Hi Emmanuel - You might consider using MSMS. If you wish to visualize it, there is a PyMOL script available: http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Msms. Relatedly, one should keep in mind that, while a 10 or 50 Angstrom probe will give you a general idea of accessible surface, if there is any shape

Hi there, I have an off-toptic question about Graphics card. My searches on pymolwiki and ccp4bb archives resulted in the following conclusion: Coot and pymol are not compatible with the new GeForce graphics cards. Hoewver, most of the posts I found were from 2009 and 2010. Does anyone here hav

BS"D Dear Alex, I'm not sure why you think the new Geforce cards will be an issue. Please clarify. As far as stereo is concerned, Geforce cards only give stereo under Windows, not Linux. If you want stereo under Linux you need the Quadro cards with the stereo option (for example, Quadro

Hi Alex, Thanks for asking before buying. You've avoided a common mistake. If you want to do 120 Hz stereoscopic 3D you must have a Quadro card. GeForce cards, even the really expensive ones, are made for games (and DirectX) not science. I've seen people pay upwards of $1000 for a top-of-the-line

Hi, They might be, but please be aware that nearly all scientific applications use OpenGL for drawing and 3D. Many games use DirectX, an MS standard, for that. The capabilities differ by standard (OpenGL vs DirectX), hardware (NVidia GeForce, NVidia Quadro, AMD, Intel, etc) and operating system.

Maybe you can try different energies hoping that damage is wavelength dependent.  It must be dose dependent though, so you may consider merging short sweeps from multiple crystals. Original message From: Uma Ratu Date: To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: [ccp4bb] S-nitrosyl
