[ccp4bb] Refmac: sidechain bond breaks

2011-01-17 Thread Marcus Fislage
Dear all, I might excuse myself for the silly question but it is the first time I solve an x-ray structure. After modell building in coot and running of refmac with restrained refinement I have the problem that the pdb output file contains distances between e.g. ILE Cb and Cg that are so long

2011-01-17 Thread Eleanor Dodson
Well - REFMAC and I think other refinement programs simply read in an atom with occupancy 0.00 and write it out again in exactly the same place.. All refinement contributions for atoms both Xray and geometrical are weighted by the atom occupancy so such an atom will not shift. The assumption

Not without running it under the debugger. Since this is my program I suppose I should look at it (if you send me the file) Phil On 17 Jan 2011, at 11:17, James Foadi wrote: Dear CCP4ers, does anyone understand where the problem is? The run is from the program rebatch. Keywords are:

Dear Marcus The most likely reason is that geometry is a bit loose. You need to tighten it a bit. You can do by decreasing weight using weight matrix option on the interface. You need also check the electron density to make sure that ILE is in electron density. Please let me know if you

Re: [ccp4bb] phaser MR hiccup

2011-01-17 Thread Randy Read
Hi Eleanor, A bit more context about what Phaser was doing at the time might help... As a first guess, it looks like there was an odd character in a text file (PDB file?). Do you have a PDB file with funny line terminators or something like that? Regards, Randy On 17 Jan 2011, at 11:50,

Re: [ccp4bb] how to generate density map of selected residues

2011-01-17 Thread Herman . Schreuder
Hello Michael and others, Sorry that my statement did cause some confusion. There is nothing wrong with the carve option as such. I also use it very regularly. It is only the way of using which matters. If you have good density and carve at a sufficient distance around your region of

Marcus, it appears that coot breaks bonds when the distance between atoms exceeds 1.64A pretty much irrespective of the bond type. Two exceptions are, of course, sulfurs in MET/CYS. CB-SG bond in cysteine does not seem to have any cutoff (when you do rotate/translate zone in coot, you can move
