[ccp4bb] Shortest distance between side chains

Hi I am wondering if there is a simple program that would convert a pdb file into a matrix that shows the smallest distance between all pairs of amino-acid side chains? Thanks, Misha To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB lis

Re: [ccp4bb] Shortest distance between side chains

Dear Misha, There is a program in ccp4 called contacts that will give you this information. You can alter entry parameters to show you the relevant information. I think you can also try PISA server from EMBL-EBI.  I reckon both these programs show you all distances and you may have to manually pi

Re: [ccp4bb] Shortest distance between side chains

Yes - contacts or distang gives you a list of distances. PISA a list of h bonds and salt bridges - all with associated sym ops. But none produce a complete table - PISA output prob the best. Eleanor distang gives you this sort of information but i guess it is far too detailed? R 125 NA R

Re: [ccp4bb] sugestions on weak diffracting protein crystals

Hi Deepak In my opinion, rMMS microseeding, ie adding crushed seed crystals into *random screens*, should be used routinely in most crystallization projects. It gives much more control, in particular you can control the number of crystals per drop. In a case like this, I would use it straight aw
