Re: [ccp4bb] Modified and unmodified residue

2012-02-20 Thread Herman . Schreuder
Dear Chris, Did you specify your residues in the pdb as alternative conformation, e.g. name your conformers in the pdb ASER and BSEP? For buster and ligands this works for me and I would expect this to work for other programs as well. Best, Herman Fro

[ccp4bb] Modified and unmodified residue

2012-02-20 Thread Christopher Wanty
Hello, I have a structure with a phosphorylated residue, but it looks like the residue may not be completely phosphorylated. I've currently modelled the residue purely as the phosphorylated variant, and have now been trying to put in a second conformer for the unmodified residue, but I'm findin

Re: [ccp4bb] Crystal Structures as Snapshots

2012-02-20 Thread Nian Huang
Is it possible the solution structure of SAXS, NMR and EM neglect the existence of a very small percentage conformation of the molecule due to the overwhelming signals from the majority conformations? But this state of the molecule is trapped and enriched by the crystallization condition. Nian O

Re: [ccp4bb] choice of wavelength

2012-02-20 Thread James Holton
The short answer is: no. Wavelength does not matter. Not for native data anyway. I wrote a paper about this recently. It is open access: http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/S0907444910007262 In particular, check out Figure 2. The two solid lines are pretty darn flat, and that means the wavelength

There could be many causes for this. Perhaps you do not have the best def.site file for your detector / beamline / hardware. What do your local HKL2000 experts tell you? You could e-mail me an image and I can help you. Jim From: CCP4 bulletin board [C

[ccp4bb] HKL2000 indexing problem

Hi all, I recently collected a data set off a single crystal and have had problems with indexing it. Every time I go pick peaks for indexing it constantly picks peaks that are just slightly off the actual peak. After indexing, it would always be that 2 of the 3 cell dimensions would be fairly n

This is a case where it is really helpful to keep some record of the unmerged integrated data. And again rejecting the odd outlier does no harm to most analyses.. I like to use scala to check for outliers looking at all i+ I- measurements; if there is a wild discrepancy for weak anomalous signa

Thanks, Artem! PDE2A also uses three domains to form a homodimmer. However, without the catalytic domain, the GAF B domain swings out. This is an excellent example for the restrictions set by the multidomain context. Anyone knows other examples? Thanks a lot! > PDE2 full length versus domain only

2012-02-20 Thread Herman . Schreuder
Dear Yu, You seem to be mixing up map coefficients and map files. Map coefficients are modified reflections, e.g. 2*Fobs-Fcalc multiplied by a weighting factor with h,k,l indices and are stored in a .mtz file. From these map coefficients, you can calculate a map file with an FFT program. A map
