1, Check your directory permission. Make sure you have the read and execute permission for that directory (sometimes like this* drwxr-xr-x*). 2, Try to install CCP4 package by *fink*. There's already a stable version for Lion. (http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/ccp4) On Tue, May 22,

lovely density - i would like to know what % of series have multiple conformations - it would need a survey I guess of PDB depositions, not just coordinates, but checking maps.. Eleanor On 21 May 2012 22:21, Uma Ratu rosiso2...@gmail.com wrote: Thank you All for you inputs. Uma On Mon,

Dear Uma 1. The protein sequence given in the databases, do from time to time have errors, particularly if you are working with old proteins (when the sequencing was done a long time ago). What you observe could also be a threonine or even a valine. You should check whether homologous

Hi folks The list of microsymposia at ECM27 is now available, but the list of speakers has not yet been finalised. Bear in mind that earlybird registration closes on 31st May, when the cost jumps by 750 NOK (~€100) for full participants, 550NOK (~€72) for students. The meeting website is

[ccp4bb] Purify protein-DNA complex

2012-05-22 Thread Wei Huang
Dear CCP4ers, I am working on purifying a protein-DNA complex for structural and biochemical studies. So far, I can readily make protein 95% pure in high salt buffer. However, I have some problems in assembling the protein-DNA complex. 1) My protein precipitates at low salt buffer. I think this

Wei, I am not sure if I can solve your problem, but I can try to give insight. I am also working with a similar protein-DNA complex situation. I normally purify the protein by itself, and maintain the salt at 250 mM or greater. Addition of 1.5x DNA stabilizes this complex and I am able to

[ccp4bb] Calculating ED Maps from structure factor files with no sigma

2012-05-22 Thread Francisco Hernandez-Guzman
Hello everyone, My apologies if this comes as basic, but I wanted to get the expert's take on whether or not the sigmaF values are required in the calculation of an electron density map. If I look at the standard ED equation, sigma's don't appear to be a requirement but all the scripts that

Re: [ccp4bb] Calculating ED Maps from structure factor files with no sigma

2012-05-22 Thread Pete Meyer
Your understanding is correct, sigmaF values aren't required for calculating electron density. Many programs that calculate maps have an option to use the F/sigmaF ratio to threshold the amplitudes used in map calculation - which would require sigmaF. This isn't something I've seen used
