[ccp4bb] map and model do not fit when using Turbo-Frodo

Dear All, I am refining a structure of Se-protein solved with MAD using phenix. The unit cell is P 21 21 21 with a=36.898, b=59.450, c=393.909 and alpha=beta=gamma=90. There are two molecules in A.U. The problem is that when I use Turbo-Frodo for molecular modeling, the map does not fit to the

[ccp4bb] program to evaluate proteins

Hi, Dear All, Does anyone have suggestions about what good programs are available that could be used to evaluate proteins?Like how good is the packing, hydrogen bonding pattern, aggregation prediction, solubility, hydrophobic surface burial etc. Thank you very much. Jenny

[ccp4bb] cryo-protection for crystals grown in ethanol

Dear All I got crystals from 20% Ethanol with 0.1M Tris pH 8.5. This is my first time to have crystals in Ethanol and want to get some suggestions of cryo-protection from those who have done this before. I am waiting for my time on home X-ray facility, and hope I can get some suggestions before

Re: [ccp4bb] cryo-protection for crystals grown in ethanol

Hi Rongjin, I had crystals that grew in 9% ethanol as a precipitant. To cryoprotect them, I first replaced the mother liquor with solution containing 10% MPD, instead of ethanol, and then briefly dunked the crystals into ~30% MPD. Hope this helps. Good luck. Katya On Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 1:24 P

[ccp4bb] CCP4i can NOT run

Dear friends, I have installed the latest version of CCP4i under Fedora 9 on my laptop HP Compaq 6515b (two processors). The system setup was done and the CCP4i interface can run normally. But if I submit a job, it displayes "STARTING" the job in the job window and will NOT actually run the job.
