Re: [ccp4bb] [3dem] Which resolution?

2020-03-12 Thread Bohdan Schneider
Hello, B-factors actually do have a physical meaning which is at least to some extent reflected by the crystal structures as refined. This can be demonstrated at higher resolution structures: when we created three tiers of structures, better than 1.9 Å, 1.9-2.4 Å, and 2.4-3.0 Å, structures in

Dear All, pentagons of water are one of the old myths from the past millennium: everyone talks about them, nobody has seen them. How many cases do you have in your structure, how many have you analyzed in the PDB? In other words, anecdotal evidence is fine, but what is their statistical signi

Dear Dhiraj, you may want to check our web service dnatco.datmos.org where you can also generate 3D constraints for refinement in Phenix. Best regards, Bohdan, bs.structbio.org On 2021-03-30 3:52, Srivastava, Dhiraj wrote: Thank you everyone for the help. I am sorry about phenix related que

Hello: this may not be 100% relevant to the discussed issue but to add a data analysis perspective: to be able to compare B factors in different structures, they need to be scaled. We used primitive but in my opinion functional linear scaling from 1 to 100 (Schneider et al. Acta Cryst D, D70:

apologies for a brief note: mmCIF is the default for structural biology data and the ways to avoid its use are just improvisations leading to more improvisations. Bohdan, bs.structbio.org On 2023-05-19 11:48, Frank von Delft wrote: Really, no CIF needed? As far as I know, it's only in the C

Dear Shawn, hello to Rutgers! dnatco.datmos.org reports local conformers in terms of *much extended* A/B/Z concept. The conformers are called NtC classes and can be generalized into a high-level structural alphabet CANA. NtC classes are defined for dinucleotide blocks because to catch conform
