[ccp4bb] column labels for SIRAS/MIRAS

2010-03-03 Thread Yogesh Gupta
Hello,

My aim is to calculate SIRAS/MIRAS phases using PHENIX. Which should be the
correct column labels and associated Differences in the derivative data
one should select to calculate SIRAS phases? I am supplying both native and
derivative data and for the derivative data i am selecting F_HA, SigF_HA,
DANO_HA, SigDANO_HA as labels and 'Anomalous' as differences. Should the
differences not be 'Isomorphous+Anomalous' in case of SIRAS? If so, which
column label is the correct one if i choose Iso+Ano as differences?
Running SIRAS in SHARP requires Fs,DANOs, and ISYM for the derivative.
It seems that columns F_HA(+),SigF_HA(+),F_HA(-), and SigF(-) can also be
used for SIRAS as mentioned below, which confused me a little bit.

Could someone please clarify?

Hi Amit,

Changing the pH of Jeffamine is not so easy . I would keep the pH of

concentration is too low as compare to the buffer you are using, it would
not change the final pH much. This is what my experience with Jeffamine is.

 7.0 and HEPES pH 7.0) by varying the buffer pH from 5.5 to 7.5. In such a
 case, is it recommmended that the pH of Jeffamine ED-2001(pH 7.0) also be
 changed to match the different buffer pHs(5.5-7.5)?

 Cheers,
 Amit

[ccp4bb] TLS refinement in REFMAC

2007-12-24 Thread Yogesh Gupta PhD
Dear CCP4 users,

I refined my final model (protein-RNA complex) using TLS refinement in
Refmac but when i am validating the coordinates I am having an issue
with Bond Distances and Bond Angles of some of the bases of RNA, these
values for some of the bases are higher ( 6 times) then the standard
values. I figured that it happened only after REFMAC refinement. The
coordinates before the REFMAC (the last CNS refined coordinates) were found
to be acceptable by the same validation program. So my guess is something
wierd is happening with RNAs only during REFMAC refinement. Although, Rfree
improved by almost 1.5% with REFMAC.

In an attempt to fix this, I ommitted both chains of the RNAs during the
REFMAC (.tls file contains only protein monomers) but that did not resolve
the isssue either.
Is there any way to fix this problem or a way to restrain particular RNA
bases/chains during TLS refinement?

Thanks for your time and help.

Happy Holidays

Yogesh
