[ccp4bb] ccp4 on Mac Intel

2011-05-03 Thread Sebastiano Pasqualato
Dear all, I have installed ccp4 with the dmg package, and everything is installed nicely in the Application folder, and I can get ccp4i working just by launching from the ccp4 icon. However, I would also like to have the commands working from a X11 terminal, to get it working for, say xia2.

sometimes, a little bit change of concentration of your precipitate or pH buffer can affect your crystal. My suggestion is setup a appropriate gradient of your precipitate and additive.

Hi Klaus, that's pretty much the point. With the .dmg install, there are no setup files coming. I know I could use fink and Bill Scott's way to install the package, and have everything running, but was wondering if it would have been possible with the .dmg installation, much faster and

Hello all: I am trying to generate a cif file for a new ligand using PRODRG server. The server generates cif file without any problem. The problem comes when I try to load the cif file in Coot and try to model the ligand into the electron density. It gives an error message like this..

Hi James, The concept of insertion code arose when one species was sequenced and studied and then it turned out that there were both insertions and deletions in the sequence of the analogous molecule for some other species. In analyzing and discussing structure, e.g. the catalytic

James, interesting that you chose residue number 32 for your example, because that is the number of one of the two active-site ASPs in the aspartic proteinase family (the other is ASP 215) that I (with Tom Blundell others) worked on for many years. So Ed, it's not just relevant to the WuKabat
