A spectre is haunting structural biology - it is the spectre of the PDBx format. We at CCP4 are interested in providing tools that are equivalents of those that one might have trivially made with utilities such as grep or sed. For example:     delete the hydrogen atoms     extract the

You can also look at your anomalous maps. For most energies/wavelengths used to collect protein data, f" for K will be just under 2x the f" for S while for Na f" will be much less (0.2-0.25 of S). So you can use S atom anomalous as an internal reference. If you see anomalous peaks at your S

Cool, typed a long reply but only about 1/3 of it is still relevant and is given below. The crystal would have to be capillary mounted for these data collections or the humidity controlled somehow. Only 253 K would be a good one to use. Pre-cryo, this used to give good data at SRS! Interested

Is that the right way round? Atomic no K 19, Na 11 Call something K when it should be NA - B factor will shoot to reduce the atom contribution. Call something Na when it should be K - B factor will become very small.. As you say - check which fits best with the surrounding atoms.. On Thu, 8

Hello, K will always have a higher B-factor for a given piece of density due to it having a larger atomic number. Is the K B-factor much higher than those of neighbouring atoms and, if not, it's probably the best interpretation? Cheers, Jon.C. Sent from ProtonMail mobile Original

Hmmm - very puzzling.. One expects the for the atoms to more or less match the Wilson B for the data sets.. There are some mini bugs which can mislead you. Is your average a mean or an RMS value? RMS ones can be hugely inflated if you have a few crazily high Bs and the refinement programs can

Hi Matt, You mention that you process with DIALS - one thing I would recommend is scaling all the data together then merging each temperature point separately - I could do with preparing a HOWTO on this [1] - this would then mean that they are being scaled to be as similar as possible before

In a similar vein, there could be effects of variation in humidity. How is humidity controlled at these different temperatures? It can drastically affect crystal ordering, which is of course a key determinant of the eventual Wilson B of a dataset and should be distinguished from a property of the

There could be a release of sum stress in the crystal with increasing temperature which could even lead to better ordering I can imagine. But that would need a very close inspection and mainly - are the structures completely isomorphous?? I.e. are there changes at all? If not then I am puzzled.
