Re: [ccp4bb] how to fix a single helice

Hi there, The way to fix or freeze an entire section of a protein molecule will depend on the refinement program used. For example, in CNS, I would go to the = atom selection = section in the input file(s) and change the parameters there. You can fix atoms, or apply harmonic restraints.

Re: [ccp4bb] problem with CNS bgroup refinement

2010-07-17 Thread Frederic VELLIEUX
Hi, I never carry out grouped B-factor refinement at that resolution... Also you (probably) will want to do TLS refinement. I think that is not possible in the current (v1.2) CNS. Implemented in Refmac and Phenix, I don't know if it will be implemented in the upcoming CNS v1.3. Fred.

Dear all, as a followup to recent discussions about attachments and their underlying problems, I uploaded the figures from Bernhard Rupp's book Biomolecular Crystallography to the CCP4 user wiki, with permission by the author. The article is at

You can use harmonic restraint. There is no option on the interface. However you can create and use keyword file on the interface. In the keywords file you need to give instruction where you want to put harmonic restraints. Syntax is: for particular atom: external harmonic chain [ch]

Hi As far as I know Paul and Eugene are working very hard to make this option painlessly available to users. With the current versions of refmac and coot I would check carefully at every stage. In coot I would look at the distance berween atoms supposed to be linked (even if they are not

[ccp4bb] modified base in DNA when using CNS

2010-07-17 Thread hongjunyu
Hi, I think I have new problems here with CNS. The structure contains a DNA with a abasic dideoxyribose(1p,2p-dideoxyribofuranose-5p-phosphate,3DR). But the pdb genetated by generated_easy.inp lose the abasic site. I used the .param and .top of 3DR on HIC-Up website. They work when the model is
