Hello Eric, If it's about PDB, it worked for me a few days ago. (I used *rsync -rlpt -v -z --delete --port=33444 rsync.rcsb.org::ftp_data/structures/divided/pdb/ /yourfolder*) Bulat Gabidullin CMCF, Canadian Light Source On Fri, Jul 5, 2019 at 10:10 AM Eric Williams wrote: > Has anyone

[ccp4bb] BDB rsync

2019-07-05 Thread Eric Williams
Has anyone successfully accessed the BDB lately? I downloaded the whole thing by rsync about a year ago, but I am no longer able to do so. I don't seem to be getting any response from the rsync server at all. If others are able to access it, I should be looking for a problem on my end. Thanks. :)

Dear Sam, If you have a P1 space group and your dataset was collected in a single orientation, you will have a great big gaping cusp in it. I would suggest that you submit your full dataset to the STARANISO server at http://staraniso.globalphasing.org/cgi-bin/staraniso.cgi

You cannot directly compare R-factors because they are calculated over different sets of data. It's apples and oranges. Your R-factor gap is a bit large too, perhaps your model can be improved a bit for instance by using tighter geometric restraints. Cheers, Robbie > -Original

looks like a case of the "if Rfree is lower than 0.300 the structure is perfect, if Rfree is higher than 0.300 your structure is completely rubbish" police striking again (some reviewers are like this). A bit like if p is smaller than 0.05 the effect is definitely real and if p is just about

Well - i would always do the final refinement to the highest resolution with CC1/2 > 0.5 There may be other problems with the data - completeness low for current standards .. Does multiplicity fall off with resolution etc? Is there considerable anisotropy? both sets of R factors look

Dear all Hello again Thanks a lot for the numerous input. I received a dataset which was processed to 2.4A but refined to 3A -- this was the background I raised this question in the first place. Then I looked at the aimless statistics. At 2.4A the high resolution bin CC1/2 0.626, I/sigI 2.0,

Another reason to cut the data (temporarily!) is to avoid discussion later when you try to publish your model. You need to be able to defend your high resolution cut-off against the R-merge zealots. The paired refinement test to find a good resolution cut-off works well for that. It is based on

Dear Graeme, Right, but you are talking about weights that reflect the data quality and say nothing about that of the starting model ; however refinement is a comparison of a model with data. The higher resolution of the data, the more sensitive they to model imperfections. Refinement

Pavel, Please correct if wrong, but I thought most refinement programs used the weights e.g. sig(I/F) with I/F so would not really have a hard cut off anyway? You’re just making the stats worse but the model should stay ~ the same (unless you have outliers in there) Clearly there will be a
