Hey I have a problem with converting a CNS created file in .cv format to .mtz for use in CCP4. I suspect it is because the Fortran model and the column labels are incorrect but I have no idea how to fix this. Here are the first few lines of the .cv file: ##

We recently had this problem in our lab. No matter what we tried, we could not get convert2mtz (or any other program) to work properly. We were probably doing something wrong with the fortran? Depending on how far along you are, you can try using phenix.refine. Just input your model and

Look up fortran formatting via google, it's all there. You have to enter the fortan format to match the format of the cv file. Conceptually something like: 3F3.0, 14X, F10.3, 12X, F10.3 which means Three fields with values to import, each of three columns with no decimal points skip 14 columns O

You can use the command sed -e "s/INDEx\(.*\) FOBS= \(.*\) SIGMA= \(.*\) TEST=\(.*\)/\1 \2 \3 \4/g" file.cv > file.hkl in order to get rid of all the words and convert the file into a simple hkl-file. After removing the header you can use f2mtz to convert it to an mtz-file. Make sure that you DO

Hi, There are 2 basic ways of approaching this problem: the good and the bad (I won't even mention the ugly!). The bad ways all involve counting columns and working out Fortran formats. This is because it cannot be safely assumed that the file has been written with fixed length records, which is

[ccp4bb] Lousy diffraction at home but fantastic at the synchrotron?

2010-09-28 Thread Francis E Reyes
Hi all I'm interested in the scenario where crystals were screened at home and gave lousy (say < 8-10A) but when illuminated with synchrotron radiation gave reasonable diffraction ( > 3A) ? Why the discrepancy? Thanks F - Francis E. Reyes M.Sc.

I find this interesting as well, mainly because I have never seen this myself and I have looked at plenty of badly diffracting crystals. In my hands, synchrotron data at most end up being ~1.5 angstrom better in terms of resolution than the same crystals on our home source. I'm wondering if this

Often this reflect crystal size - a small crystal in a big beam (or one with a long path in air) on a home source would see the small diffraction signal drop below the noise level quite quickly - often at the low resolution intensity dip that sits very approximately around 6 Angstrom. On a syn
