[ccp4bb] Co-purified ligand present in protein crystal

2017-08-20 Thread WENHE ZHONG
Dear CCP4BB members, We would like to identify a ligand that is present in crystal structure (according to strong positive densities at active site) but absent in crystallization condition. We already have some candidates in mind based on our knowledges on this protein but we need to validate

Hi Zach, It seems the residues which you are discussing belong to an helix. It is not clear what is the present Rfree, however the residues side chains are not properly fitting. Did you use real space refinement in coot using helix secondary structure constraints? Hopefully it will push Asn

Hello again, and thank you for your quick replies! For your consideration, I have added a representative .mtz and .pdb to my shared dropbox folder

Re: [ccp4bb] "reset" a structure before re-refinement

2017-08-20 Thread Tim Gruene
Dear Matthias, the idea of paired refinement is to quantify the amount of information in your structure. For that purpose it is most likely counterproductive to disturb your parameter at all! In the worst case you end up comparing different structures. Use the very same structure, do not

Re: [ccp4bb] normalization of B-factor values from different crystal structures

Dear Asmita, (and all who may be interested) In Gourinath & Himmel et al. Structure 11:1621-1627 (2003), I normalized B-factors of several crystal structures for comparisons, using a simple applications of statistics. Any such analysis must be viewed with caution, of course, because it

Thanks James for your reply. I my naive way, I thought that when doing paired refinement, it would be sufficient to run several cycles of refinement with simulated annealing followed by a thorough real space rebuilding. What is your thought about using the "jiggling" of additional cartesian

[ccp4bb] Protein quantitaion based on extiction coefficient versus peptide bond

2017-08-20 Thread anita patil
Dear Members,How well is extinction coefficient based protein concentration measurement accuracy established. It seems that several monograph based protein HPLC assays use 214 for the same. How accurate are extinction coefficients for the same proteins. Is there any consensus if which one
