Hi, I’ve just learned that this online workshop is generally open, not just to members of the Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Consortium (NORA), and it’s free! Information, including the current programme and a link to registration, can be found here: https://www.nora.ai/events/AlphaFoldv2

Yes, the data indeed seems to be twinned and the tNCS has masked the twinning statistics, which is why I haven't considered it so far. I have not tried twinned refinement in C2 and P1 yet, but refining 4 chains in P32 with twinning yields a difference ED map that clearly indicates one (and jus

Dear Peer, I suspect that the true spacegroup has lower symmetry than P3221, and that there may be twinning masked by tNCS. Subgroups of P3221 are C2 and P32 ( https://strucbio.biologie.unikonstanz.de/xdswiki/index.php/Space_group_determination#Subgroup_and_supergroup_relations_of_these_space_g

I must admit in cases like this, my first thought is - could the space group be wrong? or is it twinned - quite common in this space group.. the normal twinning tests are sometimes misleading when you have non-crystallographic translation. I would reprocess the data as P32, generate a model with tw

Hi Peer, Normally, if one defines some residues with an occupancy below 1.0, the nonbonding contact restraints with other residues are switched off. It is already some time ago, but if I recall correctly, I had similar problems that nonbonding contact restraints were not switched off for residu

Dear CCP4 users, We (as in, the CCP4 developers) are investigating some (potentially) missing functionality in CCP4i2 and/or Cloud with respect to the programs pdbset, pdbcur, coordconv, and sftools. Some of these tools are quite old and may need to be replaced by other tools with similar funct

Deer Peer, i've got recently two proteins/crystals with the the following phenomenon: One strand is swapped and extends into the sheet of its symmetry mate. This happens obviously around a 2-fold axis and it was hard to see at higher Rfrees. In both cases, only the first 10-20 amino acids wer

Dear Peer, Have you looked at your images to check whether there is streakiness in some parts of the diffraction pattern? You could have a case of lattice translocation disorder, a nuisance often associated with tNCS but for which there are remedial methods available. With best wishes,

Dear Peer, This is indeed a very strange situation. If you have a molecule sitting on a crystallographic 2-fold, it would almost certainly overlap with its symmetry-related copy. A more exotic solution would be a 2-fold disorder around the axis, with each chain having a 50% occupancy, but I ha

Der CCP4 community, Is there a refinement program that can handle protein monomers sitting on crystallographic 2-folds? This is probably a strange question but we have the following situation. We have a 2.6 Ang datasets in SG P3221 (Rpim=4%, Isa=19.6) and a clear molrep solution with 2 chain
