Hi MM, Co in its +2 oxidation state typically forms a tetrahedrally coordinated species in high pH environment; and pentagonally coordinated species with five ligands at low pH. A Co ion in its +3 oxidation state forms a octahedrally coordinated species with six ligands. Co +3 is unusual in bi

Are the imidazole rings of the histidines distorted? If they are, it could be water/hydroxide. If not, it is probably a cobalt ion side show. Cheers, Rob Meijers EMBL Hamburg --- On Thu, 7/7/11, Artem Evdokimov wrote: From: Artem Evdokimov Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] Unexplained density near

We have a manganese binding protein that binds two Mn ions in a binuclear complex. It turns out that one of the metal ions can move about 2.0 Å depending on crystallization & data collection conditions (check out PDB files 1ON1 and 2F5D for the alternate conformations). In some instances we co

hey Mischa I would guess that is a split cobalt/metal site occupancy 0.1 and 0.9 or something like that. If you calculate an anomalous difference map you may be able to confirm/reject that suggestion, depending on the strength of the anomalous signal. cheers Preben On 07.07.2011, at 17:07,

It could be a cacodylate bridging between two zincs. I would want to know if anomylous maps show a third peak in the middle. On 04/30/10 12:41, Maia Cherney wrote: I think cacodilate is less likely because it's negatively charged as the carboxy groups that surround the density. I think it's Zn

I think cacodilate is less likely because it's negatively charged as the carboxy groups that surround the density. I think it's Zn or it may be another (endogenous) metal ion like Ca. You need to look at the coordination. Maia David Schuller wrote: The figures would be more helpful if you tol

The figures would be more helpful if you told us what each map contour represented, and at what contour level. I assume blue is 2fo-fc and green+red is fo-fc, positive and negative. It would be even more helpful to have the maps to turn over in 3D, but I understand you would probably be relucta

While it would not be unreasonable for zinc ions to be coordinated to the asp residues (perhaps with bridging waters or hydroxides), I am a little troubled by the lack of electron density around the coordinating residues. If there are zinc ions tightly coordinated at full occupancy, I would nor

It's hard to see clearly the density, but judging from the abundance of carboxy groups, it may be a metal. Maia Daniel Bonsor wrote: Hello again I currently have some unexplained density in my structure. As you can hopefully see from the images (see file), the density is dumbbell shaped. Wha
