[ccp4bb] Pymol alignment command grammar help

2017-03-17 Thread Alex Lee
Dear CCP4BB members, I tried to use pymol command to align two proteins, I read the pymol wiki and I could not understand the command grammars (I am not computer major and not familiar with machine language). For example pymol wiki says as below: Furthermore, you may wish to restrict the

Re: [ccp4bb] ITC question

2017-03-17 Thread Scott Horowitz
I recall a case of this a few years ago where it had to do with the relative concentration of the protein to the buffer/salt molecules (can't remember which anymore), which ended up being important in the binding that was observed. So it was entirely a concentration effect that caused the

[ccp4bb] ITC question

Dear colleagues, We have a target where people have measured Kd's for ligands using radioligand binding assays. Several publications report Kd's of single digit nanomolar and we are able to reproduce that data using this assay format. When we try to do the same measurement using ITC, we generate

[ccp4bb] Positive densities map on selective residues on Coot or Pymol

Dear All, In Coot, I could adjust the densities of map (2Fo-Fc in my case) radius, but I'd like to show the density on selective residues, not on the unselected part of structure, is there a way to do it? I am using WinCoot 0.81. In addition, could Pymol do it? Thanks ahead!

One way is to refine the best chain out of four, first and then generate a seperate pdb for that chain only and use molecular replacement to find the rest of the three chains. It does help with improving map to certain extent. Also delete the missing residues one by one and then run refmac to see
