[ccp4bb] postdoc opportunity in cryo-EM studies of viruses and viral proteins

Dear all, We have an open postdoc fellowship in my group at Umeå University, Sweden. The fellow will use cryo-EM (single particle and tomography) to study the structures of virus particles as well as proteins involved in virus replication. This project will explore two extremes of cryo-EM: mol

Re: [ccp4bb] new ContaMiner features

Hi Radu thank you for your nice message - it is indeed unclear how often these cases happen. From our side it was nice to hear that people acknowledged the usefulness of our tool - which can also be used to rule out (known) contaminant crystals. Given that our ContaMiner will (by its design) not be

[ccp4bb] AW: [ccp4bb] Spacegroup for a symmetric monomeric protein

Dear Noguchi, If I understand correctly, you have one protein with 8 identical repeats and a few additional residues at the N-terminus that you cannot see in the electron density map. This means, that the N-terminal repeat is different from the other repeats and theoretically, you should submit

[ccp4bb] Spacegroup for a symmetric monomeric protein

Dear All, We have a rather confusion situation currently with our designer proteins. They are highly symmetric and consist of identical amino acid repeats in tandem that are organized in 3D around a central (rotation axis). Our first series of proteins like this was the Pizza (3ww9) which crystall

Re: [ccp4bb] new ContaMiner features

Hi Stefan, I also owe you an apology for my bad choice of words. One can debate about usefulness, but Pavel is right, the software is not "bizarre". And, as several people pointed out, it certainly addresses a need (which I didn't know about). Mea culpa. Best wishes, Radu > Dear Gerard > > I a
