Dear All, Happy New Year I am working with a 2.06 Ang resolution structure in F432 space group and further using REFMAC (also tried Phenix) program for refinement of my model. Every thing in the structure seems good, R factor/ R free= 18.59/20.77 but the structure is too noisy (blobs of differen

Hi Raja, 1) how big is your protein ? 2) multiple domains ? What's the ID/sim between domains ? 3) Check Xtalpred in case you've overlooked a closer homolog http://ffas.burnham.org/XtalPred-cgi/xtal.pl I would not try to predict an intermediate model and then use that to predict the final mode

Re: [ccp4bb] xds process gave different cell parameters

2010-01-05 Thread harry
Hi I think that even post-refining with high resolution data you are unlikely to refine reliably to the same value within 1 part in 10,000 if you are making small differences to your processing. The differences you have are what I would consider to be within experimental error, so I wouldn't worry

Re: [ccp4bb] xds process gave different cell parameters

2010-01-05 Thread Vellieux Frederic
Nothing wrong with that approach in principle. You may want to have a few cycles of rigid body refinement before classical refinement. Just in case (but the cell parameters are very very close indeed). And the starting Rfactors should tell you if there is a problem or not. Fred. Jane Bailey w
