[ccp4bb] AW: [ccp4bb] insertion code problem

2013-06-26 Thread Herman . Schreuder
Dear Rain, Insertion codes are still a sore point for many CCP4 programs and one of the reasons I prefer Buster over Refmac. Refmac5 does not remove insertion codes so I suspect the problem was with autoMR. The easiest is to superimpose your search model with insertion codes onto the pdb file

I think pdbset from CCP4 can renumber a PDB and hence get rid of the uggly insertion codes. On 06/26/2013 03:33 PM, herman.schreu...@sanofi.com wrote: Dear Rain, Insertion codes are still a sore point for many CCP4 programs and one of the reasons I prefer Buster over Refmac. Refmac5 does not

Dear Francois, I also prefer not to use insertion codes. However, for certain protein families (serine proteases, antibodies), vast amounts of literature exist using amino acid numbering schemes with insertion codes. By creating a new numbering scheme without insertion codes, one would create

Dear Jiang Yan, The Matthews function is based on an average protein crystal with 50% solvent. However, crystals do exist with as little as 25% solvent or as much as 75% solvent, so if your structure refines to an Rfree of 20%, your structure is solved and you have a crystal with a high

you may have only a few hundred and thus not get a reliable Rfree value. The estimate for the error in R free as a function of the number of reflections is as follows: Brunger initially estimated^35 that the uncertainty in R-free is proportional to (Nref )^-1/2, which is reasonable to assume
