I had a similar problem with the beta. Do the different systems have different processor manufacturers? At that point, a couple of weeks ago, the relevant code then ran fine on Intel processors, but crashed on AMD. However, this was part of the CCP4Cloud software, I2 seemed to work fine aft

Having just faced this problem, I used the coot 'symm shift reference chain here' command (in Extensions / Modelling menu) to assemble the model from the scattered fragments. This should be scriptable, but I didn't think it was worth the effort for the 20 odd fragments I had. Hope this he

Another possibility (other than those already mentioned) is to try freezing without a cryoprotectant, by fishing the crystals out onto a mesh and removing all the mother liquor. The following paper has some details: "Direct cryocooling of naked crystals: are cryoprotection agents always nec

The current bottleneck with file systems is the speed of getting data on or off the magnetic surface. So filesystem compression helps, as less data needs to be physically written or read per image. The CPU time spent compressing the data is less than the time saved in writing less data to t

Just a word of warning regarding metals in macromolecular simulation. There is no 'good' way of modeling protein-metal interactions in many cases. Some metal ions are very polarizable (Ca 2+ being one example) and the simple mechanics used in protein simulation don't allow for this. Even using a po
