Dear all, A HERCULES special course on non-crystallographic X-ray and neutron scattering techniques for structural biology is organised by the ESRF, ILL and EMBL-Grenoble from the 14th to the 19th of September. Dead line for registration: 1st of June. Objective of the course: This HERCULES S

[ccp4bb] Twin refinement in Refmac

2014-05-22 Thread ulrich.goh...@mdc-berlin.de
Dear colleagues, I am in the process of refining a P2(1) structure that is marked by Scala as twinned (L-test etc.) with a twinning fraction of ca. 0.2. I am still working on the twinning problem, so no more details about this. But what puzzles me right now is that, if I feed the data with a m

Dear Uli, It seems that you are dealing with psued-twinning when cell do not overlap after rotation with twin operator. In these case what is in one resolution on one of the orientation becomes another resolution in another orientation of crystals In short:. You have an operator R that relates

Dear Garib, thanks for the clarification. I'll go back to the raw data and check for split spots at high resolution (and give Mosflm a try; initially, the data were integrated with XDS). Cheers, Uli --- dr ulrich gohlke

[ccp4bb] pdb insertion codes

Dear CCP4bb, Does anyone know a simple way to get rid of residue number insertion codes and then renumber residues normally in pdb files? Help much appreciated, David David Hargreaves Associate Principal Scientist _ AstraZene

Dear David, mrtailor-gui (http://shelx.uni-ac.gwdg.de/~tg/research/programs/mrtailor/) might do this if you have the sequence file in clustalx format, although I have not tested mrtailor w.r.t. insertion code due to lack of an example. If you cannot get it to work, I would not mind to use your PDB

[ccp4bb] Off topic: Homology modeling

2014-05-22 Thread Theresa Hsu
Dear all I am working with a membrane protein without known structure. The closest protein in PDB has 10% sequence identity/25% similarity to my protein. What is the best method and software to do homology modeling while I try to get the crystal? Is the ligand binding site prediction reliable?

Re: [ccp4bb] Off topic: Homology modeling

2014-05-22 Thread Joel Tyndall
Hi Theresa, I tackled a similar problem recently using modeller (Andrej Sali) which worked well. In the case of my transporter (or any model) your homology model will only be as good as the starting structure (resolution etc) and your sequence identity. I found that the homologues that I was lo

Hi all, Sorry to be a bother, I am having an issue with using sharp/autosharp through CCP4 Mac app. I have all the latest software for everything and successfully installed both the ccp4 and sharp (as well as ArpWarp and shelx through ccp4). My issue is i must set these variables in a terminal:

Re: [ccp4bb] Off topic: Homology modeling

2014-05-22 Thread Eric Bennett
One possible outcome is: (a) if the two proteins bind similar ligands and (b) you know which part of the xray structure of the solved protein is binding the ligand and (c) you can use this information to tweak the alignment and determine that there is higher identity/similarity in the ligand bin
