Dear colleagues, is there any program enclosed in CCP4 to convert a *.brix file or a *.mrc file into a CCP4.map file? If not, is there any other way to do so?` Alle the best, Chris DIPL.-ING. CHRIS FRÖHLICH Crystallography Dept. | Daumke group Max-Delbrück-Centre for Molecular Medicine (MDC)

Hi Ed, 1. Go to NCBI BLAST and run the sequence against the PDB subset. The resulting list will have identities listed, so manual parsing is doable if there aren't too many hits. Have you looked at using NCBI EUtils for this? This might not solve your problem directly, but it should

I don't know of anything directly within CCP4 - but mrc format is almost identical to ccp4 map format. You could try using the mrc version as ccp4 and see if it works. If not, upsalla mapman will convert brix to ccp4. Pete Froehlich, Chris wrote: Dear colleagues, is there any program

Indeed, the intention is that .mrc and CCP4 .map are identical. There have been some problems over the years, which I would call bugs, leading to apparent incompatibility. I'd be interested in any specific cases of non-conforming software (i.e. if there are some .mrc files which CCP4 programs

Hi, We collected data using our in-house Bruker Proteum X8 diffractometer and after using Xprep to integrate the images the output HKL file was converted to an mtz using CCP4's Scalepack2mtz. The prp file generated by Xprep shows good statistics with completeness and good data for 2.4

Hi Annette Mosflm can only read Bruker images correctly after they have been converted with frm2frm (available from Bruker) - this program unwarps them and writes them in a format that Mosflm can understand. On 25 Jun 2012, at 17:25, Annette Medina Morales wrote: Also, I have recently tried

Dear Annette, xprep (at least the xprep written by George Sheldrick, which comes with Bruker machines) is not a data integration program! Given that you collected data on a Bruker machine, presumably used saint/ the apex software for data integration, then xprep, possibly after scaling the data

Dear Annette, I suspect that a trivial error like confusing F and intensity is the cause of your problem. You would probably get a better response if you sent your message to the very informative Bruker mailing list or asked one of the Bruker applications scientists. If you wish to send me

[ccp4bb] Off-topic His-Antibody

Are there any good antibodies for His-tags on the market. I have never used one and I heard several stories that they were poor and not worth the money, over the past few years. The only post I could find on the BB was from 2008. Have His-Antibodies improved or are they still rubbish.

The one we have is rubbish. I can tell a vendor name if you want off-list. A lot of non-specific bands + high background level makes it almost impossible to use against cell lysate. It sort of works against purified His-tag protein, but not perfect either. On Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 4:33 PM, D
