If you are afraid by the possible low incorporation of selenium in your protein, and if you have some cysteines into your sequence, you can try the double labeling --> Structure, Vol. 11, 1359–1367, November, 2003. It works at the first try for me and I had no change in crystallization conditions.

[ccp4bb] Do carbon scattering include hydrogen

Persons of interest: I understood that refinements in refmac of low res structures without hydrogens includes a component of the Hydrogen atom attached to the carbon in the carbon scattering factors. Or is this just if the Hydrogen atoms  are in the riding position. If so, why bother to add hydrog

Hi, creative language, you say... ha-ha. Go through this: A number of publications define ultrahigh or subatomic resolution in the range of 1.0–0.5A (Lecomte et al., 2008; Petrova et al., 2006; Howard et al., 2004; Guillot et al., 2008; Housset et al., 2000). Right? When you see ultra-high resolu

I too think the phrase super-resolution is rather misleading, in particular the analogy with light microscopy methods. Super-resolution in these latter cases is achieved via different physical phenomena (think excitations not waves). Would one claim super-resolution when refining the relativ
