Dear All, Thanks for your suggestions! I ended up using the areaimol program in ccp4. My next question: Given a list of accessible surface area, is there a generally accepted value of ASA above which a residue classifies as a surface residue, while below this number it is an interior residue?

Thanks very much for all of the helpful suggestions! The most useful solution for us was a python script provided by Ed Pozharski at the ccp4wiki link below, which reads a .sca file and produces a table with both and / for a user-defined number of shells. http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstan

That depends on what you are trying to do. Maybe the best strategy is to use fuzzy logic, whereby a residue which has 30% of it's Gly-X-Gly ASA buried has the "surfaceness" of 0.7. On Wed, 2010-11-03 at 09:55 -0400, Buz Barstow wrote: > Dear All, > > Thanks for your suggestions! I ended up usin

CCP4'ers, Are 9 datasets the maximum for an mtz file? or a single run of cad? The manual (http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/cad.html) seems to suggest that 9 is the limit per cad run but not for a given mtz. F - Francis E. Reyes M.Sc. 215 UCB Universi

Hello, 9 mtz files are the limit of CAD, one things you can do is to modify the source file , that is wrote in fortran, or write a bash script or that run iteratively the CAD script and change the MTZ files. R. On 03/11/2010 18:11, Francis E Reyes wrote: CCP4'ers, Are 9 datasets the maximu

Hi Francis, the limit ist for CAD. You can put as much datasets as you want in one mtz, but you have to run cad than stepwise. Be careful with the column labels. Duplicate labels lead to problems. Christian Am Mittwoch 03 November 2010 18:11:34 schrieb Francis E Reyes: > CCP4'ers, > > Are 9 d

Yes, CAD is limited to 9 input files. I seem to remember I once tried to increase the limit, but got into problems (it is not just a case of increasing MAXFILES). It is far simpler and safer to run CAD iteratively. But an MTZ file can hold more. The current limits are: #define MXTALS 100 #d

OK! John prompted me to look more carefully at the images and they don't seem to be consistent with any optics or detector effect. Attached a Blowup (almost as strange as Antonioni's 1966 film with this name) of one of the areas. As others have pointed out already, the features are not round halo

I have a version which I modified a while back to handle up to 999 files simultaneously, and which I can send to anyone privately on request, as long as you accept the entire risk of using it (and you should probably also heed Martyn's warning!). It has probably diverged from the distributed versi

Hi Buz, Sorry to respond a little late, but if you are still tinkering with surface accessibility calculations, you can use the following web server that will calculate the "diffusion accessibility" of each atom in your input .pdb file: http://nihserver.mbi.ucla.edu/diff_acc/ "Diffusion access

I don't think it looks like satellite spots at all--it looks more like a flat diffuse scattering background or perhaps a diffuse ring, with some strange blanking/clearing of a circle around the spot. Perhaps it is a result of having not just the usual convolution of the molecule with the lattic
