[ccp4bb] Pisa application

2012-08-08 Thread Careina Edgooms
Dear ccp4ers I just wonder whether anybody knows if the PISA software could be used/modified to detect potential interfaces of interaction of different proteins? This would be very useful as a tool to validate protein-protein interactions detected by in vivo methods such as yeast 2 hybrid

Before any further attempts you must check that the crystals have the same unit cell volume. I usually do this using matthewscoeff from the GUI ( By the way why isn't the volume automatically written into the mtz header asap!!!) If the cell volumes differ by as much as 5% no reindexing or any

A technical remark in relation to the CC1/2, XDS issue: Refmac currently reports Rfactors vs. resolution shells (i.e. Rw/Rf in each resolution shell). That is useful for one aspect of the analysis, however, in the K D paper, it's the change in overall Rfactors vs. resolution that is

Eleanor But is the R factor a good way to assess this? - in fact who cares if R looks worse, the goal of structure refinement after all is certainly not to get a better R factor! The R factor if it's anything is a measure of comparative model quality, not comparative data quality. What I mean is

Hi I would like to know whether it is possible to get to know the number of molecules (helices) present in a coiled coil based on its XRD pattern. I only know that for coiled coil there will be a meridian arc around 5.1 A (corresponding to helical repeat) and an equatorial arc around 10 A

While building our crystal structure model we encountered density which we weren't able to assign. The unknown molecule/molecules seems to coordinate a Ni^2+ -ion. This ion is also coordinated by a histidin and probably one H_2 O-molecule. The crystals have been grown from a protein-complex
