You might find Structure 14, 973-982 Jun 2006 of interest. Larger protein, Zn instead of Se (although only 8 sites), roughly comparable to slightly lower resolution. This was mainly testing to confirm that there was enough anomalous signal to phase off of, so the model was essentially known; howe

Two suggestions... Check that the coordinate fields in your pqr file are separated by spaces (some pdb to pqr converters don't always do this in my hands, probably due to large negative coordinate values). Also, try using your .pqr file and .in file to run apbs from the command line and see if it

[ccp4bb] unexpected FPART behavior in refmac

I was testing FPARTi,PHIPi in refmac 5.5.0089 and got an unexpected result. With scaling off (no SCPART keywords), adding an FPART1,PHIP1 where all entries for both columns were 0 gives Rwork and Rfree of 1.0. When scaling of FPART is turned on, the Rwork,Rfree values are as expected (comparible

In addition to the possible problem Ho mentioned (DNA conformational changes), a few other things could effect how doable it is: percentage of DNA vs protein in the complex and the resolution of the data. Too little DNA mass wouldn't help phase the remainder of the complex, if it could be located.

It might be possible that there's a problem in the low resolution portion of your data. You could check the wilson plot to make sure it looks normal at that range, and possibly change the low-resolution cutoff refmac is using. Pete Jan Abendroth wrote: > Hi all, > I have a number of low-ish reso
