Re: [ccp4bb] Estimating the amount of missing electron density for a model

2017-02-22 Thread Ethan A Merritt
Thank you Randy and Pavel for correcting my failure to find an appropriate tool in my mental toolbox. I was thinking too much in terms of examining a difference map rather than a performing a resolution-dependent analysis of Fo;Fc agreement. Is there a straight-forward way to extract what Hunter

Randy, Use of correlation makes normalization superfluous, but as you say it cannot distinguish from the causes of deviation which may not just be missing density. Pavel, Thanks for the reference. Will look at it more closely. But how is the error being separated into separate error components

Hi, I rarely disagree with Ethan, but there are in fact ways of getting some idea of how much of the ordered structure from your crystal is missing in your model. It's not based on the difference between Fo and Fc but rather more on the correlation between them and how that varies as a

This is a good point, the difference between Fo and Fc can be great if Fc is actually missing (an 'incomplete' structure). And of course this wreaks havok in defining the maskf for bulk solvent, and refinement, etc. Incomplete can be missing whole parts of the protein (say in model building) or

Re: [ccp4bb] Dimer in SDS-PAGE

2017-02-22 Thread Bert Van-Den-Berg
like others I'm not clear why you care where your protein runs on SDS-PAGE. I think the band you're seeing is in fact the tetramer, suggesting your protein (like KcsA) is very stable. Helical membrane proteins often migrate faster than expected (by their Mw) on SDS-PAGE. Also, never boil
