[ccp4bb] converting mmcif to mtz failure

2011-09-06 Thread Jacob Keller
Dear Crystallographers, in trying to convert a mmcif to mtz, I get the logfile below. I looked in the directory, and there is a file cf_mm.dic, but this is presumably not the same as the similar .lib file. Any thoughts about this? Did the file somehow get lost? Also, I recently did this same conve

Dear Ritcha, we have crystallised various peptides, especially circular ones, both from regular screens used in MX and from specially prepared screens (i.e. different organic solvents). We tend to use slow evaporation from under mineral oil in Terazaki plates (i.e. microbatch). We have also fa

Dear all I am interested in crystallizing a 5 residue peptide. I have no prior experience in this field although I have crystallized larger proteins (5--60 kDa). Do people use regular screens used in macromolecular crystallization such as Hamptons, wizards etc? Any suggestions are greatly app

Dear SnowDeer, Just how small is too small? If you have access to a microfocus beamline you might find you can collect decent diffraction data from crystals with dimensions in the single digit microns. Fishing tiny crystals is difficult, but something like the MicroMesh "tennis racquet" mounts can

I have seen these type of cases. They cause problem. They may come from O, from cns or other programs. Origins may even not be known. My solution was that if an atom has coordinates 9998.000 or more then consider them absent (i.e. set occupancies 0). On 6 Sep 2011, at 14:30, Kevin Cowtan wr

OK, here's the solution (also to BB in case anyone else has this problem). The PDB file appears to come from CNS. The coordinate file contains the following atoms: ATOM 2244 CG LEU A 452.000.000.000 1.00 0.00 A ATOM 2245 CD1 LEU A 452.000.000.000 1

Dear Petr, Yes, please do send the log files, MTZ file and anything else needed to run the job that shows the problem, so we can track it down. It's probably best to send them off-line. We couldn't reproduce Alexander's problem, but he tells me that it only occurs "when the script is started
