Re: [ccp4bb] Equation Editor woes with Office 2011 for Mac

Of course, if you are working with a .docx instead of a .doc file in Word2011 for a Mac, you can always simply insert and “Equation” directly, rather than the MathType version of Microsoft Equation under the “Insert/Objects” menu. This seems to work fairly seamlessly, unless you convert the .doc

[ccp4bb] Alexander Rich passed away Monday April 27, 2015

It is with great sadness to announce that Dr. Alexander Rich, Sedgwick Professor of Biophysics at MIT, passed away on Monday April 27, 2015 at Massachusetts General Hospital – he was 90. Alex, a member of the RNA tie club, contributed significantly to our understanding of RNA and DNA structure

Re: [ccp4bb] Data mining interactions in the PDB

I don't know whether your question is specifically for protein-ligand interactions, protein-protein interactions, internal protein interactions, etc., but one place to start is to look at some of the database tools already available on-line, including, for example, CREDO from Tom Blundell's grou

Re: [ccp4bb] Superposing nucleic acids

Dear Alan, This depends very much on whether the structures are similar in the helical conformations or not, and on what question you are trying to address. If these are nearly identical structures, it really does not matter much what atoms you use for superposition, as long as they lie along the

Re: [ccp4bb] All-D World

The structure of an all D-amino acid version of the HIV-1 protease was solved in 1992 (see Milton, Milton, and Kent, 1992, Science, 256:1445-1448). The D-enzyme was seen to have a structure that is the mirror image of the L-enzyme, and showed specificity for the enantiomeric form of the chiral subs
