Re: [ccp4bb] Problem with Rfactor

Dear Sudarshan, I have the feeling the your R factor after Molrep is really high because the program has failed to produce a correct/not-partial solution, which could be due to many things, but usually the main problem is how good your search model is. The difference in spacegroups is not a pro

Hi Fellows, I have bugged now the ultimate authorities including Howard Flack (of Flack parameter fame), and alas, there is no official descriptive adjective for these 65 Söhnke space groups. Chiral is definitely wrong, and so is enantiomorphic, although 22 of the nameless form 11 enantiomo

We need more information. First if the pointgroup is hexagonal are you searching al likely SPACEgroup - eg PG P6, SGs might P6 P61 P62P63 P64 P65.. There is a GUI option to do this for both MOLREP & Phaser. You can guess the likely no of molecules using matthews In the GUI - that is in the MOL RE

Dear Sudarshan, There are quite a few point to consider in MR: -How good is your model? At >50% sequence identity with your protein, it is probably ok, around 25% sequence identity it may or may not work. If your protein is of the same protein family with a similar biological function it is pro

Hi Marcin It was obviously added originally because there was a limit to the length of the PATH variable (presumably there still is), so repeated invocations of setup scripts could take you over the limit. Ideally the script should remove old versions from the PATH, not just prepend the new one,
