The only way to really do "creative" stats on the PDB is to just
download the whole thing. It is a sobering thought to realize just how
tiny it is! Less than 17 GB. Once you've got it all on your hard disk
you can start writing little programs to look for different things. I

I may be biased, but the only way to really be sure is to shoot them.
If you see no spots at all, be sure to do a wide "oscillation" (rotation
during the exposure) shot as well. It is not unlikely for a salt
crystal to be oriented so that no relps are on the Ewald sphere, giving
no spots. B

Structures of a protein-ligand complex are often determined without the need of
running a molecular replacement program: a difference Fourier is generated to
locate the ligand, usually after a few rounds of rigid bodies and / or atom

Sir,
Thank you Sir. It worked. I used alternate conformations
which differ by 180 deg around CZ-NE bond. Now there is no
angle deviation error.
Thank you all for useful suggestions.

What else in in the conditions? Calcium Sulphate/Phosphate is poorly soluble,
so if there is any sulphate or phosphate in your condition I would be
suspicious.
The age of the plate is also a bad sign, as evaporation over an extended time
can lead to salt crystals. Check the well solution for cry
Dear Careina,
I would be cautious of using dyes. Much better to 1) try in-situ
diffraction if possible as this is least invasive or 2) pick a sensible
cryo and just freeze the crystal(s). I would try to same something from
the experiment for seed stock & possibly sequencing.

what you may have is two alternate conformations - i.e. your current one and
one with the CD-NE bond rotated 180 degrees. Your density looks like an average
between these two (to me at least and adaict from your image).

Dear ccp4
I have been performing trials on a protein DNA complex for a while now and have
not seen any crystals form. Today I checked an old plate (over a month old) and
I see 4 large crystals. *excitement* Three of them look tetragonal in shape
(like a pyramid) and one of them looks hexagonal.
Dear Kavya,
First try Herman's suggestions. You can try changing the restraint weight but
it will probably not solve the problem; it may hide it. If you cannot solve the
problem and you did the best you can do, you can deposit the model with the
outlier. The PDB does not reject models with (min
Dear Kavya,
I would examine the electron density of your Arginine. It may be present in two
alternative conformations and you may have fitted the Arginine in the middle,
e.g. with the NH1 in one conformation and the NH2 in the other.
The Arginine may also just be incorrectly fitted. Using Coot
