[ccp4bb] Phaser question

2013-12-05 Thread vellieux
Hiyya all, I have a question about the latest Phaser output, concerning TFZ = and TFZ == . I do not know how to interpret outputs of the type TFZ = 5.2 TFZ == 54.1; TFZ = 5.8 TFZ == 63.0; TFZ = 6.4 TFZ == 19.7 (these are real TFZ figures coming from Phaser log files). I used to analyse the

Hi Fred, Send me the logfiles (off-line), because this shouldn't be happening and I'd like to have a look. That said, we've been seeing some similar problems in certain circumstances, i.e. B-factor refinement refines to significant negative B-factor values, and data at high resolution have ver

2013-12-05 Thread LISA
hi all, I try to solve the crystal structures of a mult-domain protein with phaser. I cannot solve the structure by automatic search using domain structure as the models. I tried to do the rotation search using the fast or brute rotation function. I defined the rotation search peaks number is 1000

Dear Careina – Orthogonal crystallization methods can be of great utility when optimizing crystallization conditions, since they offer a different sampling of the crystallization space. Orthogonal methods include: liquid-liquid diffusion, microbatch and dialysis. Liquid-liquid diffusion is kno

Hi, can you give a bit more information... Can you concentrate the protein easily to a higher concentration, let's say 2-3 times from what you have now, without precipitation? What is the buffer of your protein stock solution at the moment? At what

Hi All On similar lines, I have been trying to optimize crystallization conditions for my protein. Initially, I had showers of needles in a PEG screen which did not really improve after screening around the condition. So, I seeded these needles into all the screens that I have available and I hav

In one case of protein crystallization change of buffer ( final purification buffer) gave me better and bigger crystals, but in a different condition. best Puneet On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 6:38 PM, Mahesh Lingaraju wrote: > Hi All > > > On similar lines, I have been trying to optimize crystalliza

depending on how extensively you have screened so far, the most efficient thing to do may be to change the protein: different orthologs, truncations, mutagenesis of "entropy rich" clusters, change of tag location or tag cleavage etc. From: CCP4 bulletin board [C
