Hi David, Why not do all those things with Rwork? It is much less noisy than Rfree. Have you ever seen a case in such analysis where Rwork didn't tell you the same thing Rfree did?  If so, did you believe the difference? Once when I was playing with lossy image compression if I picked just

Hi John, Thank you for explanation. The most recent encounter I had on this issue was with 3DMM and 3B9K. You would know better what caused chain renaming here, but it doesn't look like any of the two scenarios you describe. Whatever the reason was I'm glad to hear that this is not a

Dear Mohamed, The situation you describe applies also to multiple crystal structures studied as a function not only of time but also of temperatures and pressures. I enquired if the numberings of discussed waters and so on could be retained across the related crystal structures in the PDB. The

Dear Vaheh Usually we do not rename chains as part of the curation procedure. There are instances when we do, for example when a chain has to be split into two chains and a new chain has to be defined, but this isn't typical. Because of this the wwPDB mmCIF file for each entry will usually

Hi All, I have a very similar question; why can't we retain the same water numbering as the deposited files. For articles that discuss waters, it is a considerable challenge. For example, for serial crystallography structures, it becomes confusing and harder for the readers to follow the water

[ccp4bb] renaming chains

2021-11-01 Thread Oganesyan, Vaheh
Hi All, This question is mostly for RCSB and PDBe: why are you renaming chains in the deposited PDB files? Why does it matter what letter is assigned to the chain? For 1,2 or 3 chain structures it is manageable, but for more chains and/or many complexes per asu this becomes quite a challenge.

Hi James, What you wrote makes lots of sense. I had not heard about Rsleep, so that looks like interesting reading, thanks. I have often used Rfree as a simple tool to compare two protocols. If I am not actually optimising against Rfree but just using it for a one-off comparison then that is
