First suggestion - use WEIGHT AUTO in REFMAC - you may have restrained the geometry too tightly.. And have you tried TLS ? And at what level do you see no density - remember sigma levels in maps need to vary with B factor - very easy to achieve this with COOT.. Eleanor JOE CRYSTAL wrote:

Yes, this is how a wiki page for CCP4 might look like. However, to make a wiki successful we have to make sure it is secure and that there is a dedicated core team to maintain it. Kevin was asked by the CCP4 to lead the wiki project and while he is setting things up, it would be counterproducti

Our AKTA FPLC has been trouble-free for 9 years, and we bought one of the early models. It has lived in a cold room, withstood periods of heavy use, periods of inactivity, and ham-handed undergraduates without incident. I think we have replaced only the injector channels and the solvent filters

I like to think structural biologists are more than just another user group, they FEED the PDB! Their needs should first and foremost be taken care off, I would think. Also, it would indeed be a great loss if legacy programs can not be used anymore. - Jeroen - Clemens Vonrhein wrote: Th

If you're worried about UV all you need to do is to run multiple lanes of the same stuff, shield all but one with some sort of UV-opaque material (many kinds of plastics work very well), and cut the shielded lanes based on what you see on the illuminated lane. In a properly cast gel, all the lanes

Hi all, Resolution doesn't matter when solvent accessible surface area(SASA) is calculated? If resolution is poor, I think that the SASA is not likely to be reliable. Then, is there any resolution cut-off for SASA calculation? Also, when you calculate SASA, do you include NMR data, too? Any co
