[ccp4bb] SMILES from PDB records

2024-09-13 Thread Hekstra, Doeke Romke
Hi, Does anyone have experience (or scripts!) to extract ligand SMILES from macromolecular PDB records using the PDB data API or from a library of PDB or mmCIF files? We would greatly appreciate any pointers to get us started. Thank you, Doeke = Doeke Hekstra Assistant Professor of Molecu

Hi Arpita, H and D have the same number of electrons (1). The D nucleus has an extra neutron, changing its mass and therefore its vibrational energy levels. That can affect hydrogen bonding patterns, although I would expect the effect to be relatively minor (see e.g. Fisher and Helliwell, Acta

Hi Matt, It would be helpful if you could describe your case in more detail. Do you want to change the resolution cutoff after scaling? Do you want to keep more data? Fewer? Or do you mean something different such as truncation to generate amplitudes, application of anisotropic resolution cutof

Hi Murpholino, You could go the route of comparing refined models, as described by Dr. Yorke. As Dr. Dodson describes, isomorphous difference maps are another way to compare datasets. A benefit is that they do not require separate refinement of models for both states, which can render the compa

Hi James, With a budget of $1e12, I would like to ask for a database of fully ab initio QM simulations of proteins and systems of interest. I'd love to see equilibrium and non-equilibrium simulation, e.g. for photosystems I/II actually absorbing photons and responding thereto. I'd like to see a

Hi, I would like to be sure about which symmetry operation the M/ISYM column in an MTZ file is referring to. Is it correct that this matches the order in CCP4's /lib/data/syminfo.lib (at least when this order is unique-it is not always so)? Would anyone know why the order in one of my favorite

Dear colleagues, Something to muse over during the holidays: Let's say we have three crystal forms of the same protein, for example crystallized with different ligands. Crystal forms A and B have the same crystal packing, except that one unit cell dimension differs by, for example, 3%. Crystal

Hi everyone, When I was looking for faculty positions, I completely misunderstood this language too. I didn't apply to some places because of this odd "9-month" language, only to realize I was getting a 9-month salary after all! Mark is, of course, right that this practice is nearly universal,
