I am absolutely delighted at the response I have gotten to my little John Henry Challenge! Three people already have managed to do the impossible. Congratulations to George Sheldrick, Pavol Skubak and Raj Pannu for finding ways to improve the phases over the ones I originally obtained (using

[ccp4bb] ccp4 update

2013-01-14 Thread Andreas Förster
Dear CCP4 maintainers, I've come to appreciate the CCP4 update functionality, which, in our multiuser network (RHEL 6.2), I used to invoke by calling $CCP4/bin/update. Update 012 removed that script with no immediately obvious replacement. Was that on purpose? Is there a way of updating

[ccp4bb] engh huber

To what extent modern geometric restraints have been upgraded over original EnghHuber? And where I can find a consensus set of values (with variances)? For example, Fisher et al., Acta D68:800 discusses how histidine angles change with protonation, and refers to EnghHuber when it says that

Hi Ed, Chapter 18.3 of international tables vol F includes values designated EH99 which are from a more recent CSD release than the original 1991 Engh Huber paper. R. A. Engh and R. Huber. Structure quality and target parameters. International Tables for Crystallography (2012). Vol. F, ch.

There was an update by EH in 2001 in the International Tables Vol F. There are a small number of modifications to the 1991 values in the update as well as the addition of several conformational variabilities. If I understand correctly, Refmac and Phenix use the 2001 values, with the only

Article in the Tables is the answer to my question about the latest EnghHuber parameters. These still don't match Fig.6 from Fisher, but I am OK with using Tables for my internal purposes. Thanks to Mitchell and Dale for prompt response. Cheers, Ed. -- After much deep and profound brain

I actually chose 3dko because it is a kinase (with a ligand), and therefore an interesting candidate for a molecular replacement score. I have not set this up yet, but I think if you look for PDB entries that contain the word kinase and try to molecular-replace all of them into the 3dko dataset,
