Re: [ccp4bb] Restraints after refinement

Dear Jeorge just as a curiosity: 1- do you see a continuous electron density for the ligand, before and after performing the refinement? 2- do you have only one copy of the molecule(s), and if not, do you see the same behaviour for all the ligands? 3- what are the B-factor values for the ligand?

Dear all, I am working on my molecule, but after running Refmac5 restrained refinement the bonding distances and angles are broken. I used Phenix to create the ligand and used Coot to place the ligand into the correct location in the molecule, merged the ligand and molecule coordinates, and save

The most important thing is that you do it the same way every time. But you might also put some thought into flexibility, in case you need to explore cryoprotectants, etc. On 11/21/14 11:48, amro selem wrote: Dear All, first i wish you nice weekend, then i wanna ask about formulation of my ow

Yes, that's true. In such corner cases phenix.refine switches to LS, for example. Alternatively you can generate many (say 100) different tests sets and run 100 refinements. This will give you an ensemble of slightly different structures with slightly different Rwork and Rfree. You can then derive

Hi Jacob, If you have a sufficient number of unique reflections, use percentage because it is more convenient. If not, at least make sure the below criteria are met. If that's not possible, don't use maximum likelihood for refinement ;-) Cheers, Tim On 11/21/2014 05:09 PM, Keller, Jacob wrote: >

Right about the 1000 in that case, but also Rfree with 5% would be statistically poor. I guess one would be stuck in that case. JPK From: Pavel Afonine [mailto:pafon...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, November 21, 2014 11:16 AM To: Keller, Jacob Cc: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] Free Refl

Oh I see, I though the answer follows from that. Fraction is better (or may be fraction with a cap). Hardwiring a number may not always work. For small crystals or small data sets or incomplete datasets say 1000 reflections may mean 50% of the dataset. All the best, Pavel On Fri, Nov 21, 2014 at

Hello, choice of the size of free (or test, whatever you like to call them) reflections is important for three different purposes: - estimation of parameters for ML target for refinement; - map calculation (coefficients m&D in 2mFo-DFc or mFo-DFc map are calculated using test reflections); - vali

As pointed out by a reviewer recently, this has been object of study in the past when Gerard K. and Axel B. found that actually 500-700 reflections should suffice to monitor Rfree with sufficient precision. I guess everybody will agree on that we want to have the best refined structure and this
