Re: [ccp4bb] Refmac out-put file header information

Dear Mitch,
I did not run uniqueify but i have added free-R flags by running xdsconv with
extra command line in in-put file

GENERATE_FRACTION_OF_TEST_REFLECTIONS=0.05


Dear Leo,
This 94.5% is total completeness of the data.
I am pasting below the header information in that PDB file.

REMARK   3  DATA USED IN REFINEMENT.
REMARK   3   RESOLUTION RANGE HIGH (ANGSTROMS) :   3.05
REMARK   3   RESOLUTION RANGE LOW  (ANGSTROMS) :  19.74

Have anybody some suggestions??

Thank you very much to Artem, Lijun, Dale and Paul for giving me great
suggestions regarding my earlier query on D to L amino acid residues.

Now one more problem is in same 3 A structure refinement. For those who not
remembered my case. I have processed a diffraction data-set at 3 A using XDS. I
am using Refmac for refinement. My data is 95.4% of completeness at Signal/noise
=-3.

I noticed that in the header of out-put PDB file from Refmac shows 100%
completeness.

Is it a bug?? May somebody tell me where the problem is?

Thanks in advance.

 Hi Everybody,

 I am refining structure of a protein at 3 Angstrom. I am doing model building
 in
 Coot.
 After several rounds of refinement using Refmac when I tried to run PROCHECK
 on
 my partially build model I found that some of the residues are D-amino
 acids.

 How to change these D-amino acids to L-amino acids??

 Is there any option in Coot for that??


 Thanks in advance,

Re: [ccp4bb] Refmac out-put file header information

2008-08-08 Thread Miller, Mitchell D.
Hi Yusuf,
  You need to run the uniqueify script to expand the input
file to include all possible reflections (observed and missing
from your data set).  I have not run xdsconv with the 
GENERATE_FRACTION_OF_TEST_REFLECTIONS=0.05
However, generally after running xdsconv without that command,
it is necessary to run f2mtz, cad and uniqueify to prepare
the input file for refmac. 

  You can do a quick test like 
mtzdump test.mtz
if it reports that your Fobs are 100% complete, then
you need to run uniqueify to expand the file to contain
all possible reflections up to the highest resolution in 
your input file.  Without this, then the statistics will
not be reported correctly in refmac and many other programs.
see http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/dist/html/refmac5/files/log.html#pobs
Percentage observed 
Fraction of the observed reflections in %. If uniqueify has been run before 
using REFMAC, this value will be calculated correctly. Otherwise it will be 
100.0%. 

If your free flag column label is FreeRflag, then you can 
run the uniqueify script from the command line like:
uniqueify -p 0.05 -f FreeRflag test.mtz
if your input file is test.mtz the output from the script will
be test-unique.mtz. 

or you can use the ccp4i task merge mtz files (CAD)
by inputting your existing .mtz file and checking the
box to complete the reflection list and extend your
input freeR set.

Regards,
Mitch

When i checked carefully again log files. I came to know that, when i used

Before xdsconv all log-files have original 95%.

Re: [ccp4bb] interface

Which brings up something about PISA.  If I run PISA on pdb entry 2IE3, 
which I'm familiar with, I get the following numbers from PISA and 
CCP4's AREAIMOL  (surface areas in Angstrom^2) for the A:C interface.


 PISA for 2IE3
Automatic A:C interface selection 907.9
(a crystal packing interface is larger than this, but this surface 
is the A:C interface)


 AreaIMol with some editing of 2IE3 to separate the chains
Chain A25,604.4
Chain C11,847.4
Total  37,451.8
Chain AC   35,576.6
Difference  1,875.2
Difference/2  937.6


For buried S.A. I agree with Steve Darnell's definition.  However PISA 
appears to be reporting half that value, or what it calls interface 
area.  Potentially confusing.

Re: [ccp4bb] interface

2008-08-08 Thread Steven Darnell

Phil,

I had a follow up conversation regarding this very topic.  Here is an 
excerpt:


The following is from Chothia and Janin (1975) Nature, 256:705-708, 
one of the early articles regarding buried surface area and protein 
interfaces:


The surface area buried in the complex is then defined as the 
accessible surface area of one subunit plus that of the other subunit 
minus that of the complex.


I believe that definition has not changed in 30 years.  While I will 
agree that dividing by 2 approximates the physical area of the 
interface, this does not represent the total amount of surface area 
that is no longer accessible to solvent.  In terms of desolvating the 
interface for binding, the latter is more appropriate.


As you point out, PISA appears to be reporting the area of the 
interface, not the total surface area occluded from solvent.  Confusing 
indeed.


Regards,
Steve Darnell

[ccp4bb] April fools hand issue solved

2008-08-08 Thread Jacob Keller

Dear crystallographers,

although many laughed off one CCP4BB poster's comments several months ago as 
an April fools' trick (he had proposed that Bijvoet had actually botched the 
job, as I remember), there is now apparently experimental evidence against 
that trick:


Was Bijvoet right? Sodium rubidium (+)-tartrate tetrahydrate revisited.Lutz 
M, Schreurs AM.
Bijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research, Crystal and Structural Chemistry, 
Faculty of Science, Utrecht University, Padualaan 8, 3584 CH Utrecht, The 
Netherlands.


The first determination of the absolute configuration of an organic compound 
was published in 1951 on sodium rubidium (+)-tartrate tetrahydrate, 
Na(+).Rb(+).C(4)H(4)O(6)(2-).4H(2)O, but the atomic coordinates are not 
available in the public literature. This structure has therefore been 
redetermined using current equipment. The most up-to-date techniques for the 
determination of the absolute configuration have been applied and the 
question posed in the title can be answered with an unequivocal ;yes'.

Re: [ccp4bb] interface

2008-08-08 Thread P Hubbard

The way I look at it; BSA the the total surface area defined within two
bisecting 3D curves, interface area is the minimum surface area that
can be that can be produced by interpolation between regions at bisect
each other. Probably not the best definition.



On a side note: can one really use this approach to calculate BSA
between domains? I could see a situation where splitting domains into
two separate entities would calculate excess surface area for regions
that connect these domains. I recall using Insight2 ages ago to create
subsets, and then calculating Connolly surfaces within a given context.
From what I remember, it was real pain. Any better software out there
for this?

Cheers,

[ccp4bb] merohedral twinning problem

2008-08-08 Thread Kristof Van Hecke

Dear,

Sorry for the off-topic question.
I'm facing a (probably) merohedral twinning problem, regarding a small  
molecule.


Using Xprep, I get a Hexagonal P-lattice with cell:
18.014  18.014  22.048   90.00   90.00  120.00

Mean |E*E-1| = 0.902 [expected .968 centrosym and .736 non-centrosym]


However, based on the systematic absence exceptions, the probable  
(apparent) SG's are:

P6(3)/m (Laue '6/m')
P6(3) (Laue '6')
P6(3)22 (Laue '622')

  61/65 62=31  63-c-   --c

N60  50 36 2471  1420
N I3s   19  19 0   420  161
I186.6 223.1   4.6 30.015.5
I/s  2.3 2.6   0.3 1.6   1.2

I know there is a twin law to transform the (apparent) Laue group '6/ 
m' to the (true) Laue group '-3'
(TWIN law -1 0 0 0 -1 0 0 0 1) and merging the data in a trigonal SG,  
but this is not solving the structure at all...



Has anyone noticed a similar case that could be of any help please..?

Many thanks

Kristof

[ccp4bb] stereo in coot with RHEL 5

2008-08-08 Thread James Whittle
Hi-

There seems to be a problem enabling stereo with coot on RHEL 5, which
results in the error:

CATASTROPHIC ERROR:: in gl_extras no GtkGL widget!
WARNING:: switch to hardware_stereo_mode failed

I've found mention of this through a google search, but no solution. Has
anyone encountered this and found a way to fix it?

I'm using an NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 with an xorg.conf identical to an
RHEL 4 system on which stereo works. I assume it has to do with this
system being 64-bit rather than 32-bit.

Thanks in advance for any help!
