2010-12-03 Thread Bostjan Kobe 
POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN MACROMOLECULAR CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, UNIVERSITY OF
QUEENSLAND, BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA
 
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position in macromolecular
crystallography in the laboratory of Prof Bostjan Kobe at the School of
Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences (SCMB) and the Institute for Molecular
Bioscience (IMB), University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.
 
The main area of study will involve characterization of three-dimensional
structures of proteins and protein complexes involved in innate immunity
pathways. Experience in molecular biology, protein purification,
macromolecular crystallography and protein/protein interaction analysis is
desirable. 
 
The salary will be according to qualifications and experience, starting at
AUD$67,958. The position is available from January 2011.
 
University of Queensland is one of Australia's top universities. SCMB
combines the disciplines of chemistry, biochemistry & molecular biology,
microbiology and parasitology into a single academic unit. The laboratory is
located in a recently refurbished area of SCMB. SCMB and IMB are situated in
the beautiful St. Lucia campus on the Brisbane River.
 
State-of-the art equipment is available for all aspects of the work,
including FR-E X-ray generator /R-axis IV++ and Saturn 944 CCD X-ray
detectors, Mosquito crystallization robot and the Rock Imager imaging
system. There is regular access to the Australian Synchrotron.
 
Brisbane has been voted Australia's most liveable city and has a fantastic
subtropical climate. It is only a short drive from Australia's best beaches
and provides opportunities for all sorts of outdoors and cultural
activities.

Re: [ccp4bb] Problems with adding ncs matrixs in PHENIX

2010-12-03 Thread Pavel Afonine 
Hi Chen,

first off, I suggest posting PHENIX related question on PHENIX mailing list:
http://www.phenix-online.org/

The command:

phenix.refine mode.pdb data.mtz main.ncs=true

will determine and use NCS automatically. Note, that if you use
"strategy=rigid_body+individual_adp" the NCS restraints are applied to ADPs
only.

You can also specify atom selections for NCS related groups using a
parameter file as described here:
http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/refinement.htm#anch24

Let me know if you have any questions by replying directly off-line or on
PHENIX mailing list.

Pavel.

Dear friends and colleagues,

 

I wish to let you know that the movie "The Mystery of the Giant Crystals" is
available in the States at Hampton Research. 

 

http://hamptonresearch.com/product_detail.aspx?cid=26

&sid=196&pid=606

 

The movie was directed by Javier Trueba and describe my research on these
giant crystals in different sites of the world. I hope you could enjoy it as
much as I did working in such wonderful geological locations. More
