Re: [ccp4bb] coiled coil question

Dear all, I thank everyone who directed me to coiled coil structures where the alpha helical chains are related by a crystallographic axis. My question was prompted by an examination of structures (mainly parallel homodimers) where this is not the case. In most structures, including 2zta (the

Dear all, I am using the density modification tool in ccp4 to generate improved phases for/from my model. I find that the electron density map I generate using Fobs, and density modified phases (PHIDM) are not the same as that generated using Fobs, phicalc (original calculated phases) and

Dear all, My sincere apologies at the outset for a non-ccp4 question. I am trying to install ubuntu-8.04.1 (64-bit) linux on my windows xp containing core2 laptop so as to create a dual boot system. At the moment windows xp is installed on a 30GB partition and there is another 20 GB FAT32

[ccp4bb] problem running DISTANG

Hello, I am trying to run the CCP4 program DISTANG from the command line (in order to do a translational grid search of a molecule over the asymmetric unit). But the program aborts with the following error message when I type DISTANG at the command line.
