Dialing Pretty, It is certainly possible to observe real conformations of amino acids, especially Arg, that are not quite common enough to have been identified as rotamers. To this point, note that defined rotamers accounted for only 82% of Arg conformations in the highly validated data set used t

Hi Cale, My advice would be to find someone local with experience in scripting possibly in python or perl. This is a tractable problem with a bit of scripting and if you aren't already experienced this may be a good opportunity to delve into a bit of programing. Good Luck, -bob On Tue, Mar 8, 201

Hi, I've pasted below the reasons from Dan Gewirth and the HKL2000 manual authors for having a -3 sigma cutoff... I'll add briefly that if you assume the weak data has a Gaussian distribution around zero a -3 sigma cutoff allows you to record ~99.8% of the data. -bob SIGMA CUTOFF Cutoff for reje

Hi Jacob and Mike, An additional thought exercise would be to consider if your exogenously added protein is itself heritable. Essentially trying Mike's idea 1, but instead of expecting the protein to get into the genome and in that way have it's "information" stored, look to see if the protein it

Roberto, An also less than optimal work around might be to take your refined .pdb from PHENIX or CCP4 and run it through the downgrade utility on MolProbity to change to PDBv2.3 format before working in Coot. I don't think it is necessary to convert back to PDBv3.0 for phenix.refine, but MolProbi
