[ccp4bb] So many clashes

2011-01-18 Thread Careina Edgooms
Dear CCP4 bulletin board I am trying to solve structure with molecular-replacement. I have got good solution using Phaser. The refined structure fits well to electron density and appears reasonable in terms of geometry, ramachandran, rotamers etc. The problem I experience is that there are

- look at the clashes one by one and fix them, using your biochemical knowledge and common sense - make sure there are no mistakes in the protein sequence used (resequence if necessary), a few amino acids may be different from what you expect and, combined with local ambiguous density, lead to

Dear Careina, Keep in mind that MolPrrobity does not see symmetry (unlike RefDens or WHAT_CHECK). This means that the clashes that may come from having the wrong spacegroup are not detected. Good luck, Robbie Joosten Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2011 10:52:48 +0100 From: mjvanra...@cnb.csic.es

If your dataextends to 2A resolution I suggest you run Arp-Warp or Buccaneer to rebuild the structure. At that resolution the automated building programd can usually fix errors. At the end use this option to get the new build back to overlap the original csymmatch -pdbin-ref MR.pdb -pdbin

Hi Careina, Are you using riding hydrogens during refinement? The default in Refmac is to use hydrogens only if present in the input file - change this setting under the Refinement Parameters to generate all hydrogens. This significantly helps with clashes. Also, did you check the quality of
