[ccp4bb] alpha lactose in COOT

2012-11-19 Thread Rex Palmer
Does anyone know why the ligand alpha lactose in COOT has at least one sugar ring that is not fully symmetrical. The CCDC deposited alpha lactose molecule has both rings perfectly symmetrical chairs. Rex Palmer http://www.bbk.ac.uk/biology/our-staff/emeritus-staff

Thank you for the information. They are only coordination bonds between the atoms, which I wouldn't personally class as a physical bond. I am also using WinCoot which does not have the option for Make Link under the Modelling tab in Extensions. Is this a function of the Linux version?

[ccp4bb] coot, shelx res files and R32 (H32)

2012-11-19 Thread Petr Leiman
Dear Developers of Coot, I believe that coot has never been able to display the crystallographic symmetry of a R32:H shelxl .res file. As a result, water picking does not work properly for such a file. Everything else seems to work fine. This is not a huge problem, but it would be nice to be

shelxl-2012 does include the space group in a way that Coot understands when it writes a .pdb file. This version is in the final beta-testing stage with a lot of new features (mainly for small molecules) and no known bugs, so I hope to release it soon. If anyone would like to try it now please

Dear George, Thank you very much for your continuing development of the shelx suite. A lot of users (yours truly included) are happy to continue using .res files in coot. It's just the stupid R32/H32 spacegroup that causes coot to misbehave a little. And I am simply very surprised of why this

Hi Grant, sounds like you did the right thing (as far as I can guess given the amount of information you provided). In a nutshell, both, B-factors and occupancies, model disorder. The difference is that occupancies model larger scale disorder (such as distinct conformations) than B-factors

Hi Grant, This is part of the recurring side chain discussion. There is no consensus in the community about what the optimal approach is. In your current approach you are adding a model parameter (occupancy) to improve the fit with the experimental data (remove negative difference density).
