[ccp4bb] Tenure track position at Vanderbilt Univ.

2021-08-30 Thread Jackson, Lauren Parker
Dear colleagues, I wanted to highlight a tenure track job that may appeal to structural biologists, biochemists, and/or biophysicists. Happy to answer any questions you may have. Best, Lauren Vanderbilt University invites applications for a tenure-track, faculty position in evolutionary

Hi Robbie I also use them quite regularly (less so coordconv, although I do use it), typically from the command line Thanks, Alejandro > On Aug 30, 2021, at 17:38, James Holton wrote: > > I use pdbset, coordconv and sftools a LOT. Usually for things no other > programs do, like converting

I use pdbset, coordconv and sftools a LOT.  Usually for things no other programs do, like converting to fractional coordinates, and performing math operations on mtz data. Always from command line scripts. -James Holton MAD Scientist On 8/26/2021 3:29 AM, Robbie Joosten wrote: Dear CCP4

Dear Eleanor, Thanks for pointing out that CCP4 FreeRflag selects the test set in the highest possible symmetry for the crystal class! I didn't know that. The following sentences (which are somewhat difficult to understand for me) in https://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/freerflag.html appear to

Dear Robbie, I don't use ccp4 regularly (since our structures are mainly small molecule structures), but when I do, I often use pdbset. I use it to remove het-atoms, or side chains, or water molecules, or reset the B-value. I also use sftools. I have a script for calculating Rcomplete with

Dear Andrew, what I meant is "Everything else being equal, bad data result in a larger Rfree-Rwork gap than good data". Of course the gap also depends on the resolution, and other factors. best wishes, Kay On Mon, 30 Aug 2021 16:59:12 +0100, Andrew Leslie - MRC LMB wrote: >Dear Kay and

Back to FreeR factors - Phenix, and I believe FreeRflag now select FreeRs in the highest possible symmetry for the crystal class - eh P6/mmm for a trigonal crystal, and expand the set to fill the actual space group. This means the Free R assignment is suitable if later the crystal symmetry is

Dear Kay and Jon, I cannot remember Ian Tickles original posting on this (assuming that it was made to the bulletin board), but surely the resolution of the data is also a very important factor in the danger of over-fitting. The lower the resolution, the worse the experimental data to refined

Hi Jon, generally I agree that the accuracy of the data is inversely related to the danger of overfitting, and that selection in shells is not necessary. But if twinning is suspected, as here, and/or a choice between high and low symmetry spacegroup has to be made, one has to make sure that
