[ccp4bb] residuewise rmsd for multiple chain superposition

Dear all,    Is there any software which will print the RMSDs (residue wise, and not chain wise) for more-than-2 chains (having similar/same sequences) superposed together? Thanks in advance, sreetama

Dear Sreetama, theseus can superpose multiple structures and reports RMSD per residue. http://www.theseus3d.org/ If your sequences are not identical and you want least squares superposition, run it like this: theseus_align -l -f *.pdb This will produce several output files. The file

Hi, I'm sure there's a way to do this in CCP4, but using some little jiffy programs I've collected over the years... That's a 133 degree rotation around an axis defined by the unit vector 0.290647, 0.624977, 0.724519, and there's a small screw component of about 2.4A along the axis, so it's

Hi Francis, a quick insertion of your rotation matrix into CONVROT (by Alexandre Urzhumtsev) gives the following equivalent polar rotation angles (definition as in X-PLOR/CNS or Rossmann, 1962): phi,psi,kappa : 111.86 128.68 133.38 291.86 51.32 226.62 For a proper two-fold,

Re: [ccp4bb] proper or improper ncs?

Francis, It's very easy to spot a 2-fold rotation or screw because the matrix must be symmetric (or nearly so)**. Your matrix very obviously is not (i,e, A12 ne A21, A13 ne A31 etc). ** Proof: A rotation matrix is orthogonal, which implies inverse = transpose: A^-1 = A~. A 2-fold rotation is

Sounds exactly like something is off in your site.def file. I would look to the beam center. Also, have you tried indexing with another program? Mosflm perhaps. I find that if one program cannot index the data, another usually can (as long as the data isn't too horrible!). Thus I always try to

Hi, everybody, In addition to all comments, just as a pleasure to remind an old-fashion no computer way to calculate the rotation angle. The trace of a rotation matrix (the sum of its diagonal elements) is always equal to 2*cos(kappa)+1. Calculate it yourself for kappa = 180° and compare with

Hello Peter- Is it possible that you are shooting close to an axis? If you are shooting near parallel to one of the crystal axis, you will get values that are reasonable for 2 cell lengths but extremely low values for the third. Try indexing a frame that is say 30 degrees into the collection

This is a possibility, but probably you should be able to get the initial index in this situation. The integration is a different story. To fix that problem, usually you can change the def.site fix with: {alig,1} {180} as opposed to 0. -Todd -Original Message- From: CCP4 bulletin

Well, depends on what 'aggregated' really means. If it implies reasonably weak oligomerization interaction - and it might not be too strong given that the oligomers remain soluble - a chaotropic crystallization agent (on the extreme end certain high salts, consult Hofmeister for chaotropicity)
