Dear all, I'm using MOLREP in CCP4 for MR. The problem is that it doesn't output a pdb file although the last contrast value written in the log file is 3.13! Are there certain criteria which have to be fulfilled before it gives a pdb file or is it a bug? Thanks for your help! Eric

[ccp4bb] Cavity is waiting unknown ligand

Dear All, I have inside cavity in my protein structure with some conserved residues. We do not know function or ligand for that domain. How I could find ligand candidates which fit to this cavity? Maybe somehow with pdbe? Thank you, Heidi

Hi Heidi You can try hunting for similar structural motifs which are likely to be involved in ligand binding or function: http://www.russelllab.org/cgi-bin/tools/pints.pl You can then try fitting suggested ligands to the cavity. good luck Alex On 10.08.2011 13:46, Heidi Tuominen wrote: Dear

Dear all, how do you extract segments from a pdb file, so that from an input pdb file you get output like this: 10-103, 120-174, 200-240 or, better yet: A: 10-103, 120-174, 200-240 B: 10-104, 120-174, 199-241 if the N terminus is missing and there are two gaps in the structure. I tend to

If you mean what I think you mean, then use the SUMMarise option of pdbcur. That gives output like: Chain A has 505 residues in 7 spans: 1-305 307-500 711-711 716-716 719-719 721-722 730-730 0 residues have alternative conformations Composition: ALA 23 ARG 23 ASN 36 ASP 24

On the surface it doesn't seem as bad as others, i.e., it does not seem to be a real fake--perhaps just a strong form of wishful thinking and creative density interpretation. I wonder what would be a good metric in which to establish a cutoff for present/not present in density. CC, maybe? Jacob

Re: [ccp4bb] Another paper structure retracted

2011-08-10 Thread Pavel Afonine
CC alone wouldn't be totally sufficient. CC is scale independent. For example, if you compare two very weak densities, say visible at below 0.1 sigma, and If these densities are similar enough then you will still get good CC. Therefore it's good to use CC and map values together. This is exactly
