Dear All,
Here is the CCP4 version 6.5 installed, where I want to remove the ANISOU
atoms from the pdb file, but its shows failed job with an error message :
"has failed with error message
child process exited abnormally"
So I am not able to figure it out, how to rectify. Please suggest.
Thank y

You could try an LLG anomalous map from Phaser as well to clarify the matter:
in my experience, even sulfurs are found, and your Rb should have f” ~0.75 even
at 1 Ang xrays. Also, you could refine in Refmac including anomalous data, and
refine occupancy of Rb.
Having both modeled into the data
Hi all,
Picture attached.
I solved the structure of a membrane protein using LCP. When trying to
identify the cation-binding site, I co-crystallized with Rb+. I see strong
density corresponding to Rb+, and it was confirmed in an isomorphous
difference map.
One problem: in the native structure I
Following up on Dave's suggestion, you could try using crystal screens as
additives. This has worked well in my lab. The idea is to mix the condition
that you currently have (the "base") with all the crystal screen reagents you
have in stock (CS, Index, etc.). As a first trial, use reservoirs
Dear Deepa,
When classifying structures you need to first ask "why?". For example, if you
want to get an idea about evolutionary relations, you must try to find their DNA
sequences and analyse those in the light of a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) that
follows the protein alignment.
In phar
Dear all,
I am Deepa, MSc final year student. For my final year project, I am working on
protein structure classification. I have a set of 300 methyltransferase
protein structures. I wish to classify the proteins in to different groups
based on their secondary structures and sequence. I have t
Along those lines suggested by David I would say these crystals are way too big.
Try freezing some when they are smaller. It would also be worth trying to
freeze in meshes to support the fragile plate instead of conventional loops.

There's some discussion of this in here:

section 6.5.
But basically you figure out how much dose a volume can take, and then
change collection parameters so that each volume gets that full dose.
The "strategy" is just one way to qu
Hi Mark,
I think William was asking by how much he could increase the
transmission by given a certain crystal size - the rough answer being he
could increase to 100% as he has ~10 positions given the beam and
crystal size... But a proper calculation is always better and of
course one has
Hi Matthew,
William seems to want to increase the x-ray intensity gradually during the
experiment by augmenting the transmission gradually. It that possible? If so,
would it be advisable?

Does anyone have experience in maximising anomalous signal during a

The crystals don't look that bad in my opinion. Maybe the cryo step is sub
optimal? Try using large loops (reduces surface tension forces during
transfer). Butane 2,3 diol is a good cryo to try. Maybe shoot them at room temp

There have been quite a few reports that the addition of a low concentration of
alcohol (e.g. isopropanol, a few %) can help to increase the thickness of thin
plate crystals like these. However, these are probably in the Hampton additive

Good luck,
