Dear all, I am wondering if there are publications, where it is shown that a ligand/substrate was not able to bind in one crystal form of a protein, but was found in another crystal form. In other words: is there a case where the crystal packing interactions are proofed to be responsible for

[ccp4bb] creating new ligand cif file

2010-06-21 Thread Paul Lindblom
Hi all, I need to create a cif file for a new ligand that does not exist in the pdb, so far. Normally refmac created such a cif file when I merged the ligand to the structure, but this time it stops with a fatal error. I think the alternatives are sketcher and the prodrg server. Can anybody tell

Hi Paul, Usually I just Sketch the molecule, I make sure that the bond types are OK (single, double, aromatic etc.) and I do an idealization in Sketcher, then use the resulting .cif file in RefMac. Flip Paul Lindblom wrote: Hi all, I need to create a cif file for a new ligand that does

There is an option in Phenix to generate the necessary cif file for Phenix refinement. But that's a Phenix file, not a REFMAC file (I think, I never tried taking the cif file generated by Phenix to use it in REFMAC). As an example, I am enclosing a cif file that was generated by Phenix for

Hi Paul, you can use PRODRG server at Dundee university ( http://davapc1.bioch.dundee.ac.uk/prodrg/ ) It generates libraries in different formats... you just need to copy/paste in your preferred text editor. HTH Marco Paul Lindblom wrote: Hi all, I need to create a cif file for a new

Prodrg does very good job in guessing atom types and bond orders. Once it guessed things right it does extremely good job in generating bond lengths, angles etc. But it still depends on accuracy of coordinates. You need to check carefully bonding orders before using them in refinement. You

Yang, There are not any merohedral twin laws, but there are several pseudomerohedral twinning possibilities. The most common would be a monoclinic cell with a beta ~90, so it appears orthorhombic. Going the other way, you could have an orthorhombic cell look tetragonal if A and B are
