I think you have solved it! That is an excellent LLG and if you can't see anything else in the map, then there s prob. not another molecule. Does it refine? If you look at the maps following refinement any missing features should become more obvious. Solvent content of 65% is not uncommon.

[ccp4bb] superposing multiple structural segments between two PDBs

2014-03-19 Thread sreetama das
Dear All, Is there a way to superpose multiple, discontinuous stretches of residues between two protein chains ? Dali output shows that there are discontinuous stretches between the PDBs that are being aligned. But I can not find any option to download the superposed PDB. The

In this case, editing the pdb file is probably the best approach. However, my favorite approach is Validate Difference Map Peaks. By pressing . (next peak) or , (previous peak), one can quickly go through all problems (red density) or unexplained peaks (green density). The pointer will be

didn't know about the trick to move the pointer (and for some reason it doesn't work on my computer at home but does at work). and yes, editing pdb files by hand has to be done carefully - however, I find that editing the pdb file (before refinement), is sometimes the quickest way for me, and

Dear Sreetama, For this, Gesamt from ccp4 should do the work. Run gesamt without parameters to get instructions, they are basically the same as for ccp4's superpose. HTH, Eugene On 19 Mar 2014, at 07:34, sreetama das wrote: Dear All, Is there a way to superpose multiple,

Dear CCP4 users, I am doing a molecular replacement with Phaser and I am using more than one ensemble for the search. How could I, once that one of them has been placed, fix it as a solution in order to be able to provide an additional fragment for further MR search? I have a second doubt about

Yes in the first couple of rounds of refinement it refines very well for a 3.2 angstrom structure (Now at 30%/24% Rfree/R). Everything Packs contiguously except for a donut hole in between six dimers that are related by symmetry. Trying to put a molecule there disrupts the symmetry and leads to

Hello, My protein is 26 kDa and the resolution of the data is 1.90 angs. My ligand is 174 Daltons. and it was soaked into the crystal. Ligand is colored and the crystal after soaking takes up intense color. However if we soak more than optimum, the color deepens in intensity but the crystal

Before putting in the ligand, there is a clear density for three extra atoms at more than 3 sigma in the Fo-Fc map but for other atoms the density appears around those 3 peaks in the 2Fo-Fc map only and not in the Fo-Fc. Thanks for your reply. Amit On Wed, Mar 19, 2014 at 8:57 PM, Sampson,

Hi, First, there is nothing magical about contouring a map at 1 rms. The standard deviation of the electron density values really has no relationship to the rms of those values, and appears to generally be much smaller. This is discussed quite brilliantly in the recent paper

Dear Yarrow your toroidal structure suggests that the protein may actually have the propensity to assemble as such in solution, hinting a connection to a biologically relevant state. Do you have any experimental information that it does so? e.g. via SAXS, MALS, native PAGE etc.? best regards
