Re: [ccp4bb] PDB to AlphaFold via Uniprot

Or you can go straight to uniprot. Every available PDB + alphafold model is linked to the uniprot entry. On Fri, Jul 29, 2022 at 4:46 PM Robbie Joosten wrote: > Hi Paul, > > From the PDB file get the Uniprot primary accession code (see DBREF) and > use this to get the Alphafold model using

Re: [ccp4bb] Bug in mmCIF handling of UNK residues?

I hope this doesn't confuse the discussion, but my understanding was "UNK" stood for "unknown" residue and this will cause errors. UNK naming convention is the default output of Schrodinger when generating ligand PDB files. Coot will display the PDB containing "UNK" as a residue, but if you try

Re: [ccp4bb] COVID-19 protease inhibitors - 2nd call for designs - Thurs midnight

Hi Frank, I thought we were working quickly, but we only just got all of your structures uploaded in our Proasis system today and can only now begin analysis and design ideas. I don't know if we will have much of anything by your deadline. Will there be additional design rounds? Thanks again

[ccp4bb] HDX data representation

Dear Colleagues, We recently acquired HDX data on a target, which basically gives us %change per residue over the entire primary sequence. Is there a simple way to reassign the B-factor column of my PDB with those %change numbers so I can then easily color the molecular surface? I hope the

Re: [ccp4bb] Protein rapidly precipitates when off ice

Did anyone suggest adding any known ligand? If your protein happens to bind some compound/peptide/DNA/RNA/whatever, including that other partner could dramatically change it's solution properties and be an easy fix for your handling/formulation issues. Good luck! On Fri, Jul 14, 2017 at 6:33 AM,

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):

Re: [ccp4bb] Large number of outliers in the dataset

One thing that sometimes helps me in this situation is reprocess and refine in lower symmetry like P21. It could be you have pseudosymmetry and need to model more molecules in the AU to better reflect your data. Sometimes this can help. If that doesn't work, then you may have to stick with your

[ccp4bb] ITC question

Dear colleagues, We have a target where people have measured Kd's for ligands using radioligand binding assays. Several publications report Kd's of single digit nanomolar and we are able to reproduce that data using this assay format. When we try to do the same measurement using ITC, we generate

Re: [ccp4bb] AW: [ccp4bb] Composit omit map vs. ligand

I agree with Herman about shorter soak. In addition, if your crystals can tolerate any change in pH, you can slow your reaction down by tweaking this parameter. Another thing you should think about is the kinetics of the reaction, especially the rate limiting step. If the rate limiting step is

Dear All, I have CCP4 6.5.0 installed on my laptop PC. Everything runs fine, to my knowledge, except JLigand. When I click this program from the program list, absolutely nothing happens. No error message, nothing. It doesn't launch. Do I need to reinstall cpp4 or is JLigand a separate

Re: [ccp4bb] The phase problem

Screen for heavy atoms with native gel. Run protein with variety of heavy atoms. If you see a discreet shift in the native gel, then you will get derivative. If you don't see a shift, don't bother soaking. It's worked for me every time. Also, ammonium sulfate will mess up your heavy atoms, so

[ccp4bb] KRAS maps

Dear All, I frequently use the Coot feature Fetch PDB and MAP using EDS... with great success when peer reviewing literature reports. However, when I try this for the recent KRAS structures deposited by Kevan Shokat and Jim Wells (Nature 2013), the Coot generated maps are garbage, although the

Looks like you're on the twofold axis, which will make interpretation challenging. Anything you put in may end up being too close to itself in the neighboring AU. What happens if you put in a water and display the symmetry? On Mon, Jun 23, 2014 at 8:17 AM, Shanti Pal Gangwar
