly know what you have. (for all the reasons that have been mentioned: evapouration, degradation, pH shifts, mould growth, contamination from people using the wrong pipette tip in a di
