[ccp4bb] Pre-plated dry film fragment library

2009-11-10 Thread Vicki Nienaber
Dear all, For anyone interested in giving fragment screening a try, Zenobia has been offering a 352 compound fragment library designed to serve as a first-pass screen by x-ray crystallography (and other methods such as SPR, NMR) since March. The library was prepared and reviewed by experienced

[ccp4bb] ccp4i installation trouble

2009-11-10 Thread Martin Jinek
Dear CCP4 community, I have just upgraded to CCP4 6.1.2 and the accompanying Tcl/Tk v8.4.18 on Mac OSX. I am trying to setup ccp4i but I always get this error message. Application initialization failed: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories: /Users/Shared/

Dear Linda, NSMB asked me and Jim Wells to write an obit for Warren. With your permission we would like to include a quote of your CCP4 posting (or a reference to it - depending what NSMB decides to do). Warren's words summarize so much how we call remember him. I hope you are doing well. All

Re: [ccp4bb] optimizing ncs masks in DM + interpreting output

2009-11-10 Thread Klaus Fütterer
Francis, I still like to use Gerard Kleywegt's programme IMP (of the RAVE suite) to optimise NCS matrices before density modification in DM or other programs. Initial correlation coefficients (prior to solvent flattening) should be 20% or better. Below, the matrices are doubtful and densi

Re: [ccp4bb] Integration

2009-11-10 Thread Marian Szebenyi
Vin, This effect is what you see when the goniometer's rotation axis is not exactly perpendicular to the beam. HKL2000 is compensating for rotations that are actually due to goniometer misalignment by changing the crystal orientation angles. It does not cause any harm to your data, unless thi

[ccp4bb] optimizing ncs masks in DM + interpreting output

2009-11-10 Thread Francis E Reyes
Hi all I have a rotation + translation component for the 2-fold given to me by GETAX using low resolution low quality experimental maps. I understand that these are input into DM for NCS averaging. What are signs of progress as well as how does one usually optimize the mask? When doing a

[ccp4bb] Integration

2009-11-10 Thread Vin Purp
Hi, sorry for the non-ccp4 related question. I have one data set that yields peculiar results when I use HKL2000 (or 3000) to integrate it. Background: I have crystals that index to the I222 sg. I have shot and collected datasets, integrated, molreped and refined many hundreds of these same cr

2009-11-10 Thread Phoebe Rice
We've had good luck (sometimes) searching for nucleic acids with multiple small pieces - say ask it to find several 5bp chunks of DNA rather than one 20bp duplex. I think Bill Scott will agree? I have a hunch that searching for the protein 1st, at least at "modest" resolutions, may confuse the

Hi, Probably, you have not set up the environment correctly for the new user account. Source the correct ccp4.setup file depending on your shell. You can also put this into the configuration file specific for your shell (e.g. for bash: ~/.bashrc or for C-shell ~/.cshrc) for csh source /home/chanda

Hi Lisa, There are many things you can try and the phaser manual gives a lot of useful information what to do in difficult cases. From my experience, it is quite difficult to find solutions for MR with nucleic acids. I recommend to search only for protein. As a side effect you can use this approach

Hi all, I got one data about 3.0 A, belong to C2 space group. There are two protein molecules and one 18-nt dsRNA per ASU. The structure of last 100aa (C-terminal) has been reported, and 400 aa at N-terminalhe has homology structure with sequence identiy 30%. I try to solve it by MR with phaser. I
