If you just want the residues involved in the interface, you can use the byres selection commands in Pymol. select contacts, (byres monA and (monB around 4)) which will show all the residues on monA that are within 4 Ang. of Mon B. Steve -Original Message- From: CCP4 bulletin board [

SuSE is a Mandrake derivative, so that is your best bet. It is likely that the Rehat RPM will work too. Make sure that the library goes to the right place after you install it (especially if you go Redhat) - you may have to put a symbolic link where the program in question is looking for this..

Having done this a few hundred times, I would strongly suggest that you just collect the data and solve the structure. Since you already have the apo structure solved, then it really isn't that much work to do an MR solution on the complex. Be aware that quite frequently there is enough non-isomo

Regarding David Sayre, Ed Lattman once opined in a Sayre's Equation lecture to graduate students that if only David Sayre would focus his attention on macromolecular crystallography again, that perhaps the phase problem would be solved. Lofty praise indeed. Thanks for the anecdote Bob. Steve

Daniel, Try giving non-zero values for the ISOERROR. If that doesn't work, post your Se site coordinates, space group and unit cell parameters. This may also be a special case with P1, in that the origin can be anywhere. Try fixing one of your atoms to a specific coordinate (don't refine it
