[ccp4bb] Mg or water?

2011-12-14 Thread bie gao
Hi every, I'm working with 2 crystal forms of a protein from 2 different crystallization conditions. Condition 1 has 100mM MgCl2. Condition 2 doesn't. Both are ~2.9 angstrom. The 2 structures are virtually identical except in condition1, there is a clear positive density surrounded by a Glu side

[ccp4bb] Y-Chi2 running out of chart

2011-06-22 Thread bie gao
Dear Colleagues, I'm collecting a dataset on our recently repaired Rigaku home source. Crystal diffracts to 2.2A. Indexing seems to be all fine. However, during integration, I realize Y-Chi2 is increasing constantly (from 2 to 4.5, almost linear) within 60 degree collection, whereas X-Chi2 stays t

BTW, I've collected a better dataset with reasonable Chi2. Seems like the first crystal is imperfect. Thank everyone for your help! On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 7:59 PM, bie gao wrote: > Jim, that's the first thing I tried - triclinic gave similar Y-Chi2 > profile. > Shiva, not

Dear all, Does anyone know how to measure distance between coiled-coil helices? prefer axis distance, but residue distance is fine too. Thanks! Jinhua
