[ccp4bb] Incubators

2011-06-01 Thread Ramanathan Natesh
Dear All, Is anyone using ICP 700 (416 Litres) Memmert incubators for protein crystal growth? What are their experiences? Are they vibration free as much as 3201 (390 Litres) Rubarth Rumed vibration free incubators ? I know memmert has low volume which are peltier cooled incubaters, no

Hi there, I would like to know how to convert a .osc file to .img file which can be then read by mosflm or ccp4 programs so that it can be indexed and integrated. Thanks! Madhu

Thanks all! Actually I have tried different systems and did find that the "molecular envelop" map shows up at a resolution of 40A (50S ribsome). Hailiang > Hi Hailiang, > > may be your expectations did not match the reality? I did exactly this for > teaching purposes a few weeks ago and it worked

Hi Nat, playing with fake data you know the answer. Real data are good too, although you have to keep in mind how its completeness will affect what you look at. I can't see how B-factors are relevant if you take a model from PDB: in this case the B-factors are what comes from PDB - real ones. Pav

Hi Hailiang, may be your expectations did not match the reality? I did exactly this for teaching purposes a few weeks ago and it worked for me quite well. Try different models with different molecule/solvent ratio, try adding solvent: phenix.fmodel model.pdb high_res=10 k_sol=0.35 b_sol=50 Yes,

Hi Pavel: I tried phenix.fmodel at different resolutions up to 20A, and never got any big envelop covering the whole molecule. ...anyway, thanks... Hailiang > Hi Hailiang, > > to get feeling about how maps may look like at different resolutions do > the > following learning exercise: download

Hi Hailiang, to get feeling about how maps may look like at different resolutions do the following learning exercise: download a structure from PDB and compute Fcalc maps at different resolutions: phenix.fmodel model.pdb high_res=1 phenix.fmodel model.pdb high_res=2 phenix.fmodel model.pdb high_r

Hi there, I have a preliminary question. For very low resolution data, say 10A or even lower, is the density map supposed to be more like a big envelop covering the whole molecule, or more like a collection of isolated small envelops covering small motifs (eg helix as cylinder envelop)? I got the
