[ccp4bb] PDBx/mmCIF data files to include PI information

2021-07-27 Thread John Berrisford
wwPDB continues to support research, education, and drug discovery worldwide. Open access to PDB data has helped researchers in structure-guided discovery and development of anti-coronavirus drugs, vaccines and neutralizing antibodies. When researchers analyze existing PDB structures, such as worki

Hi Experts,  I have a problem to see the residue information on COOT if I click on residue info and place the curser their its just blink and disappear as I want to reduce some occupancy manually and it did not work but for water and the other stuff its work completely fine but not for the amino

[ccp4bb] Problems with crystals diffracting

2021-07-27 Thread Rakesh Chatterjee
Hi everyone I was working on a protein complex where one protein binds with the other protein majorly based on its surface charge. The protein complex yields nice crystals but does not diffract. Additionally the crystals used to dissolve within the drop when allowed for incubation both at 18 deg

I don't know about solving this in Coot but would using a plain text editor on the PDB file be a way to work around the issue? There is also the spreadsheet-style PDB editor in i2?? Sent from ProtonMail mobile Original Message On 27 Jul 2021, 15:21, Afshan Begum wrote: > Hi E

Have you tried including a small amount of chymotrypsin? There were quite a few papers about this technique 10-15 years ago. It worked for one of our proteins, but I'm not sure about its success with complexes. Good luck, Jon.C. Sent from ProtonMail mobile Original Message On

Hey Dr Afshan, You can also check the tab menu: Measure>Go to Atoms. There you can enter the residue number. The particular residue will be selected, and centred. Thereafter go to the Measure tab, and click residue info. A dialogue box will pop open, and there you may edit the values. I hope this

Hey Rakesh, Such are the questions that every crystallographer faces in his/her everyday life. I am not sure if there is any straight forward answer. So make voyages ! Terese Bergfors mentioned in her famous book, "Protein crystallization" a case where a Scientist from Umea Uni got the diffraction

2021-07-27 Thread Schreuder, Herman /DE
Hi Rakesh, The first question I have is: why do the crystals dissolve after some time? Did you use a ligand for crystallization that might be turned-over by the protein? What I would do first in your case is to try to find a stabilizing buffer. Since you have obtained nice-looking crystals, ther
