Re: [ccp4bb] DNA analysis with Curves+
Hello Edward, I am not really certain for my explanation, but your error message about the namelist could be provoked by a problem in your input files. In fact you have to oriented each strand and define limits of the two strands. If you do a mistake with the orientation you can have this type of message. You can try different combination with this part of your command line : 2 1 -1 0 0 1: 12 24:13 Maybe the key could be in this part of your command line atless for the input error message. To my mind you have to edit your input file because its format is not adaptated for this programm. The format wich is too recent or with to much informations are not well suported. I hope i help you.

[ccp4bb] adding gaussian noise to an mtz data column
Before re-inventing the wheel... Is there anywhere some software (freely available software, I mean) that can add some Gaussian noise to data. The data is currently stored in a data column in an mtz (not phase data, but amplitudes, sigma values...) but can be exported to another format if required. Before writing a computer program to do this, does anyone know if this can be done without writing any code. If it can then obviously I won't write new code. Thanks, Fred.

Re: [ccp4bb] adding gaussian noise to an mtz data column
If you fancy using R (and its endless ways of generating random deviates), then you could use part of the crystallographic package we are developing here (cRy). Then you would carry out the following in R: source(cRy/all_load.R) mtz - readMTZ(test.mtz) # Load data from mtz file newF - mtz$reflections$Fnew+rnorm(mean=0,sd=1,n=length(mtz$reflections$H)) # Add gaussian deviates with mean 0 and standard dev 1 mtz$reflections$Fnew - newF # Replace new column writeMTZ(mtz,new_test.mtz) # Write modified file with a different name If you are interested I can provide you with my R code for doing this.

Re: [ccp4bb] DNA analysis with Curves+
Hi Edward, Have you tried just editing the short command script on a text editor so you keep the formatting. You could also try the full path for the executable and the lib files while you are at it. I have a problem of a different nature. I get get the example data file to work but no other file seems to work. I have tried editing other pdb files to make them look more like the example pdb but none seems to work. I get an error message in the .lis file which reads; Base atom C1* missing in strand 2 level 1 (Necessary for analysis). I have gotten the same error with a few files from the NDB and PDB as well as with mine. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem will be highly appreciated. Raymond.
