Re: [ccp4bb] Micocrystals or not?

2010-09-21 Thread yang li
Dear All,

  Thank you for all your replies, I think there are some additional
informations about this screening to help judgment:
  1. this screening was set in a 0.2+0.2 microliter drop, so the
microcrystals(?) are very small.
  2. these things came out in different conditions, after 1-4 days, and
didnot grow bigger.
  3. the protein buffer contains 500mM NaCl while most of the screen
conditions has ethanol, so could them be NaCl crystals?
  One more question: has anybody experienced that the N-terminal histag
cannot be cut off, but it is really there and
helps the purification? Is any information can be achieved from this?
  Thanks a lot!

[ccp4bb] How to optimize protein-DNA complex conditions?

2010-09-01 Thread yang li
Dear All,

   Recently I am working on a protein-DNA complex, and from running
agarose gel, there is a weak delayed band after the band of pure DNA which
indicates some DNA has bind to the protein though the binding efficiency is
low. Then I tried to optimize the condition to increase the binding, but  it
did not work since the intensity of the delayed band didnot grow. The
condition I used is list below:
1. the concentration of protein is about 1.5mg/ml, buffer in Tris-Cl, PH 8
and NaCl.
2. the running buffer for agarose gel is 0.5x TBE, PH 8.3.
3. different ratio of protein: DNA has tried, from 2:1 to 1:2.
4. different concentration of NaCl, MgCl2 and ATP in reaction system have
been added, but no significant change.

I wonder if there is any way to increase the binding efficiency? Is it
possible to set up crystal plates in this situation, with protein and
complex together?
Any suggestion would be appreciated!

Dear All,

  Thank you for your help! There do have something needed to be checked
carefully, as you suggested. Peter Zwart
showed me the right way of explore_symmetry_metric, which indicated there is
some relationship between the two
unit cells. I hope it can explain the strange wilsonB and failure of MR. I
will try to reprocess the data later to make sure.

  The easy Q first:
 Wilson plot B values are very unreliable for 4A data - b=20 is almost
 certainly wrong, but until you have a model to refine it is hard to get a
 proper estimate.

  Q2: With a decent model the ligand should show up as a blob, even at this
 resolution. You might have trouble fitting it, but at least you would know
 whether it had bound or not.

 Q3: Why the MR doesnt work - I cant answer this..
 Check the data for any serious problems - missing strong intensities can
 mislead. Is the spce group certain?

 Is there any relationship between the P212121 and F222 cells?

[ccp4bb] Deal with close heavy atom sites?

2009-07-28 Thread yang li
Dear all,
  I have a 1.6A data in P21 spacegroup whith good quality, wich is
assumed to contain 4 Set-Met. But the patterson map
appears strange. There is a very big heavy peak in the harker section, and
seems like an irregular ellipse, while there are small
peaks very near(almost connect) to this big peak and the origin, say about
0.05 in fraction, looks like cross peaks.It looks like the
heavy atoms are very close if there are more than one. I tried several
programs and many heavy atom coordinates sits, but none
of them can solve it. Shelxd got a set of sites looks best with set the
minimum distance to 1A, since the patterson map from it
looks like the experimental patterson map, though not very much. But with
this HA sites can get nothing meaningful. By the way,
it is a small molecule with no more than 150 residues, one molecule/ASU.
According to shelxc the signal is not strong, can only
be used to aroud 2.2A.
 Any suggestions would be

Re: [ccp4bb] Refinement of anisotropic data

Hi, All,
 Thanks for all your replies. I checked the server as Pavel said, and
found that the 2.3A data has strong
anisotropy and other two has severe anisotropy. The recommend resolution
cutoff in the c axis is only
3.4A. I need to read more about the manual but I think this is the problem.
Hope this works.

Thanks again!


[ccp4bb] Refinement of anisotropic data

2008-05-20 Thread yang li
Hi,
I have a structure with 3 different resolutions, 2.3A, 2.4A, 2.5A, the
qualities seem normal, not good but also not too bad.
The B factors along a,b,c axis have notable difference, for example B(a)=80,
B(b)=30, B(c)=20. We used molecular
replacement to solve the structure. For the 2.3A data, the final Rfree is
0.265 from phenix.refine without tls since tls will
increase the Rfree much. But for the 2.4A data, the Rfree wonnot low down to
0.32, though the map seems not bad(with
only a few solvent atoms). And for the 2.5A data the Rfree is even higher
than 0.4. For all of them I used thinshell and
followed the same procedure:
MR--rigid body refinement--restrain
refinement--phenix.autobuild--manually check--phenix.refine(ordered
solvent)
And autobuild can always build more than 80% residues with mostly side
chains.
This is not a big structure with no more than 1000 residues in 2
molecules. I wonder why the R values keep so high.
Do I need to run anisotropic refinement for such resolutions? Or any other
reasons?


Thanks!

[ccp4bb] phenix.refine and refmac

2008-03-04 Thread yang li
Dear All,
  I have post a similar question about CNS and refmac before, now in
another structure I met a similar problem. I have an almost finished
structure, the Rfree of which
is about 0.28 by refmac. Then I used phenix to refine it, below is the
result:
REMARK  REFINEMENT SUMMARY: QUICK FACTS
***
REMARK Start: r_work = 0.1970 r_free = 0.2892 bonds = 0.006 angles = 1.213
REMARK Final: r_work = 0.1917 r_free = 0.2617 bonds = 0.008 angles = 1.374
REMARK

Since the map from phenix couldnot be opened by coot directly--or I
donnot know how to--I used refmac to get a mtz map file. But I found that at
the first several cycle of
refmac the Rfree decreased, then both the R and Rfree values  continued
increasing and FOM decreasing.
 The best R/Rfree/FOM during the refinement is

-
Overall R factor = 0.1932
Free R factor= 0.2513
Overall figure of merit  = 0.8168
-
 And after 40 cycles the final result is:
-
Overall R factor = 0.2008
Free R factor= 0.2772
Overall figure of merit  = 0.7902
-
The values looks like keep going up if increase the cycles. Then which
value should I take as the final result? The phenix or the best Refmac
result or  I have to take  a converged
value from refmac?

2008-03-04 Thread yang li
Thanks for your replies. I did use default settings in phenix refine,
included TLS in it. This is an about 2.3A data, and the number Rfree used to
refine is big enough. I also kept the same Rfree in two programs. In refmac
I also tried diffenrent weighting sets--from defaut 0.3 to 0.02, TLS
included--maybe there are some other ways to define the restrains. The R and
Rfree will increase as the weighting is set too low, and the gap
didnot improve much. I donnot know in this case if the phenix refine has
converged, but the not stable Rfree in refmac made me nervous. Simply,
in this case, which one should I choose? Certainly to my private opinion I
would prefer to Scott's answer, Rfree is the most obvious parameter than
something esle like geometry, eg. Just looks good. :)

   how many reflections do you have in your test-set for calculating

   lead to fluctuations in R-free plus a tendency for R-free to increase

[ccp4bb] cns and refmac refinement

2008-02-20 Thread yang li
Dear All,
  I have a 3A structure, the quality of the data is not very good. Now I
have refined it to Rfree=40.7 in Refmac.
But it wonnot go further down. Then I used CNS to do annealing, then use
refmac to do rigid body refinement.
The Rfree converged to 0.34, but if I use restrain refinement it will go up
gradually. Then I use CNS refine
script to refine the anneal.pdb, then the rigid body of refmac refinement
converged at Rfree=0.33, but the refmac restrain
refinement will still increase the Rfree--given weighting=0.03, after 80
cycle Rfree is 0.38 and seems like still increasing.
Then I gave weighting=0.02, after 180 cycle, the Rfree is 0.37. I very
wonder if I give 1000 cycle to run, Rfree
will go back to 0.4. Can anybody give me some suggestions?
 By the way, it is a dimer and I didnot use NCS restarin during
refinement. Below is from refmac log:

[ccp4bb] Different chains in the dimer

Dear All,
I have a protein which has the function unit as a dimer.  I got two
structures of it.  One is the native structure, one is the mutant

two chain look the same, but in mutant structure one chain still keep the
same structure as the native one, and another chain is different.  We expect
to see the difference, but we wonder why one chain is different and another
one is the same?  Is this because of crystallographic packing?

Does anyone has a simple and graphic explanation for them?

Thanks in advance!


Re: [ccp4bb] ideal bond length and bong angel

2008-01-09 Thread yang li
By the way, I think my bad english embarrassed my meaning. What I want
to say
is  which bond length is used as the standard? the C=N or Ca-N or even the
side chains?
Or all of them?Which angel is used to compare, the Ca-C'-N or C'-N-Ca or
others.
At first I suppose the bond length only calculate the C=N bond, and
donnot know which one
is used as the aggel. It should be a quite stupid question for whom knows
it. Just forget it.

 Dear Prof Gerard:
 In fact I have read your Model Validation on-line, and I have to say it
is youe lecture
that made me to think about this problem, though I have used it as a common
stand for
the quality of the model without understand it for a long time.
 And the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihedral_angle, I think both from your
lecture, I have checked
them today before I post my mail, but unable to access them. For some
reason, wiki is
forbiddon here. I really coouldnot find the best answer and have discussed
with others
before, so I just want to make it clear, though maybe nothing to do with
practicals.
Thanks for your reply again.

Best Regards!


[ccp4bb] apologize

2008-01-09 Thread yang li
Dear All,
  I am very sorry to involve you into such insignificance discussion, I
have reached agreement
with Prof Gerard, please stop talking about things beyond science, thanks!
  I read a book today, which said A refined model should exhibit rms
deviations of no more
than 0.02A for bond length and 4 for bond angels, I just wonder about the
standard of the
bond length and the bond angel. I think most of you have read similar words!
But maybe I
didnot express clearly and made some phrasal mistakes.
  At last, happy new year to you all--though very late!


Sincerely!

Re: [ccp4bb] scalepack problem

2008-01-04 Thread yang li
Hi,All,
  I have figured out the mistake, for some reason  some  -h,-k,-l
reflections
were missed for the spacegroup given, so the program was not happy with the
format.  I donnot know how it happened since not me processed the data.
  Then another question is how the scale porgrams do with the situation
that
one of the friedel  pair is missed?  Does it discard these reflecions for
the
anomalous file and retain them for the isomophous file?

Thanks!

 Hi All,
 Thanks for your replies. I think the problem shouldnot be spacegroup
 because
 I tried several other spacegroups(just modify the sca file or specify in
 the script),
 the resluts are the same. the error is:
 
 Sort Order :
 0   0   0
 Spacegroup = 'p1' (number=1)
 Scalepack2mtz: check you data
 #
I deleted some lines because I tried to find where are the problems.
 The format
 looks has no problem. Only if I retain very few reflctions it worked, when
 I added
 some others lines(different lines) , it would go wrong.
And this file can be used in phenix without problem.I would like to try
 Abendroth's suggestion after I install CNS.
Thanks again!

Hi All,
 I met a problem while running scalepack2mtz in ccp4 interface. The
program will stop with a tip
said check your data, but no error warning. This SCA file is a H3
spacegroup but maybe it is not

delete some lines from
the file then it worked. I really cannot find how those lines made the file
bad, they had nothing
abnormal to me.
Thanks for your help!

[ccp4bb] How to run ccp4 in php script?

Hi All,
 I have some scripts  which need to use  some  programs--like cad,
refmac--in ccp4,  and I want to
use a php script to  run  these  scripts, with  command  as :  $cmd =  sh
aa.inp; system($cmd);
As I know, when I use php script, the account is Apache, which is a
nologin account, all the files I used
are put in the directory which belong to Apache.I donnot know what shell it
uses, assume it uses bash,
since Apache has no permission to /ccp4/include/ccp4.setup, I  copied
ccp4.setup to  the  directory I used.
And add a line in the script to source this ccp4.setup, file, but it gives
such error information:
* WARNING ** The directory
/home/prog/ccp4 (assigned to CCP4_MASTER) does not exist. The CCP4 programs
will not run correctly, and any installation attempt will have errors or
will fail. * WARNING **
   I donnot know how to solve this problem. Anyone knows how to run the
ccp4 programs with the php script?

[ccp4bb] problem with HKL2000 license

2007-04-29 Thread yang li

Hi,All,
   Now I am installing HKL2000 and met a curious problem:
   The license cr_info was apllied before, the system is fc6 at that time.
Before received the license,
I reinstalled the system for some reason, now the system is fc4. the install
files and anom.dat file
was copied from other people. I changed all the configs,now if I run
access_prod file the values of
HOST-NAME, HOST-ID,HOSTNAME,HW-PROV,CPU-SERIAL are all same with the
values when
apllied the license. But now if I type HKL2000, comes the error information:
ERROR: Not a valid HKL-2000 license: Problem with hardware recognition

*Field HOST-NAME *

*Error code: 6*

**

*I googled for this error, the answer is: HOST-NAME line in the info file
must have changed. Please re-run the access_prod program on that computer
and send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your access file, cr_info, needs to be
updated.*

**

*   I wonder if I rerun the access_prod programm, the hostname is the same,
how could it give this error?*

It is a little troublesome if have to update the license, so I think if
anyone can tell the reason, it will save much work.

[ccp4bb] phaser in ccp46.0.2

2007-03-26 Thread yang li

Hi,
   Anyone has used phser in ccp46.0.2 which is automatically installed with
ccp4? In previous ccp4 edition
I installed phaser seperately and it worked well, but now it seems has some
problems, it cannot read the
input mtz file, I tried several data,  all gave the same error  information
like below:
*
*** Phaser Module: READ DATA FROM MTZ
FILE2.0 ***
*


BFONT COLOR=#FF8800

FILE OPENING ERROR: /root/work/1she/1she.mtz
---
/FONT/B


EXIT STATUS: FAILURE


I donnot think all these data are bad, and these data can be read in other
mr programs.
I wonder if I should install phaser again? The phaser install package for
CCP4-5.0 still can be used in this edition?
Thanks!


[ccp4bb] Scale factor in ccp4

2007-03-21 Thread yang li

Hi:
   I have two set of data from the same crystal with the names 1.sca and 2.sca,
they have different Intensity values due to different scale factors.
Now I use Scalepack2mtz
convert them to 1.mtz and 2.mtz, then use cad to merge to a cad.mtz, then
convert it to cad.sca file, I find that the Intensity values in this
cad.sca arediffrent from
1.sca and 2.sca, I wonder if the program has scaled the values itself?
If that is true,
which program did this, Scalepack2mtz or cad?
Thanks!

[ccp4bb] question about redundancy

2007-03-20 Thread yang li

Hi:
  I am confused by a idea for a long time, and it maybe an easy question.
That is, if a cryst with p1 spacegroup, after 360 degree data collection,
what the redundancy should be? I was told that it is 2, and the 2 are
F(h,k,l) and F(-h,-k,-l), but I think if the reciprocal lattice rotated 360
degree, it must intersect with the ewald sphere 2 times--for example,
go into the sphere and go out--then F(h,k,l) should be collected twice.
I donnot know what is wrong with my option. Anyone can tell me the
reason? Thanks!

[ccp4bb] refmac refinement and multiple conformations

2007-03-15 Thread yang li

   If a pdb file contains some residues that have multiple conformations,
when using refmac to refine it, will the programm take consider of
these conformations? It seems that refmac would do this but I am not
very sure. I downloaded a structure with some conformations from the
pdb, but after refmac the R free is not as low as on the website. What
is the problem? Thanks!
