[ccp4bb] Molecular Replacement model preparation

2014-10-05 Thread Luzuokun
Dear all, I’m doing molecular replacement using Phaser. My protein is predicted to have two domain with a “hinge” linking them. The model sequence identity is 0.27. But the MR result is poor. I’ve tried other programme (Molrep, MrBump, Balbes,,,_.) But no improvement was observed. I

Hi all, reading this beauty I would like to ask a question to the respective developers: Will the PDB format remain the working format for the users and only upon deposition will it be converted to PDBml for archiving purposes, or are the refinement programs (et al.) going to abandon PDB, too?

Well, if you simply replace that beauty by this one: grep ^ATOM filename.cif | awk '{print $15}' | awk '{s+=$1;} END {print s/NR;}' You will achieve exactly the same result (the b-factors are in the 15th field of the _atom_site section in deposited mmCIF files). I'm not an expert in awk,

mmCIF is a very general format with tag-value pairs, and loops so that tags do not need to be repeated endlessly. It was designed so that there is the flexibility of defining new terms easily and presenting the data in any order and with any kind of spacing. I understand that there are 10+

Since there is a hinge, you could try searching with the two domains separately. On 10/05/14 03:34, Luzuokun wrote: Dear all, I’m doing molecular replacement using Phaser. My protein is predicted to have two domain with a “hinge” linking them. The model sequence identity is 0.27. But the MR

Thanks Frances for the explanation. Indeed mmCIF format is a lot more complicated and grep can be a dangerous tool to use with them. But for most cases it can do the job and thus it maintains some sort of backwards compatibility. I can't agree more that using specialised tools (for either PDB
