Dear Member of the CCP4 Community,
(Please note there's now an additional prize (sponsored by NAG) of £250 for the
winner of the 2021 CoSec Impact Award)
Would you describe yourself (or someone you know*) as a Masters or PhD student,
or an Early Career Researcher (i.e. with up to 5 years pos
Dear John,
It’s hard to be absolutely certain from the reproduction, but it looks like you
have equally high 2-fold axes all around the xy plane in the self-rotation
function. Do you have an explanation for that?
It would be helpful to know the heights of the Patterson peaks relative to the
o
I would look VERY carefully at your data processing. CCP4I2 report is a
good place to start.
The self rotation with the ring around the edge is hard to reconcile with
two molecules in the asymmetric unit.
Are the images clean or streaky? Do you have a photo of the crystal?
And by the way - you can
Dear colleagues,
I´m happy to announce the First Annual Scientific Meeting of
iNEXT-Discovery, an European project in the area of structural biology,
from which you can access several EU centers (X-ray, NMR, cryoEM and
biophysical technologies).
You are all invited to attend and register to
Hello, in the self-rotation function the peaks arising from the NCS rotation
axes are good at hiding under the peaks for the crystallographic rotations,
which is because they are actually translational NCS elements, I think. Also,
sorry Eleanor, a double-check on wikipedia confirms the space gro
One of the most lucid explanations of how translational NCS results in peaks in
a self-Patterson map is provided in Phil Evans’ classic paper, “Rotations and
rotation matrices”, which is an Open Access publication. In particular, check
out Figure 4, which illustrates a non-crystallographic dyad
Hi Fellows,
do I see this correctly that on the main PDB page for a HET entry, such as
https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/entry/pdb/4inx/bound/1EX
the link in pulldown downloads/CIF dictionary
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/msd/pdbechem/files/mmcif/1EX.cif
dead ends in the old HET cif directory
