If you show symmetry mates I'm sure the ones Coot found outside your protein are actually in the sites you are missing. Nothing to worry, just safe the symmetry mate and read in those coordinates merge with your current model. Jürgen .. Jürgen Bosch Johns Hopkins University

Dear Giovanna and Bosch: Thank you for your advices. I tried the way as you suggested, but not work. Here is how I did: 1. Center on the ligand density, and Find ligand Right here. 2. Increase Fo-Fc at 3 sigma or reduce 2Fo-Fc maps to 0.8 sigma. Coot failed to recognize the density. You do

Re: [ccp4bb] Find ligand with WinCoot

2012-10-24 Thread Bosch, Juergen
That's not what I suggested. you have a tetramer and you have found two ligands within the protein and two ligands outside your protein - right ? Now if you merge those 4 found ligands with your protein and then turn on symmetry mates you will find that the two ligands which were shown outside

[ccp4bb] small proteins that do not crystallize

Hello everybody, I'm looking for small proteins (up to 150 aa) that are known to express reasonably in E. coli, are soluble and folded but failed to crystallize. Can you provide some examples, especially of proteins that might be interesting for a broad community? Thanks, Karolina

Dear members, I have one difficult task on hand and would like to ask for your advice. I want to superpose two enzyme structures just based on several residues (e.g. 5 residues) which we are interested in. But these two structures do not have similarity for overall structures. In this case, I

Re: [ccp4bb] CCP4superpose_only superpose interesting residues

Hi Wenhe, Superpose allows you to specify residue (as well as Ca/main chain/side chain) ranges. Also in COOT you can select the range of residues used in the LSQ superpose calculation. For superposing parts of the proteins only, a little trick is to cut the interested fragments from the
