Re: [ccp4bb] off-topic: negative thermal shift upon ligand binding

In theory, what you say is quite sensible. But there is one interesting counter example I am aware of.The fragment tool compound that eventually gave rise to the clinical compound indeglitazar ( http://www.pnas.org/content/106/1/262.full.pdf) gives a negative shift by DSF (in our hands):

What are you using to dissolve the compounds? If DMSO or other organics, you maybe witnessing unfolding due to the organics. Have you done a control of just the solution with the protein. Some compounds may drastically change the pH of the buffer your protein is in. You maybe observing a

[ccp4bb] off-topic: negative thermal shift upon ligand binding

2017-07-08 Thread megha abbey
Hello, I am working on DSF to verify if some compounds bind to my protein. I see a negative shift of about 3-4 degrees upon ligand addition (dose-response) in comparison to the protein alone. I assume that this might be due to the binding of compound to the unfolded stated rather than folded

Dear All, Does Arcimboldo actually run on WIndows as I can see it is installed and so is ShelxE, but I have a warning in the GUI saying "ShelxE is not found and option to run on 'this machine' is disabled. Is this a bug, do I need alter something so get it to recognize ShelxE or it does not

But R-merge is not really narrower as a fraction of the mean value- it just gets smaller proportionantly as all the numbers get smaller: RMSD of .0043 for R-meas multiplied by factor of 0.022/.027 gives 0.0035 which is the RMSD for Rmerge. The same was true in the previous example. You could

The expected distribution of Rmeas values is still wider than that of Rmerge for data with I/sigma=30 and average multiplicity=2.0. Graph attached. I expect that anytime you incorporate more than one source of information you run the risk of a noisier statistic because every source of

It is quite easy to end up with low multiplicities in the low resolution shell, especially for low symmetry and fast-decaying crystals. It is this scenario where Rmerge (lowres) is more misleading than Reas. phx On 08/07/2017 17:31, James Holton wrote: What does Rmeas tell us that Rmerge

Anyway, back to reality: does anybody still use R statistics to evaluate anything other than /strong/ data? Certainly I never look at it except for the low-resolution bin (or strongest reflections). Specifically, a "2%-dataset" in that bin is probably healthy, while a "9%-dataset" probably

Sorry for the confusion. I was going for brevity! And failed. I know that the multiplicity correction is applied on a per-hkl basis in the calculation of Rmeas. However, the average multiplicity over the whole calculation is most likely not an integer. Some hkls may be observed twice while
