[ccp4bb] refmac output query

2023-03-16 Thread Emmanuel Saridakis
Dear All, A quick question about Refmac on ccp4i. When refining an RNA oligonucleotide structure using the findwaters option, the pdb output labels all the atoms as HETATM (inluding the original RNA atoms which were not so labelled in the input pdb). It is of course trivial to correct this,

Re: [ccp4bb] Covalent link with AceDRG

2023-03-16 Thread Rob Nicholls
Dear Marian, How do you know that it’s still a double bond? Is it due to the way that it’s displayed in Coot, or based on the interatomic distances after refinement? Could you have a look in the AceDRG link dictionary (.cif) and confirm the order of the bond? Search for a “_chem_mod_bond” loop

[ccp4bb] Covalent link with AceDRG

2023-03-16 Thread Marian Oliva
Dear all, I'm having an issue running AceDRG for making a covalent link between a compound (with a double bond) and a target His (linking atom NE2). I am running the program in ccp4i2 (ccp4-7.1.018). I have, of course, include the .cif file of the compound (obtained from SMILE using eLBOW)

Re: [ccp4bb] anomalous data usage

2023-03-16 Thread Paul Bond
I believe there are many advantages to storing things *internally* as data objects with metadata instead of as columns of an MTZ file. How many students know what FP,SIGFP mean? And how many know that the FP,SIGFP columns in Refmac's HKLIN are not the same as the FP,SIGFP columns in HKLOUT? In an

We are hitting the same problems also with students (so no rigidified brains I think) ... the concept of "files" seems absolutely natural (also to them) and when they ask about solving more tricky problems in i2 ... we do the obvious, go back to ccp4i. I2 is fine when things are smooth and easy.
