[ccp4bb] Strange SFALL error

Dear CCP4ers, I've created an artificial map in C2 with MAPMAN and made sure that the axis order and sampling is consistent with SFALL, which I want to use for calculating structure factors from this map. However, SFALL (MODE SFCALC MAPIN) fails with the rather obscure error message:

[ccp4bb] first week of CCP4 community wiki

Dear all, one week ago the CCP4 community wiki at http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index.php/Main_Page was announced. I had to learn the meaning of the word slashdotted on that occasion (thanks Paul!). In the meantime there have been a total of 3,037 page views, and 250

[ccp4bb] counting constraints?

Hi, The recent discussion on Rwork/Rfree ratio reminded me of something I was wondering about (*). When counting constraints as observations for determining the observation to parameter ratio, is each unique constraint counted, or each time a given constraint is used. For example, if there

[ccp4bb] ncs symmetry planes, and bias

I really enjoyed the recent discussion of ncs coupling and bias on ccp4bb, as usual. Although unlikely, the problem will be real in a significant number of cases. At this time there is sufficient computing power so that refinement calculations can be made with several different test sets. In

Re: [ccp4bb] counting constraints?

Peter, Bart Actually the restraint weight doesn't affect the restraint count one iota and as far as counting is concerned each restraint has exactly one 'vote' in the count. However there is an important proviso: the restraints must be completely independent to contribute fully to the count.

Re: [ccp4bb] counting constraints?

Peter, Sorry I re-read your e-mail realised you're asking a slightly different question from the one I answered. Of course you count the restraints in your structure, not the ones in the dictionary, so in the example you give there would be 4 not 1. Each bond, angle, torsion, VDW contact,

Re: [ccp4bb] counting constraints?

Thanks Ian, I saw experimental observations and restraints (empirical observations) as completely different but I now see they are just two different sources of information that restrain the model parameters. So when you are counting they can all get one vote as long as the observations are

Re: [ccp4bb] counting constraints?

Bart Yes, I think Peter's original question arose in the context of predicting Rfree. For that we have to consider the *total* restraint count separately from the total observation count, and provided each restraint is independent of all other restraints it counts as one, and similarly provided

Re: [ccp4bb] counting constraints?

The point where this restraint discussion regarding counting of restraints seems to become murky imho, is when it comes to 'independence' of restraints. Ok - say only active and independent restraints (AIRs) count in the determination of observation/parameter ratio, where observations includes

Dear all, I just ran into this problem and would like to see if I could get some helpful tips before my protein completely crashes out. I have a protein as 6His fusion and it remained bound to the Ni resin with 40 mM Imidazole wash (added to 1XPBS) but then was eluted off with 200 mM (added to
