Re: [ccp4bb] Unusual electron density - any guesses??

Well I would start by flipping the carbonyl oxygen then see if the
side chain can use the density - what are the B values for the
neighbouring stuff?

 Is that a glycine in the sequence next to the Glu/Gln?  Have you tried 
 building a 50% occ of the backbone in that region in two conformations, and 
 then a water molecule further up into the feature.  The density over the 
 carbonyl looks weak and you have some negative density there that might 
 indicate mixed conformation.

 Just an idea, hard to tell from still images if my idea would work.

 Subject: [ccp4bb] Unusual electron density - any guesses??

 Dear All,
 I'm refining an X-ray structure to 1.6A resolution in BUSTER-TNT v2.10.
 The model is pretty much finished but I see a strange electron density that I 
 can't imagine what it is.

 Please take a look at four snapshots in http://www.itqb.unl.pt/~jbrito/ITQB/ 
 . Any pointers/guesses are most welcome.

 In short, I see an oblong piece of density coming straight out of the 
 main-chain!! It doesn't refine as a chain of waters and any small piece of 
 PEG doesn't refine properly either (actually, not sure if this would make any 
 sense but since the crystallization condition is PEG3350 and gave it a try!!).

 The crystallization condition is PEG3350, Bis.Tris buffer, (NH4)2SO4 and NaI. 
 The protein was purified from recombinant expression in E. coli with 
 trivial reagents: Tris and Bis.Tris buffers, NaCl, glycerol, ...

 Wishing you all an excellent weekend, best regards, Jose

[ccp4bb] Off-topic: GST binding to cleaved protein - problem with seperating

2013-10-28 Thread Read, Jon
Just a quick off-topic question which people here may have experience in:

We have a protein which expresses with a GST tag. It has much poorer expression 
without. When the tag is cleaved, the protein does not crash out but we are 
having difficulty separating it as the proteins seem to stick together. When 
run on a GST column, some of the protein elutes with GST and some sticks to the 
column with GST. We are losing over 90% in this manner. The protein expresses 
to ~2mg/ml but is relatively stable and has crystallized. If anyone has similar 
experiences that they managed to resolve(or didn't) or any suggestions, I would 
appreciate it.

[ccp4bb] Conflicting Qt on OS X 10.6

2013-10-28 Thread Dmitry Rodionov
Good day!

I'm having problems with qtrview (on OS X 10.6): it crashes or hangs after 
spitting out a screenful of messages like

objc[2975]: Class QCocoaMenu is implemented in both 
/Applications/ccp4-6.4.0/bin/../Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui and 
/Library/Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui. One of the two will be 
used. Which one is undefined.

Just like the message says, I have Qt 4 installed in the standard location. It 
seems like the global Qt it is being used instead of the one supplied with CCP4 
6.4 since moving /Library/Frameworks/Qt* elsewhere fixes the problem.
Oddly enough, qtrview of CCP4 6.3 worked fine under the same conditions.

Is there a way to make qtrview use CCP4's Qt and ignore other versions?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Dmitry

2013-10-28 Thread Elspeth Garman
The Eighth International Workshop on X-ray Radiation Damage to Biological 
Crystalline Samples will be held at the EMBL and DESY, Hamburg, Germany  from 
April 10th (13:00) to April 12th (13:00) 2014.
 
This series of workshops was originally concerned with the effects of radiation 
damage during investigation of protein structures by X-ray crystallography. 
Other techniques of structural biology are now being included to ensure greater 
information exchange. The workshop will therefore be of interest to all those 
using ionising radiation to examine biological structures at the molecular 
level.
It will consist of around 25 talks of 20-25 minutes each, with slots allocated 
for discussion. 

The sessions will cover:

Session 1 - Basic Understanding of Radiation Damage Mechanisms 
Session 2 - Damage at New Sources - XFEL and new synchrotrons 
Session 3 - Practical Aspects of Managing and Reducing Radiation Damage
Session 4 - Biological studies affected by Radiation Damage 
Session 5 - Radiation Damage in Complementary Fields (electron microscopy, 
SAXS, EPR, etc.) 
Session 6  - Serial Crystallography 
Session 7 - Additional Aspects of Radiation Damage

Registration and Poster Abstract submission will be open in a few weeks' time.
The cost of registration will be confirmed at that time, but will be more for 
registrations after 15th March.
Abstract submission will close on March 15th.
Some abstracts will be selected for oral presentation - please indicate if you 
would like to be considered for this in the comments box on the registration 
form.
If you have suggestions for speakers, please contact Martin Weik (w...@ibs.fr) 
or Elspeth Garman (elspeth.gar...@bioch.ox.ac.uk).
The organizers are Gleb Bourenkov, Henry Chapman, Alke Meents, Thomas

I don't know whether your question is specifically for protein-ligand 
interactions, protein-protein interactions, internal protein interactions, 
etc., but one place to start is to look at some of the database tools already 
available on-line, including, for example, CREDO from Tom Blundell's group, 
which is a nice database of pairwise interactions (intra- and intermolecular) 
between ligands and proteins.

There are also commercial products that do interaction searches in the PDB, but 
they are quite expensive.

options (we have both).
The XPR36 is a higher throughput machine and can also be used for small

had anticipated and certainly higher throughput).
Good luck,  tom

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe-as/pdbesearch/

allows you upload a fragment of structure - a small number of residues 
that are arranged in space,
typically an active site.  For example, you can upload an example of the 
catalytic triad (or quartet)
as a PDB file.  You need only provide the atom records for 6 or less 
residues cut out of a normal

PDB file from any source.   This will search the
entire PDB for this arrangement of residues based on the CA atoms or 
side chain atoms; the

latter is slower and can take a minute.

The search will either match residue type exactly with geometry, or 
match similar residues (ie acid to acid).


The three other tools from the main page
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe-as/pdbetemplate/

allow you carry out various analysis of the PDB using a pre calculated 
set of residue arrangements
such as the catalytic triad / quartet.  These 1972 residue arrangements 
(some are active sites) were
generated by statistical data mining using a Bayesian statistical 
methods to identify these

residue patterns.  You can browse these:
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe-as/pdbetemplate/DMfragmentsBrowse.jsp

search 1 protein with 1 fragment :
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe-as/pdbetemplate/DMSingleFit.jsp

or label a single protein with all the 1972 data mined fragments.  A 
sort of auto-annotation

of a structure with predefined fragments.

You should be aware that the fragment database was calculated using a 
mathematical
target which does not say what biological role of the fragments in the 
data.  They are

provided as a means to carry out your own research.

I don't know whether your question is specifically for protein-ligand 
interactions, protein-protein interactions, internal protein 
interactions, etc., but one place to start is to look at some of the 
database tools already available on-line, including, for example, 
CREDO from Tom Blundell's group, which is a nice database of pairwise 
interactions (intra- and intermolecular) between ligands and proteins.


There are also commercial products that do interaction searches in the 
PDB, but they are quite expensive.

Subject: [ccp4bb] Data mining interactions in the PDB

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a software or server to mine the PDB 
for a specific class of interactions? I've tried PDBeMotif without 
much luck and I thought I'd check to see if there was an alternative 
before I go re-inventing the wheel.


Cheers,
Katherine

Re: [ccp4bb] Conflicting Qt on OS X 10.6

2013-10-28 Thread Eugene Krissinel
Yes, this is a result of some imperfectness in shared build (6.3.0 was static). 
The bug should have been fixed in updated release bundles, and also in the 
recent update.

Thanks for the suggestions!
I just opened a new terminal window, and it appears that problem had 
disappeared (by itself?).
Sorry for the false alarm- I'll go see a mental health professional.

 Good day!

 I'm having problems with qtrview (on OS X 10.6): it crashes or hangs after 
 spitting out a screenful of messages like

 objc[2975]: Class QCocoaMenu is implemented in both 
 /Applications/ccp4-6.4.0/bin/../Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui 
 and /Library/Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui. One of the two 
 will be used. Which one is undefined.

 Just like the message says, I have Qt 4 installed in the standard location. 
 It seems like the global Qt it is being used instead of the one supplied 
 with CCP4 6.4 since moving /Library/Frameworks/Qt* elsewhere fixes the 
 problem.
 Oddly enough, qtrview of CCP4 6.3 worked fine under the same conditions.

 Is there a way to make qtrview use CCP4's Qt and ignore other versions?

 Thanks!

 Best regards,
  Dmitry
