Congratulations to George! Citations are an interesting sociopolitical phenomenon, particularly when it comes to methods. Most people cite computer programs that they used, but certainly not all of them, and almost never cite "laboratory tricks". Case in point: one would think that T.-Y Teng

Dear structural biologists, I'm sure some of you have been there before: you'd like to perform docking experiments with your favorite crystal structure in your favorite cryoEM map. Only problem is, the authors of the cryoEM study simply refuse to send you their maps, and they're not available in

Ian Thanks - I did get my terminology wrong and terminology IS important. The merohedral is incorrect for this case but I then confused things further. My interest was really what happened in the observed diffraction pattern. With the large difference in the orthorhombic cell dimensions, the spot

Hi, A few weeks ago, I have already cited renin as such an example. With two slightly differerent molecules in the asu, certain inhibitors bind only to one of them and the other renin molecule is empty. Look at 2G24 for example in the PDB. Molecule A is loaded, while B is empty. The difference in

Hi there, I have ccp4 installed on my linux system, and I wonder whether I could directly use the ccp4 commands (sigmaa, dm...) in my C/C++ code. I don't need too advanced manipulation in ccp4 clipper, just the regular ccp4 commands. Thanks! Hailiang

Hi Clemens, Refmac 5.5.0072 defaults to automatically adding waters to existing TLS groups without telling you the TLS definition in the TLS header or the log file. So you are looking at residual B's. You cannot convert these to full TLS+residual B's using tlsanl since the details of which water
