Hello Scott, hmmm - it is quite difficult to do a good analysis of your problem, remotely. You've tried the enantiomorphic space group I4(3), just to be sure? In principle, the molecular replacement solution given by Phaser sounds good, but this is no proof of whether it's correct. What

Hi Maybe any parameter setting unchanged from the values in the $CCP4/ccp4i/tasks/*.def file should be internally flagged as being at the 'default value' - resulting in them _not_ being written to the com-file? This way any potential change in defaults inside the actual program would have

It is a bit clunky - you can use siperpose molecules - fit residues to fit a selected range (1-40; 60-100 say) and write out a complete fitted pdb file. Then you could use a VERY old program compar xyzin1 original.pdb xyzin2 fitted.pdb (xyzin3 another.pdb) and it will match all pairs with the

I would agree with Clemens that the Scala GUI task generates far too many keyworded commands, for things which have sensible defaults in the program. One problem conundrum for the GUI (because it works by generating a script without actually running the program) is that the GUI has no

Hi all Apologies for the non-ccp4 question - hopefully some of you who use CNS can help me - I have a problem with anneal.inp in CNS: When I run the anneal script for my structure containing novel ligand, the program fails before the start of the torsion dynamics with no error message -

Hi Emmanuel, Perhaps a little more information ? What was the Z-score and LLG in PHASER ? I take it the translation function solution is fairly well separated from the rest ? Are you sure the spacegroup is correct ? How complete is the model before refinement ? Not to be paranoid, but

[ccp4bb] Filament Lifetime

2007-05-11 Thread Mark Agacan
I think the filament from one of our x-ray generators must be a record breaker. Yesterday it clocked up its 6000th hour or 250th day on the job, not counting down / holiday time. The intensity had only dropped by around 25 % of the value it was when I put it in, eight-and-a-half months ago...

I would highly recommend Doug Theobald's program Theseus for this - the pictures at www.theseus3d.org say it all. Theseus does maximum likely hood superimpositions of multiple structures (i.e. NOT pairwise against a master copy), and the real beauty of it is that you don't have to pick
