Re: [ccp4bb] neg density/high B on sidechains

Dear Len, maybe a slight side-track, but you could consider taking one step back and applying a slightly different approach to data-processing - something we call "F(early)-F(late)" maps in autoPROC [1]. Why could that be useful here? Because it might allow you to (1) differentiate between radi

Hello, it depends a bit on the resolution. With d<1.2 A you can, of course, do some quite complicated modelling of alternate confirmations, group occupancies, etc - actually you can do this very meaningfully at worse resolutions, too. My favourite subject - if your resolution is better than ~1.4 to

I'm not aware that anything has changed since the last time this was discussed on the BB. Currently there is no ideal solution since even the mmCIF PDB format does not allow a proper description of the situation of atoms whose position cannot be placed due to the absence of data. The "Ligan

2020-04-28 Thread Thomas, Leonard M.
Hello all, This is one of those issues that seems to come up now and then. I have been working on a structure that obviously has some radiation damage as indicted by negative density and/or high thermal parameters. Since we know that residue X is in the sequence the sidechain should be there
