Pavel, Thanks for pointing that out. Based on one dataset, it seems to me that using this kind of maps "no-fill" as an additional guide can help tracing some side-chains. Ivan With best regards, Ivan Shabalin, Ph.D. Research Scientist, Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological Physic

[ccp4bb] FFT bug, CCP4i job file configuration

2019-08-06 Thread Roger Rowlett
FYI, When FFT is run in the CCP4i interface, the output file destination is configured incorrectly. Examining the batch file that is created for the job, it appears that CCP4i ignores the MAPOUT filename and substitutes the file name of the temporary file, which is (alas) deleted in the last step.

The website http://g4.x3dna.org for the DSSR annotated G-quadruplexes (G4) in the PDB has been launched. Here are two examples showcasing G4 features automatically derived by DSSR: http://g4.x3dna.org/entries/6r9l and http://g4.x3dna.org/entries/5ua3 The 3DNA-DSSR program detects and annotates G4

For the record, phenix.refine always produces two versions of 2mFo-DFc maps, with and without filling in missing Fobs. The one that opens in Coot by default is the "filled" map, but you can always load the other one for comparisons. Pavel On Tue, Aug 6, 2019 at 8:34 AM Ivan Shabalin wrote: > De

Dear Clemens, Thanks! It sounds like a good test to do on the output .mtz and see if there are any significant changes in maps after these "filled in" coefficients are removed. Ivan With best regards, Ivan Shabalin, Ph.D. Research Scientist, Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological

There are certainly some problems with REFMAC after an anisotropy correction. The FreeR flags and D corrections are organised in spherical shells, whereas the D aniso volume is elliptical.. As Kay points out the REFMAC map coefficient for a difference map is 0 if there is no measurement so there

Dale Tronrud recently said ' I always like controls.’ in the discussion concerning water molecules. So do I but I prefer an alternative to his suggestion, which is the profile of how the average carbonyl oxygen would look in an F11 map. This is absolute in the sense that it is full occupancy an

Re: [ccp4bb] Extra density close to phosphate bound to Zn2+

2019-08-06 Thread Bernhard Rupp
One practically HAS to do what Dale describes. The sigma levels of a difference map peak depends on how much it is above the mean noise level of the map. With high resolution (and given a cooperating molecule) it is very likely that the model is very good and complete, thus low mean map noise le
