[ccp4bb] Question: best program for modelling point mutant structure

Dear all, I am trying to model the structure of specific point mutant enzyme (wide type structure is known). The goal of this modeling is to discover changes in structure due to specific mutations and guess the interaction lost/gained and conformation changed. Could you please recommend a good p

Re: [ccp4bb] A question on the diffrentiattion of the salt crystal and salt diffraction in the protein metal complex

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear Acoot, the positions of the reflections on the detector depend on the unit cell dimensions, but not at all on the content of the unit cell. Therefore a protein crystal with a rather large cell produces a large number of reflections per image. A s

Re: [ccp4bb] Proper format for buccaneer heavy atom file?

Hi! Just a list of atoms with type or element set to SE should do it. (Note that your heavy atom program may not have allocated the atom type). Having said that, the heavy atom info biases the sequencing to try and get MET/MSE in the right place, but if the sequence doesn't want to fit it won't f

Re: [ccp4bb] How it could be possible?

Hi, If there is a hinge motion between the two domains, then allowing for this will give you a much better starting model. As Klaus suggested, you may just be able to do rigid body refinement of the two domains. However, it is also possible to place the two domains separately in Phaser, by pu
