Re: [ccp4bb] convert .cif to .mtz

2008-01-29 Thread Martyn Winn
The underlying program cif2mtz will convert everything it can recognise, i.e. it will convert intensities or amplitudes or both, depending on what is there. But what is actually in a PDB cif structure factor file varies greatly. For a start, there's a high chance there are no phases, so no map

I'm looking for a convenient way of converting a .cif structure factor file (from PDB) to a map-file (e.g. .mtz) to open with COOT for example..? Already tried ccp4i with 'Convert to/modify/extend MTZ', but got a bunch of errors when opening with coot.. doesn't coot have an 'import from EDS'

It has just worked for me? convert to mtz file type mmCIF then I had to put in my own cell and spacegroup. And I will have to calculate phases before I can use coot with it.. Eleanor Eleanor It looks like this.. # _audit.revision_id1_0 _audit.creation_date 2005-03-22

In recent coots, (This is 0.4.1, kendall, on a mac or linux) you no longer need to calculate fcalc and phases. If you choose auto open mtz and have at least one pdb file open, coot will ask you which pdb file to use to calculate fcalc and phases. (I guess it runs refmac then) and, voila,

[ccp4bb] Lipid not restrained during ShelX refinement

2008-01-29 Thread Neutze Gp. CCP4ibb account
Hi everyone, I am trying to build and refine a phosphatidylserine (PSF) lipid molecule, using ShelX for the refinment. I have taken the ideal coordinates from the Hic-up server and bond length/angles from PRODRG (see below). After approximately modelling the atom positions using Coot I started

2008-01-29 Thread Tim Gruene
The GUI actually is a quite convenient way. In my experience, however, the GUI or the program called by the GUI does not check whether the cif contains intensities or amplitudes. So you can use the GUI, look at the script it generates and adjust it according to the header in your cif. Tim --
