[ccp4bb] defining restraints in refmac

2008-08-14 Thread Sean Johnson
All, Is it possible to define restraints for individual amino acids in refmac? For example, can I add planar peptide restraints to a small region of my protein without applying those restraints to the entire model? Thanks, Sean -- Sean Johnson, PhD R. Gaurth Hansen Assistant Professor Utah Sta

[ccp4bb] ligand interaction viewers

2008-08-14 Thread Kathleen Frey
Hi Everyone, I've been using programs ligplot and ligand explorer to view protein-ligand and protein-cofactor interactions of a structure I've recently solved. Can anyone suggest a better program to view these interactions? Ligand explorer seems to only show distance (and not geometric) dependent

Hi all One should be aware of some stats about twinning (and in general): 1) If you have perfect hemihedral twinning and no correlated rotational NCS then random R factors are around 40 instead of Luzzati's 58. 2) If you have perfecthemihedral twinning and you are not modelling twin then r

Jan Abendroth a écrit : Hi all, kind of a weird problem - the R-factors of a refinement using the new twin refinement in refmac are low, almost suspiciously low: A good 1.9AA data set, space group H3/R3, many statistics starting with truncate's cumulative intensity distribution clearly suggest
