Re: [ccp4bb] Protein is dimmer in solution, hard to build two chains in crystal structure

2018-08-20 Thread Maben, Zachary
Hello, I second Sudipta's point. I had a dataset at 3.3 angstrom resolution that was initially indexed as P21 21 21, but did not produce a convincing MR solution. The trick was performing the MR search for all possible spacegroups in the pointgroup. The correct spacegroup was P2 21 21.

Hello Zhou, How sure are you about the space group of the solution? Any signs of twinning or t-NCS? Best, Sudipta. On Mon, Aug 20, 2018, 7:36 PM SUBSCRIBE CCP4BB Zhu Qiao < jasonqia...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All > > My protein is dimer both in protein buffer and crystallisation reservoir, >

?Hello Zhu, The implication being that one can have half of a dimer in the asymmetric unit without any issues (biological or crystallographic). And having a R/Rfree after a bit of refinement of the values you report for a 3 A data set is not that far off from being appropriate. Best of

Hi All My protein is dimer both in protein buffer and crystallisation reservoir, which is confirmed by calibration column Supderdex 200 10/300 increase. The crystal can diffract to 3 and the space group was determined to be P212121. The solvent content and Matthews coefficient shows 1 copy,

Re: [ccp4bb] Can H-clashes be ignored ?

2018-08-20 Thread Jan Dohnalek
We focus mainly on non-H clashes. Careful inspection of H-clashes can sometimes lead to an improvement of the structure (better conformer). Very often we find the listed H-clashes "unavoidable", i.e. under the given data and converged refinement we cannot do anything anyway. So a very serious
