Re: [ccp4bb] in memoriam of Raimond Ravelli

As ESRF users, and also meeting Raimond in many courses and congresses since the 90s’, here we are also very saddened by these news. He was brilliant and very helpful. Ana Luísa Carvalho Senior Researcher | UCIBIO-i4HB | XTAL - Macromolecular Crystallography CiênciaID: 351C-DCB9-6912; http://do

Re: [ccp4bb] Can twinning be seen in the diffraction pattern?

Just a short note on this: I often see colleagues using the word “twinning" when referring to a crystal that is actually multiple (not single). I think much confusion arises from this. For me, a twin crystal is the one that looks single under the microscope and only intensity statistics reveal t

Re: [ccp4bb] Micro/Macro crystal seeding experience

Hi Rafael, have you considered crystal dehydration? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3317743/ It’s not easy to implement, but high solvent content could be a reason why your crystals don’t diffract beyond 4A. Did you manage to

Dear fellow crystallographers, very much related to the recent discussion on the science behind crystallisation, we bring to your attention a Special Issue on "NOVEL STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVED PROTEIN CRYSTALLIZATION” from the MDPI journal Crystals: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/crystals/special_is

Re: [ccp4bb] Is it possible to fix the position of an atom during real space fitting in Coot?

You can find the tool “Fixed Atoms” in the Refinement Toolbar (the side menu). Just click Fix Atom and then click the atom(s) you wish to fix. It won’t move in real space refinement or in regularisation. Cheers! > On 13 Mar 2018, at 19:46, Steve Chou wrote: > > Dear Coot developers and CCP4 li
