Re: [ccp4bb] Multiple nucleation

2007-03-29 Thread Artem Evdokimov
What often works for this scenario: Change temperature. Try 21, 15, and 4C. Add glycerol or ethylene glycol - set a screen with your condition as basis, and % EG/glycerol across - from 1% to 15% in suitable increments Find additives that produce no crystals, set up tray(s) with those, then se

[ccp4bb] Multiple nucleation

2007-03-29 Thread Jobichen Chacko
Hai All, Sorry for the non Ccp4 question. I got very small crystals for a protein and I am trying to optimize the condition to improve the size of the crystal and reduce the number of nucleation. The crystals are coming from five to six conditions , all have PEG 3350 in common. Apart from PEG, t

[ccp4bb] Commensurate superlattice discussion; summing up and thankyou

2007-03-29 Thread John R Helliwell
Re a commensurate superlattice case Dear CCP4bb Colleagues, Thanks to the varied interest and especially even as far as browsing and processing of diffraction images kindly undertaken by Kay Diederichs, Gloria Borgstahl and Jeff Lovelace, I went back to one-by-one scrutiny of images including a

Re: [ccp4bb] Merohedral twinning

2007-03-29 Thread Christopher Colbert
Mark, I suggest you start by doing MR with the twinned data to search for the individual domains to obtain an initial solution. With near perfect merohedral twinning, deconvoluting your structure factors is unreliable. To what resolution does your crystal diffract? If it is beyond ~2.5Ang.,

[ccp4bb] Merohedral twinning

2007-03-29 Thread Mark Mayer
Hi, I'd greatly appreciate advice on how to proceed with trying to solve and refine a structure with nearly perfect merohedral twinning - or is this impossible? The SG is H3; most likely nmol is asu is 4 from Matthews coefficient - but not sure about this. Here are the twinning stats from p

[ccp4bb] convert2mtz...

2007-03-29 Thread Kevin Cowtan
This is a replacement for cns2mtz, which fixes all the reported bugs in that program, is rather more convenient, and handles other ascii file types as well, including at least SHELX hkl files and XtalView PHS files. Changes include: - Spacegroup headers are now generated correctly. (I hope).
