I think you get this problem whether or not you have selected to write a

Hi,
I can confirm what Bert Van Den Berg wrote about the round shaped
"crystals". It seems to appear often with DDM (in my case too, even
sometimes in several drops per screen) and first looks like phase
separation. Then it starts to be hard and is looking like a small CD
under the microscope
Hi,
it could be really useful in refining low resolution structure (with
poor electron density map) to have a refinement program that can
restrain phi and psi angles to follow Ramachandran plot. Does anyone
know if such program exist?
Thank you,

Another possible, and easy, way to optimize initial hits is to take your hit
condition in the reservoir and add small volumes (say 10% or so) of other
screen solutions. In this way you get small deviations from the initial hit
condition that may lead to better crystals or at least gives you hint
Hi Mario
Maintaining the secondary structure of your protein when refining against weak
data can be really challenging.
There are some options, but in the end you might have to accept a fairly large
number of Ramachandran plot outliers.
Try phenix.refine with the keyword "discard_psi_phi=Fals
Remember that phi-psi angels are excellent for validation purposes,
but only when they are unrestrained, so if you restrain them you
lose this option.
The above is a very important point!
Having now said that, restraining alpha-helices hydrogen bonding, and
beta-sheet cross-strand hydrog
After many warning messages, I think I have to clarify the meaning of
my question. After careful refining, in a low resolution structure
often many residues (mainly in loop regions) can still adopt
different dihedral conformations which are equally compatible with a
low resolution electron
Don't be afraid of trying to shoot needles. You'll have to improve yours but

I managed to increase the size of some needles to the point where I could (with

I co-crystalise a protein with insoluble ligands fairly frequently and
normally dissolve the ligand (about 1mg) in 50ul DMSO and then add

precipitate and set up

Dear Chris et al,
My guess is something needs ruby built as a build-time dependency, but

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with molecular replacement at low

Phaser doesn't seem to give me clear results. Can I get some advice?
Any comment will be appreciated.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your advice! Ruby now installs on my machine, as does Coot
(which is what I really wanted).
Unfortunately, coot is unhappy with my X11 install. When I run coot, I
get the following error:

Hi Buz:
You need to upgrade to the current (three day old) X11, available from
here:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz
It fixes a lot of bugs, so the pain you are being subjected to now
will be worth it.

Dear Buz:
Not sure why you have to install ruby. But if you describe the
problem, I might be able to help.
Meanwhile you can use what I pre-compiled:
