[ccp4bb] Negative IOBS in XDS

2013-08-27 Thread Niu Tou
Dear Colleagues, When I processed one data set with XDS, the index step said there is no sufficient (<50%) spots indexed, however after I tried various parameters to get the same cell unit and space group, I chose to ignore this message and wen on to integration. During the integration I had to

[ccp4bb] How to apply "correction factors" for translational NCS in PHASER?

2013-10-22 Thread Niu Tou
Dear All, I have a MR case which may contain two different molecules, ideally 1:1 ratio. Solvent content analysis indicates most likely to be 4~6 hetero molecules. The data shows at least 5 strong translational NCS vectors. When I tried to run PHASER, it always said "correction factors NOT applie

[ccp4bb] Fix cell dimensions

2013-11-18 Thread Niu Tou
Dear All, Does any one know how to strictly fix the cell dimensions during data processing? In HKL2000 there is only a keyword to define the longest vector. In XDS there is a option to input cell parameters, but sometimes the program would not follow the input values and switch back to the one it

[ccp4bb] Refinement of data with pseudo translation symmetry

Dear All, Does any body know if the existence of pseudo translation symmetry will affect refinement ? If it does, is there any keyword or method to avoid it? Thanks! Best, Niu

[ccp4bb] Difficult MR with MBP fusion protein

2014-05-16 Thread Niu Tou
Dear All, Recently we collected some data of a MBP fusion protein, at around 4A resolution. The protein itself is about half of the MBP size. However when we tried to solve it with MR, it failed. We tried to use MBP alone, homology model of target protein alone, and MBP+model. It is very strange t

[ccp4bb] map manipulation questions

2014-05-19 Thread Niu Tou
Dear All, I have a ccp4 format map file in P1 spacegroup, I would like to manipulate it in several ways: 1. enlarge the cell dimension . When I tried "CELL" keyword in MAPMAN, the density scaled up together with the cell dimension. Does anybody know how to do it without changing the density? 2.

Dear Collegues, Does anybody know how to use the server http://checkcif.iucr.org/? I have downloaded structure factor and structure model cif files of a structure from PDB. However it looks this server only accept one single file, it does not work if these two files are uploaded separately. My ques

[ccp4bb] Series termination effect calculation.

Dear Colleagues, I am trying to repeat a series termination effect calculation displayed as figure 2 in a publihsed paper (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12215645). Formula (1) was used to implement this calculation. Since f(s) is not defined in detail in this paper, I used formula and paramet

[ccp4bb] Program for map rotation

Dear colleagues, Is there any program can rotate a density map (generated by FFT, could be read in Coot and Pymol) given the matrix? I have tried Extension->Maps-> Transform map by LSQ model fit, it looks doesnot work. While the program Edit/Rotate map & Mask in CCP4 gave an error message: mapmask

2012-09-25 Thread Niu Tou
Dear Colleagues, Does anybody know if the definition of rotation parameters in Maprot are different from that of Coot? I used Coot to superimpose a model A to model B, to get a new model A* and rotation parameters (Euler angles and translations), howerver when I used these parameters to move the o
