You need to think about everything your protein has come into contact with, possibly even inside the cell. It is not uncommon to carry cofactors right through a purification, less likely in something more surface bound like this. Best wishes Nick -- Prof Nicholas H.

Thanks everybody for their valuable suggestions.. On 2/3/14, MARTYN SYMMONS martainn_oshioma...@btinternet.com wrote: Yes, thanks Robbie That is just my point - a structure submitted and then validated for paper reviewers by the PDB can be changed almost completely after the paper is accepted. The data can be changed too and only stipulation seems to be that it cannot be new data i.e. it has to have a date of collection _before_ submission. Changes are of course not bad in principle - they may be motivated by peer review. But they need to be tracked. ln a way that is understandable for users of the data. Perhaps they are available in the new mmCif-based deposition and annotation system. I have not used it yet. The PDB provides a comparison between obsoleted and superseding entries (coordinates at least). So a similar approach could be used. all the best Martyn From: Robbie Joosten robbie_joos...@hotmail.com To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Sent: Sunday, 2 February 2014, 20:13 Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] resubmission of pdb Hi Martyn, I have recently had the same problem. But generally, the PDB will usually allow a further 6 months hold for review or modifications to an already submitted paper. That is good to hear. I guess the 1 year limit is mostly to avoid structures to stay in limbo too long. But what I wanted to say was that the correct term is 'withdrawal' if the entry is removed pre-release - 'retraction' carries a pejorative connotation. Even after release, pulling an entry would be called obsoleting (status OBS) without superseding. So some structures have been 'obsoleted' owing to retraction of a published paper. (Superseding is when a better structure replaces the original - this process is tracked by the PDB.) Indeed, bad choice of words on my side. Just to complete the list, the possible statuses are here: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe-srv/status/search/doc Most pre-release 'withdrawn' entries are of course subsequently released after re-submission. But the PDB does not seem to track these connections - although they maintain a list of withdrawn entries - which means ids cannot really be recycled. That's too bad, there are not that many possible PDBids. Interestingly, before release entries can be 'replaced' which means a new structure can take the place (and 4 letter code) of the old one - this would have to have the same meta-data - so source and expression - but could have different resolution, space group, coordinates, and small molecules. Changes in these could for example be motivated by referees' comments on the submitted paper or maybe the authors got lucky with a better crystal. But this pre-release replacement could also be potentially used to 'sex up' a structure - for example by adding a 'novel' small molecule 'overlooked' in the original deposition. Such changes are tracked privately by the PDB but are not publically available... even after release. I didn't know this was an option. It seems sensible for peer review, but does present a potential loop-hole. I saw a fairly recent PDB entry that was deposited as a C-alpha trace (in 2013), but presented as a full model in Table 2 of the linked publication. The model was deposited a month before the paper was accepted, so referees could have noticed this (in theory). But now I wonder I the model was not 'downgraded' before the release. Perhaps I'm just paranoid. Cheers, Robbie Even more interestingly, the ligand definitions such as bond orders can be modified _after_ release (as in the recent R12 case I noticed*)... I think this is owing to the lack of clear rules on small molecule changes - which means the PDB should be considered of limited value as a definitive record of small molecule chemistry.

Your suggestions will be of immense help Thanks in advance -- Regards Faisal School of Life Sciences JNU

Building upon that foundation, the lecture then covers sample preparation issues, data collection strategies, and basic image processing workflows for tomography, single particle analysis, and 2-D crystallography. It is an excellent introduction that will prepare people for real practical training on the microscope or to engage in serious conversations about cryo-EM: a great way to get started for anyone just joining a cryo-EM lab, or anyone who wants to be sure they have the basic concepts down.

[ccp4bb] Difference in the substrate specificity for TMP and CMP
Hello everyone I am working on a 5'-nucleotidase (Mg as a cofactor) and have a decent structure of the same at 2A resolution..While doing its biochemical characterization i found it hydrolyzing TMP: Thymine-5'-monophosphate at much higher rate than CMP Cytosine-5'-monophosphate (40 fold difference). Since the structure of TMP and CMP are very similar what could be the possible explanation for this difference or how one should approach to explain this difference..Can modelling, docking and energy minimization give an insight into this direction, if yes then what parameters should be looked into..To summarize..Theoretically how it is possible to explain this difference..?? Thanks in advance -- Regards Faisal School of Life Sciences JNU

Re: [ccp4bb] Help needed finding hit condition
Hello everyone. I remember the screen was again from Jenabioscience and this had happened with one of my protein. The screen was very old and the condition was peg3350, tris pH 8, lithium sulfate and NaCl as the salt. Hit was obtained which was never reproducible. Luckily I solved the structure from the hit itself which diffracted to 2.2A resolution. But it is still a mystery for us but this is all crystallography is. Strange things happen.

[ccp4bb] Off-topic question
Hi everyone, I was wondering can anyone suggest me how to project the primary sequence conservation calculated through the Consurf server. Any help or suggestion will be appreciated. I have pasted a figure from an article just for reference.

[ccp4bb] saving coordinates with respect to map in ChimeraX
Hello everyone While doing rigid body fit we know that after placing the coordinate to its correct position we can save it with respect to the map.

Re: [ccp4bb] saving coordinates with respect to map in ChimeraX
Hi Tristan I have posted my question in ChimeraX mailing list as well and waiting for their reply. What you are suggesting is for Chimera. I dont see any such option in ChimeraX. That save relative to section does not appear here or may be there is a different way of saving model relative to map in ChimeraX. Please correct me if I am wrong.
