Re: [ccp4bb] electrostatic surface with Ca

You might have better luck running pdb2pqr directly, instead of having pymol run it for you. I'd try downloading the recent version (I think it's on sourceforge), and possibly trying different forcefield parameters. You can then load the pqr file into pymol using apbs tools, or use it directly

It is redundant, but it adds an additional step if someone wanted to calculate something like a 3mFO-2DFc map. Thanks, Pete -Original Message- From: Kevin Cowtan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon 7/7/2008 10:18 AM To: Meyer, Peter Cc: CCP4BB@jiscmail.ac.uk Subject: Re: [ccp4bb

Slightly off-topic from the original question, but is there a reason that most programs don't output D for sigma_a coefficients? Pete -Original Message- From: CCP4 bulletin board on behalf of Mayer, Mark (NIH/NICHD) [E] Sent: Sat 7/5/2008 2:39 PM To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: [ccp4

Re: [ccp4bb] Phaser compile errors

2008-05-16 Thread Meyer, Peter
It looks like you need to install python2.4 (and python2.4-dev if using the package manager) and use that as the default during the build (remove /usr/bin/python and symlink it to python2.4 instead of /usr/bin/python2.5 ; after compiling phaser you can change it back). Pete -Original Mess

Doesn't this just change the question to "what observation:parameter ratio is needed for my structure to be over-determined?"? As near as I'm aware, the answer to that one seems to be "as many observations as you get". Pete -Original Message- From: CCP4 bulletin board on behalf of [EMA

Regarding reason 1, you can configure sshd to block root from logging in remotely ("PermitRootLogin no" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config). I was surprised to see that this wasn't the default in some systems, but made sure to turn it on after I saw my first dictionary attack (and since). Not that I disa

Well, nobody's let me in on any anti-validation conspiracy (which make sense, seeing as I don't write validation software). But Molprobity runs fine on a local system, and is very easy to configure. PDB-ADIT (which you didn't mention) can also be configured to run locally, but it takes more wo

Hi. Based on your explanation it looks like you want to remove your "RUN 1 REFERENCE" and "EXCLUDE BATCH 400 TO 500" lines from your script. You might also want to try without the NAME lines on the off chance that the harvesting stuff is causing the problems. My best guess is that the "RUN 1

Doubtlessly I'm confused, but my understanding was that alternative origins would only be an issue once a dataset was phased (so that wouldn't cause problem during integrating/scaling). I'd thought that using a consistent unit cell during indexing and scaling was a separate issue. Any chance y

Hi Rafael, Phase combination is when you add the probability distributions from two different sources of phase information (in your case, your SAD phases and model phases; but this occurs in lots of other places as well...). The idea is that combining two or more poor quality phase distributio

Hi Li, setpaths.sh (and variants for other shells) are generated during the cctbx build process (with ccp4-6.0.2, this might happen only if you're installing phaser). If you're doing a source install from both ccp4-6.0.2.tar.gz and phaser-1.3.3-cctbx-src.tar.gz, and have extracted both of th
