Re: [ccp4bb] CIF file Cannot Open by Coot

2024-08-15 Thread Philip D. Jeffrey
If you have not edited the file, the WebCSD file will contain the contents of the asymmetric unit of a small molecule structure, with reported geometry and esds, but no restraints, not least of all because small molecule refinements are (nearly always) unrestrained. This would be CIF format. C

An NIH-funded postdoctoral research position is available immediately in the Hughson lab at Princeton University. Our group’s research focuses on the remarkable protein machinery that generates the interior architecture of eukaryotic cells by orchestrating the formation and fusion of cargo-carry

Paul was a little too terse, perhaps. In script form peakmax MAPIN myfile.ccp4 XYZOUT myfiles_omit_atom.pdb << EOF-pmx keywords in here EOF-pmx at least that's what works for me in Csh. Bash proselytizers will correct me as necessary... Phil Jeffrey Princeton

Re: [ccp4bb] Lowering R factor from small molecule structure

2021-06-03 Thread Philip D. Jeffrey
R1 of 17% is bad for small molecule. 0.8 Å is in the eye of the beholder - if you're using macromolecular cutoffs then these might be too aggressive for small molecule-type refinement stats - try a more conservative cutoff lie 0.9 and see how that changes R1. However I suspect it's more to do w

K-containing structures, I haven't found a counter-example yet - apart from those where the UNK residues are a single contiguous stretch and given their own chain ID. So a recent problem? From: Philip D. Jeffrey mailto:pjeff...@princeton.edu>> Sent: 12

Re: [ccp4bb] Bug in mmCIF handling of UNK residues?

2021-02-12 Thread Philip D. Jeffrey
Doesn't seem to be the case for all instances: that table isn't present in 5BV0 despite the N-terminal residues of Nyv1 being modeled as UNK in the Vps16:Vps33:Nyv1 complex due to a symmetry overlap. Nyv1, C165-179 are UNK with partial occupancy, which is the N-terminal part of the model for th

Re: [ccp4bb] Tyr pushed out during refinement

2020-10-19 Thread Philip D. Jeffrey
As Paul observes, there's a bona fide email list for phenix, but in fact comparing REFMAC to phenix.refine might be useful to see if this really is a program bug or if it's a bug in the model. Sometimes one is better than the other. For phenix.refine: Put the Tyr in the "right" place and scou

:: which indicates the 6 molecules are far away from each other. Those are just the symmetry operators for space group P321. It tells you nothing about how far apart the molecules are, although the cell dimensions do in fact impose some constraints. However look at REMARK 350 in the PDB format

Sanity check: Please check that the number of the reflections in the .mtz file is the same as in the .sca file. Please check that the cell dimensions in the MTZ file are the same as in the header of the .sca file If that's true, and it probably is, then this is a general issue with SCALEPACK -

Hello Abhik In coot use: Calculate>Merge Molecules to append one structure to another. Coot will change the chain labels for you, which might work out OK in this case. Alternatively, I've done a lot of this in my time: Make a copy of the reference PDB file Open it in a simple text edit (emacs,
