[ccp4bb] Two cells, one crystal

2010-08-03 Thread SIPPEL,KATHERINE H
Hi all, I work on a protein that has two know space groups at the same condition. One is P21 with 1 molecule in the ASU (small cell) and the other is P21 with 2 molecules in the ASU (large cell with pseudo-translational symmetry and is a giant pain in the butt to deal with). I was shooting a

Re: [ccp4bb] CCP4-omit crashes for large system

2010-08-03 Thread Frederic VELLIEUX
There is another program in CCP4 (from Alexei Vagin) that can generate OMIT maps. This should allow you to compute your OMIT map until the fix is introduced. Could be sfcheck but I am not sure (at home right now). Fred. > Message du 03/08/10 21:05 > De : "Hailiang Zhang" > A : CCP4BB@JISCMAIL

[ccp4bb] CCP4-omit crashes for large system

2010-08-03 Thread Hailiang Zhang
Hi there, I was using the CCP4-omit to generate the omit maps. However, for 2 input mtz files with exactly the same colume labels but different system size, for the small system, it works, but for the large systems, it ended up with: ./omit: line 9: 8510 Segmentation fault I am not sure whether

Re: [ccp4bb] Extremely long c-axis...reasonable?

2010-08-03 Thread Phoebe Rice
There's no theoretical reason it can't be that long. BUT it is possible, especially for problematic diffraction patterns (e.g. from a badly-diffracting, cracked crystal) for the software to pick some wacky value in its attempt to fit spots that don't really all belong in the same pattern.

Hi Christian - As a number of others have pointed out, this unit cell is unusual, but not impossible. It is, in fact, possible to search the PDB for unit cell parameters. From the home page, choose "Advanced Search"; on the search page, choose "X-ray cell dimensions" from the dropdown list of

Hi Christian There is nothing uncommon about your cell parameters, take extra care to get the beam center right during indexing, a few pixels can make all the difference. gl Preben On 03/08/2010, at 13.45, Christian Strube wrote: > Hi everybody, > > indexing of recently collected data gave me u

[ccp4bb] molecule name from pdb id and chain identifier

Hi, Sorry for the off topic question! I'm looking at Dali search results and find the molecule names are not always the same as the ones for the chain identifier from the pdb entry (maybe the molecule names are always of chain A of the entries???). I'm wondering if there is a way/tool to extract

2010-08-03 Thread Frank von Delft
Totally reasonable, yes. (But when it's that wrong, you easily get it wrong, too.) It's probably P6122 or P4122. Be careful to mount your crystals so you can rotate around the long axis, otherwise you'll never get non-overlapping data. phx On 03/08/2010 12:45, Christian Strube wrote: Hi

Hi everybody, indexing of recently collected data gave me unit cell parameters of a=b= 88 and an extremely long c-axis of 652 A. My question is, if the value of the c-axis can be reasonable? Or am I wrong with the SG? I know that length doesn't count, but does anybody has a longer one? Is ther
