[ccp4bb] How to generate a complete viirus PDB

Dear all: I have one subunit PDB of one virus with a NCS record. Which program should I use to generate a complete virus PDB using the NCS? Thank you Hong Hsiang

Hi Hong, you can usually download the 'biological assembly' from the PDBe, be warned that for viruses this is rather large, cheers, Matt. On 25/04/2013 08:19, Guan Hong Hsiang wrote: Dear all: I have one subunit PDB of one virus with a NCS record. Which program should I use to

Hi Hong, I would recommend that you check out the services at the VIPERdb website http://viperdb.scripps.edu. It looks like the oligomer tool (http://viperdb.scripps.edu/oligomer_multi.php) might be useful for what you want to do. They have many of the virus structures from the PDB already

Hi, In continuation to the previous suggestion about using the 'Oligomer Generator' in viperdb. To use viperdb, your pdb needs to be in the viper format. So download any pdb (example this one : http://viperdb.scripps.edu/cgi-bin/viper_coord.cgi?VDB=1z14) and then superpose your monomer onto this

Hi Hong, In your PDB file if the BIOMT transformation matrix (under remark 350) is provided, you can use this script to generate the biological assembly : http://watcut.uwaterloo.ca/cgi-bin/makemultimer/ Greetings, Abhi On Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 9:31 AM, sujata halder

Dear Hong, As Eugene mentioned, you should be able to build the full virus assembly using PISA. Another option is to use the multiscale model menu of UCSF Chimera (default setting is Biological Assembly) to generate the complete virus assembly from PDB BIOMT records. If this is a new

Careina, One thing to try if other ideas don't work or are too difficult, is covalently (therefore unambiguously) labelling a little of your protein with a fluorescent dye. If you add 20 nL of this to the drop *after the crystals have grown*, protein crystals will light up, but salt crystals
