I agree completely with Anastassis that the equilibrium will be effected by changing the concentration of the sample during gel filtration, however I wanted to point out that the elution volumes of the two species are independent of their populations. I apologize if I was misleading. Mike ---

[ccp4bb] advice for processing data from multiple small wedges

2010-08-11 Thread Tony Wu
I am having problems processing data from multiple wedges of 5-20 degrees each. I am working with data from microcrystals collected at a minibeam. I want to use the data for molecular replacement. I can usually only collect about 10-15 frames before the crystal is obviously radiation damaged.

If you cant import a file with symmetry labelled R32 but with a=b and alpha=beta = 90, and gamma = 120 then something is wrong - the symmetry checking looks at both name and cell.. or at least it used to.. The output mtz would have symmetry name changed to H32, but that is just a name - in ea

Hi, I have read all of the past messages about the confusion of H32 and R32 and I want to get the correct indexing sp that I can import the .sca file into CCP4.. I use DENZO and SCALEPACK in HKL2000. If you read the manual then it states that space group R32 should only be autoindexed by DENZO

Hi Eleanor, I hate to disagree with you, even partially, but it depends on whether or not you're doing phase combination with external phases. In the usual case with just model information, SIGMAA doesn't take the absolute value of 2mFo-DFc so it can be positive or negative and goes with the o

Actually I think it needs the labels FWT PHWT I may be wrong but like REFMAC I think it outputs a ositive FWT and PHWT is either equal to PHIC or to PHHIC+180, depending on the sign og FWT = (2m|Fo| - D|Fc|) Eleanor Hailiang Zhang wrote: Dear Tim: This is also what I thought. Thanks! B

Dear all, If I may add that I find the statement "First, remember that gel filtration elution volumes are independent of conditions like flow rate and protein concentration (unless there are nonspecific interactions at high concentration), but like I described before temp is a factor."
