Re: [ccp4bb] off topic: rmsf in simulation

Different proteins do different things. Some adopt fewer conformations and a more rigid structure after binding a ligand, and others do the opposite. Haemoglobin is a nice example of a protein that becomes a lot more flexible after picking up ligands. For any reaction of the kind P + L -> PL ther

to complement the very nice description by jeremy, you may wish to try and decompose the vibrational modes to get this sense by focussing on the origins of the "red shift" in the vibrational spectrum and this accounts largely for the increased vibrational entropies upon complexation. This

Good points have been brought up; here's one more to consider from my experience. If you are going to run SEC prior to crystallization, I would highly recommend running a native gel of the peak you collect. Especially if you don't know the stoichiometry or if the stoichiometry is complex. I crystal

Hi All thanks for your detailed reply. A higher RMSF(as I showed in the png.) *doesnot *mean that the RMSD for Calpha backbone showed be high. Am I correct ?? Because in my case the backbone RMSD for the receptor of the peptide bound structure is lower than the receptor alone. Because I wanted to k
