[ccp4bb] prime-and-switch question

2008-04-13 Thread Yolanda
Hi Thomas,Hi all, I have used the amazing software prime-and-switch before,it is quite helpful. I have read through your article Using prime-and-switch phasing to reduce model bias in molecular replacement , but it is hard for me to understand. So what I am concerned is the basic

Dear Yolanda, Here is the basic idea of prime-and-switch phasing: We calculate phases from a model. These phases are mostly correct, but may have incorrect peaks at the coordinates of some misplaced atoms in the model. Next we are going to go through our reflections one by one. We calculate a

[ccp4bb] Ligand Binding

2008-04-13 Thread Rajan Pillai
Hi All, I want to confirm the binding of the substrate in the active site of the enzyme by soaking crystals of the apo-protein with the substrate. I generated a Fobs_lig - Fobs_apo difference electron density map. Inspection of the map did not show the characteristic electron density of the
