[ccp4bb] Postdoctoral position on Circadian Clock in Prof. Andy LiWang’s lab at UCMerced

2022-01-07 Thread Steve Chou
Dear crystallography community,

The laboratory of Prof. Andy LiWang at UC Merced is now recruiting a
postdoctoral research associate. Please circulate the link to the ad below.

His lab has made a series of groundbreaking contributions in our
understanding of molecular circadian clocks using structural biology, and
of course has published many high profile papers.

I interacted with several alumni from his lab; they all highly recommended
the lab. I also enjoyed talking with him twice in person, including once in
his lab.

Clock

Many thanks,
Steven

Re: [ccp4bb] displyaing cryo-EM map in pymol

Hi George,
The following commands use to work for me.
=
# on computer terminal
gzip ~/Desktop/pore_loops/myProt.mrc
# compress .mrc file into .gz file; it will generate a file named
myProt.mrc.gz

load  the pdb into PyMOL
# on PyMOL terminal
hide all
show cartoon
set cartoon_oval_length, 1
# make helices slimmer

load ~/Desktop/pore_loops/myProt.mrc.gz, vvv_map, format=ccp4
isomesh vvv_mesh, vvv_map, 0.1
color blue, vvv_mesh

Re: [ccp4bb] Looking at an EM map..

2018-03-15 Thread Steve Chou
EM maps are electron potential maps, fundamentally different from electron
density maps in X-ray crystallography.

You might also want to check the Protein Science paper by
Jimin Wang & Peter Moore, 2017

EM maps are electron potential maps, fundamentally different from electron
density maps in X-ray crystallography.
All the best,
Steve

[ccp4bb] Is it possible to fix the position of an atom during real space fitting in Coot?

2018-03-13 Thread Steve Chou
Dear Coot developers and CCP4 list subscribers,

The density of my map is not perfect. However, I know where a specific atom
should be located. Every time I did real space fitting, the atom and the
associated chemical groups in the whole ligand ran away. Is there a way to
fix the position of this atom, and let the force field drive the fitting of
the rest of the atoms in the ligand?
Many thanks in advance!
Steve
