Re: [ccp4bb] Summary: Phasing statistics
Since it is suggested to run SHARP in order to obtain the phasing statistics, I take the liberty to provide a link where the expressions for relevant quantities are specified : http://www.globalphasing.com/pipermail/sharp-discuss/2003-March/001490.html As a general problem, all these statistical indicators were defined in the early days of protein crystallography, in the context of the Blow Crick (1959) framework (i.e. assuming error-free native measurements) using MIR data (i.e. essentially yielding unimodal phase probability distributions). The R-Cullis was initially defined for centric reflections only. Modern maximum-likelihood phasing methods have abandoned the Blow Crick concept of error-free native measurements and use a full 2-dimensional probability distribution for acentric structure factors on the complex plane. The methods are therefore capable of adequately dealing with highly bimodal probability distributions (e.g. SIR, SAD) and with data where there is no native (or otherwise special) data set (e.g. MAD). It is not entirely evident how the Blow Crick Phasing-Power, R-Cullis and FOM can be extended and generalized. The approach adopted in SHARP is described in the page whose link is given above. Concerning the FOM, it is not strictly true that the FOM, evaluated on a 2-dimensional probability distribution is equal to the cosine of the phase error., This is only the case if one assumes the native amplitude to be error-free. However, the cases discussed by Ian (bimodal distributions in SIR or SAD) will be correctly dealt with by SHARP. Things become also more tricky when computing and using Hendrickson-Lattman (1970) coefficients since, in the general case, these can not be calculated in a meaningful way for the native phase probability distribution (see the discussion in section 8 of Bricogne et al. (2003) [Acta Cryst D.59, 2023-2030]. This is a very important issue in connection with the subsequent use of density-modification techniques, but it is often overlooked. Marc Harmer, Nicholas wrote: Dear Colleagues, I am very grateful to everyone who contributed to the discussion regarding phasing statistics that I initiated. I certainly found it very informative. Below is a summary of the technical responses that I regarding this problem. 1) Use some of the statistics that SHELXD and SHELXE do provide (e.g. CC/CCfree for SHELXD, CCfree and connectivity for SHELXE). These could be compared to statistics produced for well determined structures (e.g. see Debreczeni et al. 2003 Acta Cryst. D., D59, 688-696). 2) Take the results from SHELX and put them into SHARP to generate the statistics. 3) Take the results from SHELX and put them into phaser_er, CRANK, or MLPHARE (perhaps with more difficulty) to generate the statistics. Thanks to Rick Lewis, Boaz Shaanan, Ed Lowe and Eleanor Dodson for suggestions. Cheers, Nic Harmer [For anyone interested, I took approaches 1 and 2. I got a good figures for phasing power from SHARP (somehow I failed to find the Rcullis, never mind), quoted the FOM at the end of SHELX, and the values for CC/CCfree from SHELXD, and the map contrast in the original and inverted hands from SHELXE. These all looked quite convincing, so hopefully my referees will be happy.] -- Marc SCHILTZ http://lcr.epfl.ch

Hussain Bhukyagps wrote: Hi! their is no connection between the metal and ligand in my pdb.. how can i generate bonds between them using pymol..?? by the way the distance between ligands and metal is 1.8-2.0 Ao...?? Hussain Hi, What about specifying the bonds with CONECT records in the PDB file? From the PDB specs section: CONECT Overview The CONECT records specify connectivity between atoms for which coordinates are supplied. The connectivity is described using the atom serial number as found in the entry. CONECT records are mandatory for HET groups (excluding water) and for other bonds not specified in the standard residue connectivity table which involve atoms in standard residues (see Appendix 4 for the list of standard residues). These records are generated by the PDB. Record Format COLUMNS DATA TYPEFIELD DEFINITION - 1 - 6 Record name CONECT 7 - 11 Integer serial Atom serial number 12 - 16 Integer serial Serial number of bonded atom 17 - 21 Integer serial Serial number of bonded atom 22 - 26 Integer serial Serial number of bonded atom 27 - 31 Integer serial Serial number of bonded atom 32 - 36 Integer serial Serial number of hydrogen bonded atom 37 - 41 Integer serial Serial number of hydrogen bonded atom 42 - 46 Integer serial Serial number of salt bridged atom 47 - 51 Integer serial Serial number of hydrogen bonded atom 52 - 56 Integer serial Serial number of hydrogen bonded atom 57 - 61 Integer serial Serial number of salt bridged atom Details * Intra-residue connectivity within non-standard (HET) residues (excluding water) is presented on the CONECT records. * Inter-residue connectivity of HET groups to standard groups (including water) or to other HET groups are represented on the CONECT records. * Disulfide bridges specified in the SSBOND records have corresponding CONECT records. * Hydrogen bonds and salt bridges have CONECT records. * No differentiation is made between donor and acceptor for hydrogen bonds. * No differentiation is made between atoms with excess negative or positive charge. * Atoms specified in the connectivity are presented by their serial numbers as found in the entry. * All atoms connected to the atom with serial number in columns 7 - 11 are listed in the remaining fields of the record. * If more than four fields are required for non-hydrogen and nonsalt-bridge bonds, a second CONECT record with the same atom serial number in columns 7 - 11 will be used. * These CONECT records occur in increasing order of the atom serial numbers they carry in columns 7 - 11. The target-atom serial numbers carried on these records also occur in increasing order. * The connectivity list given here is redundant in that each bond indicated is given twice, once with each of the two atoms involved specified in columns 7 - 11. * For nucleic acids, Watson-Crick hydrogen bonds between bases may be listed, but this is optional. * For hydrogen bonds, when the hydrogen atom is present in the coordinates, PDB generates a CONECT record between the hydrogen atom and its acceptor atom. * For NMR entries, CONECT records for all models are generated describing heterogen connectivity and others for LINK records. Verification/Validation/Value Authority Control Connectivity is checked for unusual bond lengths. Relationships to Other Record Types CONECT records must be present in an entry that contains either non-standard groups or disulfide bonds. Example 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 CONECT 1179 746 1184 1195 1203 CONECT 1179 1211 1222 CONECT 1021 544 1017 1020 1022 1211 1222 1311 Known Problems Only five digits are available for the atom serial number, but some structures have already been received with more that 99,999 atoms. Changing the field length would make earlier entries incorrect. CONECTs to atoms whose coordinates are not in the entry (e.g., symmetry-generated) are not given.

Re: [ccp4bb] Entering mosflm keywords in imosflm 1.0.4
The required keystrokes are described (although somewhat hidden) under the heading What's new in version 1.0.0 in the imosflm web page. (www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/harry/imosflm/ver104) . There are good reasons for this option not being well advertised. One is that if keywords entered in this way set parameters that can also be set via the Experiment Settings or Processiong Options menus, the value set by the keyword will be overwritten and have no effect. Another is that we would like users to tell us which additional parameters they would like to be able to set (via the menus mentioned) so that we can assign priorities. Allowing all possible keyword options would make these menus unreasonably complicated which defeats one of the design goals for the interface.

Use bond command bond atom1, atom2 once you do that, any subsequent line and stick renderings will connect the atom1 and atom2 (you can right-click on the corresponding atom to see their full string representation). I assume you are trying to do something like this http://tinyurl.com/y2cdezj In this figure, metal ion was connected to its ligands by lines, not sticks. Lines become thicker once you do ray-tracing.

For example, 1CRY whose title reports using the MR method does not include the info in the proper REMARK. - Users are allowed to write almost anything as the METHOD USED TO DETERMINE THE STRUCTURE, making it difficult an accurate report. OCA found PDB italian speaking structure files reporting 'MOLECULARE REPLACEMENT' ... This and other problems are being reported to RCSB. OCA makes public some of its internal statistics on PDB, like http://oca.weizmann.ac.il/oca-docs/PDBSizeDistribution.html, http://bip.weizmann.ac.il/oca-bin/pdbRecNames and http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Believe_It_or_Not Regards, Jaim -- Dr Jaime Prilusky | jaime.prilu...@weizmann.ac.il Head Bioinformatics| RD Bioinformatics and Data Management | Department of Biological Services | Weizmann Institute of Science | fax: 972-8-9344113 76100 Rehovot - Israel | tel: 972-8-9344959 OCA, http://oca.weizmann.ac.il (the protein structure/function database) Proteopedia, http://proteopedia.org (because life has more than 2D)

Well, I have to admit that that whole R32 vs H32 thing bugs me too ...

I would also suggest CP Snow, The search, written in 1934 Very crystallographic, very touching, probably inspired by CP Snow friend JD Bernal This is about our life, friends...

[ccp4bb] Arp Waters vs coot find waters!
Hi everyone, I am in the process of refining my structure. I have built almost the whole protein. Now its time to add waters. Should I do refinement in refmac5 with (adding waters running coot) or should I use Arp/wArp waters or both?. I have 2.15 Angs near data and about 1200 residues. Does it matter which program I use to add water? Is there something specific I should look for? I apologise in advance if this question has already been asked before. Thanks, Ivan
