Hi Derek,
That brings back memories. I am pretty certain that is the myoglobin crystal
that was already on Benno's shelf at Brookhaven when I went there in 1980 to
collect my oxymyoglobin neutron data. It would the metmyoglobin crystal Benno
got the early neutron data from. He just kept it o
I once grew an oxymyoglobin crystal 1 cm long for neutron diffraction at
Brookhaven. I was very proud of it, but when I got to Brookhaven I was told it
was too big for the beam (!) so I had to use a much smaller one of only 8 mm**3

essential. Experience with surface plasmon resonance and small molecule

I take the point about a tendency in those days to apply sigma cutoffs to get
lower R values, which were erroneously expected to indicate better structures.
I wonder how many of us remember this paper by Arnberg et al (1979) Acta Cryst

Dear Tim,
Interesting discussion, and I agree with your last description of the issues.
When I started playing with this for oxymyoglobin [J. Mol. Biol. 142, 531-544
(1980)]
it seemed immediately apparent (i.e. by thinking about it before starting to
write programs) that the simple Babinet app

Dear CCP4BBers,
With apologies to non-UK crystallographers (to whom it is not relevant
so they should read no further).
Just to let you know that there are opportunities for grant and
fellowship applications from researchers wishing to work in the Research
Complex at Harwell (RCaH). This is a gre
