Re: [ccp4bb] Opinion on automation

Hello Teresa, I need to disagree with Graeme over the idea that ccp4i 'hides' what is happening. If you care to you can see all the gorey details of command files, log files etc.. You can run the programs one step at a time and with various modes with ccp4i and iMosflm and learn something of

Norbert, Sorry for this late reply. SSM will find multiple alternative matches but most implementations just show you the 'best'. The Superposition tool in CCP4mg uses ssm and has an option to look through the non- optimal matches - hopefully one of these will be the one that you want. L

Miri, For matching similar small molecules you can try in CCP4mg as described at http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~ccp4mg/ccp4mg_help/superpose.html#interactive_selection the 'user defined' superposition option with 'monomer' mode. This does 2D graph isomorphism for the atoms in one residue.

Hi Mattias, CCP4mg will list contact areas in the form of the attached file. This is evaluating the buried area (ie difference is solvent accessible area with and without the ligand bound). It ought to be possible to run a script if you have a significant number of structures - contact me for

Hello Manfred and CCP4bb, Funny, you are not the only person trying to something like this, so I have a CCP4mg script (attached) which does the job. You do need a recent version of ccp4mg for it to work - contact me for details. Liz On Thursday 08 March 2007 15:33, Manfred S. Weiss wrote: >

Dear CCP4bb, The intention with CCP4i GUIs is that those folders which are open by default (after you have chosen the mode of action from the top protocol folder) are for everyone and those that are closed by default are for experts OR difficult cases. Unfortunately that is an OR not an AND; t

Tim & Yanming, Our first suggestion is to try the latest version (1.0) - a few startup issues were fixed between the two versions. Normally I would encourage you to use the python version distributed with ccp4mg. The C++/Python interface was built against a particular version of Python and pro

Sebastiano, I can suggests one approach to finding core residues.. CCP4mg will calculate the total asa buried per residue and residues can be selected by the criteria of their buried area. One way to define the protein core would be to select residues with, say, <5.0A*2 asa. You can easily se

Hi Anders and CCP4bb Would something like http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~ccp4mg/index_info_5.html (done with CCP4mg) be useful? In that image the molecule surface is coloured by electrostatics (but could be any other property) and the contact area to a ligand is indicated by dots on the surface.

Jan, CCP4mg uses the same MTZ->map code as COOT - one thing that will make a difference in time is the resolution of the map. Overwise I'm not sure that ther is much that you can do - on the other hand the developers are busy converting CCP4mg to use Qt rather than Tcl/Tk for the GUI and this h

Hi Oliv, I'm sorry, I think you will need to edit the output file from Sketcher _mon_lib.cif - the torsions section ( _chem_comp_tor) will have something like test CONST_1 C1 C2 C3 C4 180.0 0.0 0 the 180 needs changing to 0.0. I think that is all you need to do - no doubt someone
