[ccp4bb] database-assisted data archive

Dear all, going through some previous lab member's data and trying to make sense of it, I was wondering what kind of solutions exist to simply the archiving and retrieval process. In particular, what I have in mind is a web interface that allows a user who has just returned from the

Do you want the frames to be accessible too ? If not, then a.wiki would be an easy solution. Alternatively a Filemaker database would do the trick too. Jürgen .. Jürgen Bosch Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Department of Biochemistry Molecular Biology Johns

I did something like that for plasmids by putting together a web interface, php, and MySQL. It was simple, maybe a little ugly, but worked nicely. The problem was convincing anyone to actually use it was virtually impossible. --paul On 08/18/2010 04:52 AM, Andreas Förster wrote: Dear all,

Hi all, I know scaling up from a hit found from a high throughput screen is an empirical process, but does anyone have a good rule of thumb as a starting point when it comes to scaling up from a hit observed in an Intelliplate to a Linbro plate (i.e., change in volume ratios, amount to add to

There is an image archiving system called TARDIS (http://tardis.edu.au/) that sounds more-or-less exactly like what you describe. I agree that it would be nice if you can get your synchrotron to do it for you, but since every single beamline and home-source setup in the world has already been

Hi Mo What you need to remember is that a relatively large amount of protein is lost from smaller drops. The ratio of surface area to volume is greater. With 100 + 100 nl drops about half of the protein is lost, either as skin on the drops or on the plastic of the plate. So when you

Dear Andreas, If you really want to do this, and want to define what is the data is, it's not _so_ difficult to do it yourself, with Ruby on Rails ( http://rubyonrails.org/) You have to know how to script a bit, and know a bit about Model/View/Controller frameworks.

I assume you're sure you even *need* to scale up? Most of our structures come from crystals from small (150-300nl) drops, we consider a 100um crystal already huge. And if a smaller crystal doesn't diffract far enough on a modern beamline, chances are a large one won't either (quite apart
