[ccp4bb] Electron scattering factors for SHELXL

2019-03-04 Thread Whitley, Matthew J
Greetings all,


We have solved a small molecule structure using electron diffraction and would 
like to refine the structure with SHELXL.  Coming from a macromolecular 
background, this is our first experience with SHELXL, and we are not exactly 
sure how to proceed.  The first thing to do seems to be to provide SHELXL the 
appropriate electron scattering factors for 200 keV electrons.  Can someone 
suggest the best way to do this?  Or, alternatively, if anyone has used a 
different program to refine small molecule structures determined by ED, we 
would be happy to hear about that program too.


Thanks in advance for your advice.

Matthew

Re: [ccp4bb] Change dimer assembly in ASU

2019-03-04 Thread Randy Read
Dear Ezequiel,

There is nothing special about which particular symmetry copies a molecular 
replacement program chooses, so there is no good reason to stick to those 
symmetry copies.  On the other hand, there are very good reasons to present a 
molecule that is as close as possible to what is biologically relevant, so you 
should definitely change the choices of symmetry copies to make a proper 
heterodimer in your PDB entry.  The easiest way I know to do that is with the 
option in coot: Extensions->Modelling->Symm Shift Reference Chain Here (after 
centering on an atom in a symmetry copy that you want to make the master copy).

Best wishes,

Randy Read

Re: [ccp4bb] (EXTERNAL) Re: [ccp4bb] Question about the electron density maps (.ccp4) in PDBe

2019-03-04 Thread Edward A. Berry

Also check if the mean value of the map over the ASU is zero. If so, the map 
was probably calculated without the 0,0,0 term of the Fourier series, so zero 
does not represent zero density but rather the mean density.

On 03/04/2019 12:43 PM, Ian Tickle wrote:


Hi Sen

If you multiply the electron density in a voxel by the voxel volume you should 
get an estimate of the number of electrons contained in that voxel, and then 
you can add up the numbers of electrons in all the voxels occupied by an atom 
to get the total number of electrons in that atom, which is basically the same 
as what you are saying.

However note that the electron density is a point sample: it's not the average 
density in the voxel, so the above calculation won't be quite accurate, 
depending on the 'smoothness' of the density.  This is like the error in an 
integral by use of Simpson's rule.  To be sure of accounting for all the 
density you need to sample it finely, say not more that Dmin/4.

There are two more issues here: first the atomic positions are never error-free 
which reduces the contribution to the density by the factor D in the expression 
2mFo-DFc (or mFo for centric phases) for the map coefficients.  So if the 
errors were sufficiently large D would tend to zero and you would get no 
density at all!  The density that you see is really only that part of the true 
density for which there is evidence in the experimental data.

Second, what exactly do you mean by "add all voxel densities around an atom"?  
The electron density could easily extend 2 Ang. from an atomic centre, depending on the 
atom's finite size (represented by the form factor), its thermal motion (B factor) and 
series termination effects (resolution).  So if you don't go out far enough you will fail 
to account for some fraction of the electron count.  The problem is of course you can't 
go so far as to overlap bonded atoms which will be well within 2 Ang. distance.  The 
standard method of dealing with this is to represent 'soft' atoms (where the distance 
between atoms may be less than the sum of their radii) as Voronoi polyhedra (like the 
packing of soap bubbles!).  Is that how you handled it?

Cheers

Hi all,

I have been using the electron density maps available on the PDBe website 
to run some analysis. And I run into this question that I hope that I can get 
some help from the community.

In the ccp4 format, the electron density is represented as a 3-d array map, 
with each number corresponds to the density value of a voxel in real space. If 
I add all voxel densities around an atom together and divided it by the number 
of electrons of that atom, in theory it should give me a ratio with the unit 
Å-3 (angstrom to the power of -3), and this ratio should be inversely related 
to the voxel volume. (Correct me if I am wrong here.) However, after I got this 
ratio for each atom, aggregated it into chains and calculated a median, and 
then compared the chain median to the voxel volume over all PDB structures with 
electron density available, they show a slope of ~1/3 instead of expected 1 
(see attached link). That is, almost all the values in the electron density 
maps are only about 1/3 of represented electrons.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K_3uxZfUPuTdH1DtKJgKHLRUA5NHTVPB/view?usp=sharing 



So my question is, is there a conversion or scaling factor that PDBe uses 
to generate the ccp4 files? If so, is that information stored in the ccp4 files 
or anywhere else? And if not, why do I observe this 1/3 ratio pretty 
consistently across the whole PDB?

I would really appreciate any insights on this matter. Thank you!

Re: [ccp4bb] Question about the electron density maps (.ccp4) in PDBe

2019-03-04 Thread Gerard Bricogne
Dear Sen,

 I may be unaware of special features of these maps, but if they
are computed in conventional ways, they lack an F000 term. Therefore
the average value of the 2mFo-DFc map is zero, just as if it was a
difference map. This may explain why you do not find all the electrons
you would be expecting. To get this right, you would need to add that
F000 term to the set of Fourier coefficients going into the
calculation of the map. You can get a pretty satisfactory F000 value
by taking it from the Fourier transform of the model density, and
applying the appropriate scale factor. Unfortunately not all structure
factor programs will give you that F000. Instead, then, you can add
the numbers of electrons for all the atoms of your model in the unit
cell, put it on "map scale", divide it by the number of voxels in that
unit cell, and add it to all the map values in all the voxels you
examine.

 In any case, the use of a zero-mean map would be the cause of
your 1/3 factor. 

 Apologies to the PDBe if they have already thought of that and
are including the F000 (or average number of electrons per voxel) into
the calculation of their maps - I didn't see any sign that this was
being done.


 With best wishes,

  Gerard.

[ccp4bb] PhD available

2019-03-04 Thread Murray, James W

Dear all, 

I have a PhD available, deadline 12th March, on the structural biology of 
nitrogenase oxygen protection. Please email me if you are interested. Normal 
UKRI funding rules apply.

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/life-sciences/postgraduate/research/phd-opportunities/

best wishes

James

Biological nitrogen fixation is catalysed by nitrogenase. Nitrogenase is a 
complex enzyme, with three subunits, binding several cofactors. The best 
studied nitrogenase has molybdenum in the active site, and is encoded by nif 
genes. The nif operon encodes other assembly factors and conserved proteins of 
unknown function. Two alternative nitrogenases, with vanadium or iron instead 
of molybdenum, encoded by vnf and anf clusters, are even less 
well-characterised. Nitrogenase is inactivated by oxygen, and this 
vulnerability, combined with the complicated assembly, makes heterologous 
expression of nitrogenase challenging. However, expression of nitrogenase in 
crop plants could revolutionise agriculture, by ending the need for polluting 
nitrogenous fertilizers.

We have recently biochemically and structurally characterised the Anf3 protein 
(Fig 1), which protects the iron-only nitrogenase from oxygen. Anf3 is 
associated with two other conserved genes anf12, which are of unknown function 
but also essential for iron-only nitrogenase. Our work on the oxygen-protective 
FeSII protein (PDB 5FRT), is a prerequisite to determining the mechanism of 
nitrogenase protection. In this project we will structurally and functionally 
characterise the remaining nif and alternative nitrogenase genes. This will 
require biochemistry and X-ray crystallography in the Murray group, and 
biophysical techniques such as EPR and spectroelectrochemistry for the 
bioinorganic chemistry in the Rutherford group.
