Hi Everyone, I hope everyone gets this email. Below are the two answers I got on how to solve my problem using ccp4.I actually emailed another person who wanted to know how I did it. So I got to transfer what I learned immediately. But his email was offline not through the forum. The answers

Dear Ivan, It is great to have confirmation that you got answers to your initial question that enabled you to solve your problem. The idea of the BB is that, in exchange for the gift of other people's contribution to solving your problem, you are expected to share the solution with the other

I guess it is a BB hosted by CCP4, but I think it serves a much wider community of structural biologists, and it is valuable for that community that there are suggestions about how to solve problems using SHELX, or BUSTER or PHENIX software.. Certainly I learn new tricks. So speaking as a CCP4

ok I think I should say something here.For some reason I was unable to find REPLY-ALL button and my reply did not go to everyone first so I had to write another message.I got the answer to my original query and I used CCP4 (CAD) and coot as suggested by Jan. Having said that I did not know that you

I guess Phenix people are just trying to help. After all they are not selling us Zinger sewing machines (zin...@sewing CO, my apology) nor they are trying to push us Kirby (http://www.consumeraffairs.com/in_home/kirby.htm, no apology) vacuum cleaners using naive chastity of CCP4BB site. They are

The guidelines for the CCP4BB are extremely broad and certainly include discussion of other software packages. Since the original poster's question had to do with a specific problem with CCP4, it would have been appropriate for Pavel to prefix his reply with something like "I hope you receive an a

I am inclined to agree with Gerard. Of course if there is a specific question to CCP4bb about SHELX, I try to answer it. Since I am too lazy to maintain my own bb, this is very convenient. However I have stopped 'poaching', for example for the thread in question I resisted the temptation to point

Hi Dirk, When it happens that I reply to a ccp4bb message and that the answer, or solution I may have (which I think is "better" or "more appropriate") involves using non-ccp4 programs, I do it off-list. By replying privately to the person who asked the question. Fred. Dirk Kostrewa wrote:

Dear Gerard, I can only agree with you - I've also noticed a growing and sometimes irritating cross-advertisement of non-CCP4 programs on the CCP4BB over the last months (mainly Phenix). Unless, the specific task that was asked for, can only be (reasonably) solved with non-CCP4 programs, such

Dear all, This is a remark I have wanted to make for a long time but managed so far to repress. However, this case is absolutely clear: Ivan was not asking for general advice on how to carry out a general task, but how to perform a specific task with the CCP4 software. In response we ge

Hi Ivan, two ways (at least) to do it in PHENIX: - phenix.refine always computes anomalous difference Fourier map (provided that your input data file contains Fobs(+) and Fobs(-)). The command below will do it: phenix.refine model.pdb data.mtz strategy=none main.number_of_macro_cycles=0 out
