[ccp4bb] sketcher and nitrogen in rings

2008-08-06 Thread Jan Abendroth
Hi experts, whenever create a ligand description with the sketcher that contains a saturated ring with nitrogens (piperidine, piperazine, etc) it flattens the nitrogens a la sp2 and consequently does weird things to the ring puckering. One can artificially protonate the nitrogen to get a sp3 geomet

I think you can find this also from the tables directly. The origin statement says Origin at 23 i.e. on *any* special position with PGS 23 there are 4 of them in F23: 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d. They are listed at the end of the position table and of course agree with what Ian derived. BR -Origina

[ccp4bb] problem running DISTANG

2008-08-06 Thread Xie Jiabao
Hello, I am trying to run the CCP4 program DISTANG from the command line (in order to do a translational grid search of a molecule over the asymmetric unit). But the program aborts with the following error message when I type DISTANG at the command line.

Dear all, Thanks for the responses. 'Phase comparison' (phasematch) produced nicely aligned maps after changing the origin of one set of SFs, and it looks like it will give some nice statistics for more quantitative comparison, which is what I want to do eventually... The confusion came from my l

Hi David No F23 has 4 alternate non-equivalent origins (i.e. invariant amplitudes, different phases): (0, 0, 0) (1/4, 1/4, 1/4) (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) (3/4, 3/4, 3/4) You can of course have other combinations of these by adding any of the 4 F-centring translations. You can work this out from this tabl

[ccp4bb] translation of atom sites and maps

2008-08-06 Thread David Waterman
Hi, I have a SAD dataset in F23 that I have solved using both SHELX (via hkl2map) and phenix, and for my own obscure reasons I want to compare the results. Both SHELXD and phenix.hyss find 2 sites and both pipelines go on to produce protein-like maps. I opened the heavy atom sites in Coot and was
