Re: [ccp4bb] superpose crystal objects in CCP4MG or other software

2021-06-02 Thread Jon Cooper
I am thinking this could be done using pdbset to apply symops and origin shifts, etc, with a bit of checking in Coot, creative chain-ID's and some trial and error? Or using Coot to apply symops and save the resulting pdb's with different chain ID's and then concatenate them into a mini-lattice?

wwPDB validation reports are now provided in PDBx/mmCIF format for all new depositions in OneDep. This change makes validation data more interoperable with the PDB archival format. Data are more logically and better organized in the PDBx/mmCIF reports, and therefore more “database-friendly”

Hi Boaz Thank you. That works in Chimera (first superpose, then symmetry expand) but not in CCP4MG (independently of the order of the operations). It would be nice to have an equivalent option implemented in CCP4MG. Best regards Stefano Trapani Le 2021-06-02 16:20, Boaz Shaanan a

Hi Stefano, Did you try first to expand a unit cell in each lattice (using its symmops) and then superimpose two molecules from each lattice? Perhaps the expanded lattice wil move with the moving molecule? I don't know how to do this in ccp4mg but I think it's possible in Chimera. My 2p.

Dear Stuart That does not work. "Transform coordinates" seems to move molecules, but not the crystal symmetry elements (no update of the crystal symmetry operation matrices), so that crystal symmetry expansion after "Transform coordinates" does not generate a rotated/translated version of

Yes, that is the way I usually do, but it can be cumbersome. It would be easier if I could first superpose two molecules from the two crystals, and then decide in which directions to expand by crystal symmetry (I want to compare layers and rows of molecules). Best regards Stefano Le
