Peter from you description seems that big blob is not your ligand. In 3.0
resolution molecules with similar size, including ligands, tend to look
similar in shape as well. I suggest you refine further your structure and
check again later this N-terminal blob of density. It may tern out to be a
bias
Hello Peter,
at 3A resolution occupancy refinement is supposed to fail, I'd say.
The large B-values can make up for reduced occupancy (as you already
pointed out to) but also large flexibility.
You might try ten refinement runs in parallel with fixed occupancies
varying from 10% to 100% and c
I guess it depends on your criteria for success. We made a successful MR using
data to 8Å with a search-model with 20% identity covering 90% of the target. The
resultant phases gave a map where a few new 'blobs' could be observed. Not very
useful, but the MR-phases could be used to solve the HA

Hi,
We had success using a testosterone hemisuccinate derivative which is
much more soluble.

Hope this helps!!

I'm trying to update Tcl/Tk on a mac running OSX5.6 as my version of

dependencies.
So I went to the CCP4 download page and used the Daresbury

A standard orientation is anything you want it to be and is usually
defined in the context of orthogonal axes. It is simply a reference
point from which you apply the results of your search. We usually
use one or more of the orthogonal axes as a starting point for easier

There seem to be delays; just as you are reading this brand new,

I do not mind PDB releasing only on Wednesdays at a certain time of the
day. What should happen is the authors/publishers should let PDB know
the publication date before it becomes available (supposedly days or

Hi,
I am refining a structure and have a region of unmodeled density into
which I am trying to fit a ligand. The identity of the ligand is not
obvious, so I modeled a bunch of dummy atoms into the density.
Could you please have a look at the map and pdb files and help me
identify this ligand?
Some context would be helpful (essential?). What's
in the crystallization solution? What, if anything, is known about the
protein of interest? What is the ligand interacting with (metal ions,
hydrogen bonding donors/acceptors, charged residues, etc?), and what
are the interaction distances? Do

My money is on:
Dithiothreitol or dithioerythritol.
Any chance they are in there? If not and you believe this copurified with

Some more info about this structure:
Crystallization conditions: Glycerol, 0.1700M NaOAc, 25.5000% PEG-4000,
0.1M TRIS pH 8.5
This does not sit on any crystalllographic symmetry axis.
But it sits right between two monomers and the NCS 2-fold axis.
The protein is chemotaxis protein CheX.

The cryoprotectant is 1,6 hexanediol.

Hi, Jim,
What's the concentration? I know that [hexanediol] between 2.5 - 3.4 M no
additional cryoprotectant is required.
But in my case my hexanediol conc is only 2.1 M

Very old trick from the stone age of crystallography.
Long time ago ~ 1999 I cryoed one crystal with 1.5 M hexanediol but
there was also 10% glycerol around.

from a thulium soaked crystal. In fact, I also used dysprosium to phase
