Re: [ccp4bb] 100% Rmerge in high resolution shell

2013-11-19 Thread Graeme Winter
Usually this means that you have relatively high multiplicity, which give-or-take improves the I/sig(I) by sqrt(m) where m is the multiplicity, but also increases the Rmerge. For any given narrow shell of reflections, Rmerge ~ 0.8 / unmerged(I/sig(I)) merged(I/sig(I)) ~ sqrt(m) *

You would get a different MR solution in P41212 than in P43212 so you shouldnt test the SAME pdb in both SGS? Not sure I am understanding this though. Eleanor On 19 November 2013 05:02, #CHEN DAN# chen0...@e.ntu.edu.sg wrote: Hi Eleanor, I checked P43212 and P41212 by changing the header of

Dear Niu, concerning XDS: there is no way, using just XDS.INP, to force the IDXREF step to use a cell that is not compatible with the reflections that COLSPOT found. But I can think of two ways to reach your goal (even if I believe that crystallographically it makes no sense to ignore every

Dear Ed, when it comes to deciding about the high-resolution cutoff, I agree that the paired-refinement technique should be used - even more so as it does not require any of the data quality indicators! But my posting was meant in a more general sense (i.e. not only talking about high-resol

Hello, we work with proteins that have typically several chemically identical binding sites (viral capsid proteins fully assembled or as multimeric assembly-intermediates). Depending on how long at which concentrations they are soaked the chemically identical ligand pockets within one

If I understand the original post correctly, the binding sites in question are not chemically identical. While it's possible that lattice may invert the order in which sites are occupied, it is not very likely given that affinity gap is sufficient to be observable by ITC. Mutagenesis is a good

Hi Ed, you are right about the original question, but what I mean is this: if the occupancies (and B-factors) differ so much in crystals with IDENTICAL binding sites, i.e. identical affinities, does this not show that occupancies (and B-factors) do not reflect affinities alone, but
