Re: [ccp4bb] Question about R/Rfree value difference

2010-07-07 Thread Tim Gruene
Dear Sampath, You are right, the gap between R and Rfree is significant and indicates that your model was overfitted. Without knowing your data or your model, some reasons for overfitting might be: - you used automated placement of water molecules (e.g. through arpwaters or in coot) and never ch

Hi Sampath, this is how the distribution of Rwork, Rfree and Rfree-Rwork look like for 'all' PDB structures refined at around 2A resolution. The "<<<" indicates where your structure stands with respect to this distribution. Histogram of Rwork for models in PDB at resolution 1.90-2.10 A: 0

[ccp4bb] Question about R/Rfree value difference

2010-07-07 Thread Sampath Natarajan
Dear all, I have a question about the R free value. I refined a structure with 2A resolution. After model building and restraint refinement using Refmac program, the average B factor was around 50 for all atoms. The R/Rfree were around 22/34. Then used the TLS refinement choosing entire molecule.

Traditionally, the Protein Data Bank (PDB) has been accessed mostly by PDB accession code, or by searches based on information regarding, for instance, a publication, a molecule name, a sequence or a related 3D structure. While these methods are valuable for locating a specific PDB entry or grou

[ccp4bb] Calculate the portion of the density within a mask

2010-07-07 Thread Hailiang Zhang
Hi, I want to calculate the portion of the "noise" density with respect to the whole unit cell (assuming the model is good enough). I plan to first calculate the integral density within the whole unit cell, then build a atom mask around the molecule and calculate the integral density within the ma

Re: [ccp4bb] HIGH B ANISOTROPIC VALUES

2010-07-07 Thread Frederic VELLIEUX
The "rule" is that the average isotropic temperature factor for your protein atoms should not differ too wildly from the Wilson B-factor of the data set (when you convert your anisotropic B's to isotropic B's). Otherwise there is no such thing as an acceptable or unacceptable value, the value is

Dear Anja, I'm not sure why you want the orientation of the molecule in pymol, but working out the orientation of the crystal at phi=0 is straightforward in imosflm. Read the image, index it and go to Strategy". In the strategy pane it gives the angles between the a,b,c a

HI ALL, Thanks Dirk and Pavel for clearing up the discrepancy between the R values going from Refmac5 to SF-check. On the same note, i have a large anisotropic B factor( atomic model) once I carry out the TLSANL process. Is there an acceptable value for this? cheers rakesh

Re: [ccp4bb] How to orient molecules in pymol according to the crystal orientation during data collection?

2010-07-07 Thread Tim Gruene
Dear Anja, every integration software determines and most likely also prints the orientation matrix of the crystal's unit cell w.r.t. the laboratory coordinate system. With XDS, this matrix can be found in GXPARM.XDS, with mosflm you entered that matrix' name when you refined the cell parameters.

Hi there, we were taking UV/ vis spectra of a protein crystal that show different features depending on the crystal orientation in the beam. The question is now how to correlate the UV/ vis spectra with the solved structure. We know that it has a special feature at e.g. image 1 (0°). So how can we
