Re: [ccp4bb] large R-Rfree difference in final structure

2011-07-14 Thread ccp4
Hi, Ian Tickle has asked the most pertinent question - there are many reasons for highish FreeR factors. Only some are due to errors or missing molecules or other problems. How many Free reflections are there? When the sample is very small ( 500 say) you can get different results from a different

[ccp4bb] Influence of symmetry related molecules on a protomer conformation in crystal structures

I know, in PyMOL using 'symexp' possible to generate symmetry related molecules for a given crystal structure. But I'm looking for some program/software (for batch) by which I can find out the number of symmetry related molecules (distance cutoff = 5A) interacting with a given chain in a crystal

Dear Careina, As other have mentioned, my feeling is that something is suspicious. However the problem might be very difficult or impossible to catch and other structures have been deposited with similar R/Rfrees... What I would check in addition to what has been mentioned, is if some twinning

[ccp4bb] Multi crystal averaging : data on same scale before averaging?

Hi all Walking through multi xtal averaging with RAVE. I finally got a good mask and optimized NCS for my xtal forms. However, in the CRAVE manual I see this - the reflections in the input MTZ files *MUST* have been put on the same temperature factor scale prior to cross-crystal

If I recall correctly DATAMAN does Wilson scaling in which the scale and B-factor are adjusted so the average reflection intensity in resolution bins are the same. I suspect it may not be required if all the data have been put on an approximately absolute scale by e.g. truncate (although that

[ccp4bb] output individual redundancies

I am looking for a way to output redundancy per individual reflection, preferably for scala but if that is not possible then maybe for scalepack. From my (admittedly quick) look at the scala manual it seems that I can use something like UNMERGED output option to exclude outliers and then would

You are right that refining occupancy and B value at the same time cant be done with REFMAC, and probably wouldnt work anyway at 2.9A However, if you set the ligand occupancy to 0.7 say, and refine the residue B factors, the occupancy should not be set back to 1.0. It certainly isnt in the
