Dear Hua, adding water as suggested by Jan Kern could also be accomplished in a more sophisticated way by using dialysis buttons. They require large volumes, though, 5mul is the minimum as far as I know. At the fancy end of this you could try the TOPAZ system by fluidigm. At the ECM in

Hello everybody, Currently I am refining my 6 x 220 amino acid structure and I was wondering if COOT is automatically writing a kind of protocol what I am changing in my pdb file when I am fitting-in new residues or mutate amino acids. If so where can I find it? Thanks a lot, Stefanie Dr.

Hi, I'm on Garib's side here. The way the maximum likelihood targets work, the variances are defined relative to the average intensity in a resolution shell, so if you change the falloff the variances will change in the same way. In fact, one way to implement maximum likelihood refinement is

Hi, Stefanie Are those 6 molecules related by NCS? If so, you can model one first, and use transform_coords_molecule (imol, rtop) to generate others. I used to do this five times for a pentamer: output_pdb='template' for i in range (2,6): transform_coords_molecule (1, [[x1, y1, z1, x2,

Dear Randy, thanks for your comment - a good point with the likelihood target estimated from E-values! So, in principle, there shouldn't be any difference in maximum-likelihood refinement using sharpened data or not. However, for curiosity, in one case at 4.3 A resolution and a sharpening

Replacing the Coot step by FFT works too. An additional benefit of the Coot approach is that you can use LSQ-matched maps and maps on different grids and space groups. (I was under the impression that that was not quite so easy with FFT.) Also worth noting, Coot does not (yet) do

Hello Hena, maybe the libpng12.so.0 libraries on your system happen to be all 32-bit versions. You installed the 64-bit version (because of the x86_64 in the name of the tar-archive), therefore you also require a 64-bit version of the libpng12.so.0. Do you have such a file in /usr/lib, and if so,
