[ccp4bb] setting cell/spacegroup in imosflm
Dear all, I would like to set manually cell and SG in the iMosflm interface - is this possible? Thanks Clemens -- Dr. Clemens Grimm Institut für Biochemie Biozentrum der Universität Würzburg Am Hubland D-97074 Würzburg Germany e-mail: clemens.gr...@biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de phone : +49 0931 888 84031 -
Re: [ccp4bb] setting cell/spacegroup in imosflm
Dear Clemens, Yes, this should be possible. If you click on the Cell or Spacegroup line in the Images pane, and then click on the current value, the field becomes editable and you can type in your new values.

[ccp4bb] Scientific Programmer/Software Engineer with EMDB at EBI, Cambridge, UK
Dear colleagues: thanks to the generosity of EMBL, we have another position available at EMDB (note that this is not the same as the one I posted in June). I would appreciate if you could circulate this announcement. Feel free to contact me directly for further information about this position. Thank you! -Christoph -- | Dr Christoph Best b...@ebi.ac.uk http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~best | Project Leader Electron Microscopy Data Bank, PDB Europe | European Bioinformatics Institute, Cambridge, UK +44-1223-492649 EMDB, the Electron Microscopy Data Bank at the European Bioinformatics Institute in Cambridge, England, has a staff position opening for a Scientific Programmer / Software Engineer We are looking for someone with very good software engineering skills (target platform is GNU/Linux and Mac OSX, primary languages Java and Python, focus on web-based interfaces and distributed applications/grids/clouds), a background in any of bioinformatics/computer science/image processing, structural biology, or (bio-)physics or applied mathematics, a good grasp of mathematical and statistical algorithms, and a track record of developing and maintaining scientific software. A willingless to understand the underlying biological problems is essential. This post is part of a joint NIH project with Rutgers University, New Jersey, and Baylor College of Medicine, Houston. Example topics to work on would be to improve the EMDB user experience both during deposition and retrieval, provide better tools for the visualization and analysis of large complex data sets in EMDB, integrate EMDB with other databases and semantic retrieval tools (e.g. through ontologies), develop tools for statistical assessment of image quality, and figure out how to use the emerging grid/cloud computing infrastructures for storage and computation of EMDB data (e.g. through integration with workflow tools). EMDB is part of the PDBe team at EBI.

[ccp4bb] Coot real space refine and clusters
Hey together, first cudos to PaulKevin for the incredible speed that coot gets more and more useable as an allround building tool -thanks! I've had a 'problem' several times now with coot and proteins containing metal clusters. Is there a way to make the real space refinement aware of the existence of atoms not included in the actual refinement? Like for example in MAIN where you can define 'active' the atoms to be refined and 'passive' the atoms to be included in the energy calculation? The problem is that everything close to metalclusters gets rfined into the cluster density and tere is no way including the ligand in the refinement as the selection requires consecutively numbered AAs. Thanks, Jens
