[ccp4bb] Phaser question

2013-12-05 Thread vellieux
Hiyya all, I have a question about the latest Phaser output, concerning TFZ = and TFZ == . I do not know how to interpret outputs of the type TFZ = 5.2 TFZ == 54.1; TFZ = 5.8 TFZ == 63.0; TFZ = 6.4 TFZ == 19.7 (these are real TFZ figures coming from Phaser log files). I used to analyse

Hi Fred, Send me the logfiles (off-line), because this shouldn't be happening and I'd like to have a look. That said, we've been seeing some similar problems in certain circumstances, i.e. B-factor refinement refines to significant negative B-factor values, and data at high resolution have

[ccp4bb] rotation peak number in new version phaser

2013-12-05 Thread LISA
hi all, I try to solve the crystal structures of a mult-domain protein with phaser. I cannot solve the structure by automatic search using domain structure as the models. I tried to do the rotation search using the fast or brute rotation function. I defined the rotation search peaks number is

Dear Careina – Orthogonal crystallization methods can be of great utility when optimizing crystallization conditions, since they offer a different sampling of the crystallization space. Orthogonal methods include: liquid-liquid diffusion, microbatch and dialysis. Liquid-liquid diffusion is

Hi, can you give a bit more information... Can you concentrate the protein easily to a higher concentration, let's say 2-3 times from what you have now, without precipitation? What is the buffer of your protein stock solution at the moment? At

Hi All On similar lines, I have been trying to optimize crystallization conditions for my protein. Initially, I had showers of needles in a PEG screen which did not really improve after screening around the condition. So, I seeded these needles into all the screens that I have available and I

depending on how extensively you have screened so far, the most efficient thing to do may be to change the protein: different orthologs, truncations, mutagenesis of entropy rich clusters, change of tag location or tag cleavage etc. From: CCP4 bulletin board
