[ccp4bb] Looking for PDB His-tag statistics

2011-01-07 Thread Snijder, Arjan
Dear all, Best wishes for the new year! I am looking for some statistics about the fraction of protein structures in the pdb that are actually crystallized with a His tag, and from those crystallized with a His tag whether these construct were engineered with a cleavable tag or not. Has an

I vaguely remember a paper by Aled Edwards, where they did the statistics for their targets at SGC. As far as I recall they engineer with cleavable tag purify and cyrstallize it first with tag and only if they don't get crystals or a structure they cleave off the tag and rerun the screens. I thi

Hi Kenneth, There are recognized advantages to including riding hydrogens during refinement, even at low resolution. Others have written on this better than I could (the following link is a post to the CCP4bb from the archives): http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/ccp4bb/2002/msg01215.html -An

The RCSB PDB site (www.pdb.org) provides as sequence motif search as an advanced search option. For example to search for a N-terminal (His)6 tag, use the following regular expression: ^HH or HH to find any sequence with a (His)6 pattern. Click on this link to retrieve all seq

Obviously, this depends a bit on which refinement program you use, and I am not familiar with all of them. However, I have had some conversations with Garib "refmac" Murshudov and Pavel "phenix.refine" Afonine about this, and the shocking answer appears to be "no". Carbon has six electrons, e

Hi,all I refined a protein-ligand complex structure using Refmac5 and got the map coefficient "A.mtz" file. I want to represent the electron density in Pymol, so I transformed "A.mtz" into "A.map" ccp4-format map file using FFT in ccp4i (parameters are: generate "simple" map in "CCP4" format to co

Hi, Nian, Thanks for your reply. I figured out the problem just now. The difference indeed came from my FFT transformation. I just used all default parameters when I transform "A.mtz" to "A.map", so in the "Run FFT" dialog, F1= F, Sigma=SIGF, PHI=PHIC, Weight=Unaasigned, and I got "A.map" under th

Hi Zhihong - You should use 'FWT' and 'PHWT'. These are the sigma-A weighted 2Fo-Fc map coefficients (likewise, 'DELFWT' and 'PHDELWT' are the sigma-A weighted Fo-Fc map coefficients). The sigma-A weighted 2Fo-Fc map (also known as the mFo-DFc map) has become the standard electron density map

Matthew & Nat, Thanks very much, your answers made me much clear about the map manipulating, as well as usage of Refmac and FFT. Just from my results, I think I agree with Nat that "Sigma" and "Weight" is unnecessary when running FFT based on a Refmac-resulted mtz file, since my "A1.map" is exactl

Dear James, I did once write a refinement program so I should try to answer your question. All hydrogen atoms attached to C and N in standard proteins and almost all in DNSs and RNAs can be calculated geometrically with no ambiguities. This has been standard practice in SHELX for about 35 years
