[ccp4bb] Search nucleotide database "in-frame"

2008-11-12 Thread Mo Wong
Hi all, I'm trying to find a website where I can seach a nucleotide database with a relatively short (say 12 bases) in-frame sequence (i.e; -GGA--CAG-etc), and have the results in the same frame (so the resulting hits include regions which code for the same amino acid sequence). I'm sure this can

[ccp4bb] Fwd: [ccp4bb] crystallization of proteins with His-tag and/or c-myc tags

2008-11-12 Thread Kathleen Frey
Returning to the previous discussion, we've had luck crystallizing several proteins with a His-tag. We've used both N-terminal and C-terminal his tags, and have had success with both of them. In one of our structures, the his tag actually formed an interface for crystal packing. We have also tried

The original idea was to do with NCS restraints between B factors. The idea is that TLS models the overall displacements which may be different between NCS copies, while the residual Bs reflect local displacements which ought to be similar. Your argument applies restraints between bonded atoms, an

[ccp4bb] Choosing TLS groups.

2008-11-12 Thread Ian Tickle
All - I was just in a discussion about TLS and one thing that came out that I hadn't been aware of is that for the Biso restraints Refmac restrains the difference between the 'residual' Bs, i.e. with the TLS contributions subtracted, not the 'total' Bs. Now it seems to me that this isn't quite c
