[ccp4bb] How to exclude resolution bins
Dear all An ice ring is found in the raw image files and the resolution range is from 3.70-3.57A. I want to remove this ice ring by excluding the reolution bin. Can anyone tell me how to do? Thanks a lot ! Wei Feng
[ccp4bb] Crystallography on BBC Radio 4 next week
Dear all, On Thursday next week, the BBC radio program In Our Time will be discussing the history of crystallography. The link to the program is http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01p0s9s. Unfortunately, it doesn't say who the guests are, but they usually manage to find people with something interesting to say, even if the presenter Melvyn Bragg's grasp of scientific material isn't always that great. I think that from outside the UK it is possible to listen live from the link above, and that a day or two after the broadcast a podcast will be available to download from http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/iot.

Re: [ccp4bb] How to exclude resolution bins
Hi, in XDS this can be done quite easily. Just use the line EXCLUDE_RESOLUTION_RANGE=3.7 3.57 in the XDS.INP file.

[ccp4bb] Equilibrium Relative Humidity matching
Dear All, after a few requests, I have now added equations to the online calculator that uses Raoult's law to calculate the relative humidity equilibria for precipitant solutions (see http://go.esrf.eu/RH). The new equations (4 and 5) allow the calculation of salt concentrations that will be in equilibrium with a certain PEG or other molecule solution - this will allow slow and controlled dehydration experiments to be designed in vapour diffusion plates, by slowly increasing the salt concentration in the reservoir above the equilibrium and thereby reducing the amount of water in the crystallisation drop by a controlled amount. Hope it is useful, cheers, Matt. -- Matthew Bowler Synchrotron Science Group European Molecular Biology Laboratory BP 181, 6 rue Jules Horowitz 38042 Grenoble Cedex 9 France === Tel: +33 (0) 4.76.20.76.37 Fax: +33 (0) 4.76.88.29.04 http://www.embl.fr/ ===
Re: [ccp4bb] Crystallography on BBC Radio 4 next week
Dear CCP4'ers One speaker is Professor Mike Glazer (Oxford). He would like as many crystallographers as possible to know about this. Mike says: On Nov 29 on Radio4 I expect to be talking about the Braggs on the Melvyn Bragg program In Our Time at 9 oclock am. Today (11th November 2012) is exactly 100 years since W L Bragg presented his first paper to the Cambridge Philosophical Society and thus begun the field of X-ray Crystallography.

Re: [ccp4bb] Crystallography on BBC Radio 4 next week
Dear all, I have had several queries about this off-list, so here are some clarifications. I don't know if Melvyn Bragg is related to WL and WH Bragg. I doubt it, but if he is maybe he will say. (Bragg is a fairly common name in English.) The normal subject matter of In Our Time is humanities-based (i.e. art, history, philosophy etc.), but they deal with scientific or mathematical subjects occasionally. There are two live broadcasts, at 09:00 and 21:30 UK time. The later one is a shortened version (edited from about 42 mins to about 28), so better to listen to the earlier one if you can. There are three options for listening other than the terrestrial radio broadcast. All should work outside the UK (restrictions on using the BBC iPlayer overseas mostly apply only to television, or on the radio to certain special broadcasts such as some sporting events). (i) Live on the internet at the times above: go to the programme page at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01p0s9s and click on the LISTEN icon (with a picture of a small loudspeaker) towards the upper right of the page. (ii) Using iPlayer after the second broadcast has finished. Go to the programme page at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01p0s9s and click on the Listen now button on the left of the picture illustrating the programme. In principle this should become available within a few minutes of the end of the second broadcast (i.e. soon after 22:00 UK time), but sometimes there is a longer delay of up to an hour. It won't expire, so you can always listen on another day. (iii) Download a podcast in mp3 format from http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/iot. This will become available sometime after the second broadcast has finished, but it could be a day or two afterwards. These podcasts also don't expire or disappear: you can download them years after the original broadcasts. Options (ii) and (iii) will get you the full rather than the shortened version of the programme. Regards, Peter.

I don't know if Melvyn Bragg is related to WL and WH Bragg. I doubt it, but if he is maybe he will say. (Bragg is a fairly common name in English.) The normal subject matter of In Our Time is humanities-based (i.e. art, history, philosophy etc.), but they deal with scientific or mathematical subjects occasionally. There are two live broadcasts, at 09:00 and 21:30 UK time. The later one is a shortened version (edited from about 42 mins to about 28), so better to listen to the earlier one if you can. There are three options for listening other than the terrestrial radio broadcast. All should work outside the UK (restrictions on using the BBC iPlayer overseas mostly apply only to television, or on the radio to certain special broadcasts such as some sporting events). (i) Live on the internet at the times above: go to the programme page at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01p0s9s and click on the LISTEN icon (with a picture of a small loudspeaker) towards the upper right of the page. (ii) Using iPlayer after the second broadcast has finished. Go to the programme page at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01p0s9s and click on the Listen now button on the left of the picture illustrating the programme. In principle this should become available within a few minutes of the end of the second broadcast (i.e. soon after 22:00 UK time), but sometimes there is a longer delay of up to an hour. It won't expire, so you can always listen on another day. (iii) Download a podcast in mp3 format from http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/iot. This will become available sometime after the second broadcast has finished, but it could be a day or two afterwards. These podcasts also don't expire or disappear: you can download them years after the original broadcasts. Options (ii) and (iii) will get you the full rather than the shortened version of the programme. Regards, Peter.

Re: [ccp4bb] Crystallography on BBC Radio 4 next week
Deal All, Like many others, I also would like to encourage to listen the “In Our Time” BBC Radio 4 program next week as part of the Bragg Centenary Celebration. Melvyn will have Prof Mike Glazer (Oxford), Dr Chris Hammond (Leeds) and Prof Judith Howard (Durham) as guests. A subject not to be missed to those who like to called of crystallographers.

Re: [ccp4bb] Equilibrium Relative Humidity matching
Dear Patrick, this issue of matching relative humidity values to crystallisation solutions had us scratching our heads for quite some time - we ended up measuring a whole series of concentrations of PEGs and salts - when discussing this with a particle physicist of my acquaintance he pointed out Raoult's Law. He showed in 1887 (coincidentally in Grenoble) that the relationship between the RH above a solution is dependent on the mol fraction of water. This leads to a counter-intuitive observation - it is only the number of molecules in solution that affect the RH and not the type of molecule/ion - therefore one molecule of glycerol has the same contribution as a chloride ion or anything else. This means that there is no effect for charge etc. What does matter is how many species the salt dissociates into - this means that a given concentration of sodium malonate (3 species) will have a lower RH than ammonium sulphate (2 species (NH4+ and (NH4SO4)-) and not 3 as might be expected). Raoult's law breaks down for polymers over 1000Da but this can be corrected using the Flory-Huggins model for the entropy of mixing of polymers - this has the interesting effect that all PEGs over 1000Da will have almost the same RH for a given concentration and that for the concentrations typical in crystallisation, the difference in RH between the well and reservoir is so small the experiment is essentially microbatch out of oil. MgSO4 does seem to be an outlier in your measurements - but not in Raoult's law - I wonder if it has odd behavior in solution - I will look into it. Cheers, Matt.

I've never been able to make any sense of it in terms of cations, anions, valency, or charge density (position in Hofmeister series), whether concentrations are expressed as M or N solutions. For example, of the salts mentioned on your website, MgSO4 seems to be anomalous. My spreadsheet also has a little converter that my colleague wrote many years ago to convert vapor diffusion conditions to batch. This might be of interest to people who have to work in batch, e.g. people making crystals for X-FEL data collection. You can download it as a program from http://www.douglas.co.uk/vdtomb/vdtomb.htm - it seems to work pretty well.

The new equations (4 and 5) allow the calculation of salt concentrations that will be in equilibrium with a certain PEG or other molecule solution - this will allow slow and controlled dehydration experiments to be designed in vapour diffusion plates, by slowly increasing the salt concentration in the reservoir above the equilibrium and thereby reducing the amount of water in the crystallisation drop by a controlled amount.
