[ccp4bb] microsoft 3-button wheel mouse with OS X 10.5
Dear All, Sorry for the slightly off-topic subject. We have recently bought a few iMacs for crystallography. I'm not keen on the supplied mighty mouse so I have switched to using a microsoft 3-button wheel mouse. I would like to configure it so that it behaves as it would with other unix systems such as RH Linux. i.e. (1) double-clicking with LH button on a file name selects ALL of the file name, not just up to the first full stop. (2) clicking the scroll wheel pastes the selected text AND it can be done multiple times without re-selecting. (2) I would like these functions to work in terminal windows, the ccp4i gui and web pages (and probably a few other things I haven't thought of yet!) AND be able to transfer the selected text between applications. I have installed the microsoft intellipoint drivers that seem to give more control over configuring the various buttons through system preferences, but I still can't get what I want. Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks Dave Lawson --- Dr. David M. Lawson Biological Chemistry Dept., John Innes Centre, Norwich, NR4 7UH, UK.

Then, try putting your mighty mouse back in and clicking on the little apple in the upper left of your screen, then click on System Preferences... then, in the System Preference window, click Keyboard Mouse. Click on the Mouse tab. You will be able to configure your mighty mouse to the exact behavior you want. Don't be freaked out by the unibody design or tiny little roller ball. It works eerily well and will all make sense after you use it for about 20 minutes. Give it a shot. Don't forget that you paid for *both* the M$ mice and the mighty mice, so you should experiment to see which one you like better.

[ccp4bb] antibody crystallization
Hi folks: A colleague has an antibody they would like a crystal structure of, bound to a peptide. Currently it is a whole antibody. From my superficial search of the literature, it looks like everyone uses Fab fragments in such cases. Is this true, and is it stupid to try the whole thing? If anyone would be kind enough to point me to a good methodological overview for crystallizing these things in the literature, I would be exceptionally grateful. Many thanks. Bill William G.
