Re: [ccp4bb] fail to install ccp4i task for arp warp

Dear Jochen and the others, your problem is different from the one described here recently and a different fix will be needed. One major difference is that in your case CCP4 was installed via fink, while I have used the ccp4.ac.uk download pages which as far as I can tell never resulted in an

This is not really protein crystallography but we are trying to model build a ligand into a protein binding site. A similar ligand is already in place and we want to replace this by initially superimposing a phenyl ring which is common to both ligands. We understand that such superpositioning

Dear Rex, if you need to fit only one ligand, and if this fit is the starting point for further model building, the quickest way to do it is to do a manual superposition. (calculate - model/fit/refine/ - rotate/translate zone). If you click twice on an atom of the phenyl ring, your ligand will

Hi Rex, the command phenix.superpose_ligands 1.pdb 2.pdb will do it. 1.pdb and 2.pdb are two PDB files containing the ligands. The output result will be in overlay_1_pdb_2_pdb.pdb file. The algorithm is based on graph matching, and it is good for ligand-sized molecules. The atom labels
