[ccp4bb] Degradation and phasing

2008-03-30 Thread Yingjie Peng
Dear friends, I have two problems with my proteins. For protein A, it was purified using the Nickel-affinity purification method. If the sample was placed at 4 degrees centigrade for 24 hrs, it didn't change obviously. But if it was concentrated by centrifuge at 4 degrees for further gel-f

My experience is the same as Frank's. As I compete a structure for which I am using TLS restraints, I often refine in both phenix and refmac and sometimes go back and forth. I am confused as to why refmac keeps the ANSIOU cards and doesn't keep its output consistent. It would be nice if the

Hi, Just a newbie question: Could someone explain what might have gone wrong in this case? I guess the structure factors should not change anyway! I am a bit confused because I have used solve resolve several times for experimental phasing, never had such a problem, on the other hand, have not he

Hi Partha, It sounds to me as though the amplitudes that were given to resolve as FP may have been calculated ones. The FP and SIGFP written out by resolve are normally the same as those that are input, and so you can use them in refinement in most circumstances. You are always safest to do as G
