Hi Derek, you can do it in Phenix, a matter of one command or in GUI. Let me know off-list if you need guidance. Pavel On Mon, Dec 16, 2024 at 6:39 AM Derek Logan < ac2332bb2871-dmarc-requ...@jiscmail.ac.uk> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I would like to do a quick rigid-body refinement of a model

Dear Derek, When using servalcat refine_spa_norefmac, you can:  * fix ADPs with the option --adp fix  * or set very high weight for the ADP restraints:   --adpr_weight ADPR_WEIGHT    ADP restraint weight (default: 1.00) You can also play with jelly body options:   --jellybody

Dear Saniya, For complexes with antibodies (special case of protein-protein complexes), you may consider the ProPlex screen and the TCR/pMHC Optimized Protein crystallization screen. In general, take also an (at least predicted) pI of your protein(s) into account when selecting a screen. Your p

I've done that at 6 Å with a large X-ray structure a long while ago and I think the trick was to define your own groups, by way of example snipped from the .eff file: adp { individual { isotropic = None anisotropic = None } group_adp_refinement_mode = one_adp_group_per_residue \

Hello Derek, You might receive more answers if you post cryoEM questions to the CCPEM list: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=ccpem Not sure why you need to refine a B-factor, at this resolution it won't tell you much, even with only one per chain or per tetramer. For the rigid-

Hi everyone, I would like to do a quick rigid-body refinement of a model against a low resolution (6 Å) cryo-EM map. The model consists of four tetramers and I want to refine each tetramer as a rigid body, either with one (anisotropic?) ADP per tetramer or at the most one per chain. I haven't y

Hello Saniya, For protein-DNA complexes, the set of conditions described in this article has been helpful in the past: https://doi.org/10.1107/S1744309112025316 You will find more info in a message I posted in a discussion from earlier this year: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa-jisc.exe?A

Hi 白雪慧 Initially I would try to diffract these crystals befofe any optimisation. A microfocus beam should give you some clues. You might find out that you have a super ordered crystal at 1.2 A resolution already, or you crystallized salt or a contaminant. Further, have you tried seeding? These
