Coot ,Pymol or Mumbo are all software can be used to mutate residues of PDB. Rotamers can adjust by Coot and you can use Mumbo to do energy minimisation .As for Pymol ,the powerful fig maker ,is not good choice to do this . Maybe Chimera is another choice . But I have not use it before. So

Hi there Assuming you have a model of the complex you are interested in tinkering with, try submitting it to the Rosetta Alanine Scanning servery thing. http://robetta.bakerlab.org/alascansubmit.jsp By default, it mutates each residue in the interface to ala, does some local minimisation (side

Dear Wim, I suppose that the solvent content would influence the Wilson plot and also the distribution of atoms in the unit cell, I would not be too alarmed about the discrepancy. Interestingly, the Wilson plot of the Fcalc values is about 60 A2 as for Fobs in the output dataset. As far

Then I think it is the problem of fitting the TF parameters into low resolution data. REFMAC tries to use the lowest ( 9A) data to get the solvent B factor and then after applying that correction to get an overall B. Many Wilson plot programs only use the data from 4A out, with the belief that

This reminds me of a potential problem with low resolution data that you might have: if any strong reflection (or a couple of them) is only partially measured, because it is in the half-shadow of the beamstop, then the measured intensity is too small, which in turn results in a too low

Eventually you will have to make the mutant for a reviewer. So in silico will only give you perhaps some ideas but there's no way of avoiding wetlab. Jürgen On 2 Dec 2008, at 22:38, Hongmin Zhang wrote: Thanks! I think we still can't tell if the mutant would disturb ligand binding or not.

Hi, another possibility to avoid the problems Dirk is mentioning: mask the beamstop correctly during data processing. Usually, each data processing package has some tools for doing this (and sometimes even an automatic procedure might actually work ... but I wouldn't rely on it without checking).

I should have given the precision that the problem remains unaffected by a change of the resolution range (even if I use for example only 4.5 to 3 A resolution). I am not using TLS and the data are quite isotropic. Rcryst values are as expected for such a structure. Anopther 3.5 A dataset does
