Re: [ccp4bb] hydrohyapatite column

2010-11-30 Thread Daniel Picot
Hydroxyapatite can be miraculous, but is often very capricious: among 
others, it is  temperature sensitive and two different corners of a 
somewhat inhomogeneous cold room may provide different results.

Hi all,
I read/heard that hydroxyapatite column can be used to purify proteins, getting 
separation results orthogonal to ion exchange and size exclusion chromatography.
I was wondering if any of you would be kind enough to share her/his experience 
with me, and would suggest vendors and models for such columns.
Thanks in advance,
best,

[ccp4bb] Postdoc position at SLS

2010-11-30 Thread Meitian Wang


Postdoctoral Fellow
Your task
You are responsible for the development of an extension of the fast  
global electron beam orbit feedback system, with the aim to stabilize  
the X-ray beam in position and angle at the position of the sample  
over a wide frequency range. To this end you will characterize the  
dynamic response properties of the electron beam and X-ray beam  
position monitors. Based on these results, beam dynamics studies will  
be carried out to determine the influence of the envisaged feedback  
system extension on the global orbit stability. The system will  
require a completely transparent X-ray optical system. Automatic  
initialization, self calibration and analytical modeling of the beam- 
transport by means of geometrical optics is hence a prerequisite.  
Feedback interlocks will be necessary in order to minimize the risk of  
accidental orbit distortions or even beam dumps due to the  
system.Since your contribution is most critical for the operation of  
the SLS you will have to design, implement and test the feedback  
system extension in close collaboration with the responsible beam  
dynamics and diagnostic experts as well as the corresponding beam line  
scientists.

Your profile
You hold a PhD degree in physics, with experience in theoretical and  
experimental accelerator physics in the fields of beam optics or in  
the field of X-ray optics. You are a skilled user of common related  
software tools (e.g. MAD, Elegant, MATLAB, XOP, SRW) and a programming  
language, ideally C/C++. You have basic knowledge of electronics and  
related measurement techniques. Experience in simulation of X-ray beam  
lines is advantageous.
You enjoy the work in an interdisciplinary and multi-national research  
team. You are motivated to expand your knowledge and experience and  
look forward to the development of novel feedback systems exploiting  
synergies between the accelerator and the beam line domain. Good  
communication skills in English are expected, knowledge of German is  
advantageous.

Re: [ccp4bb] restraints for cis-bonds, ACD cif file

2010-11-30 Thread Nigel Moriarty
Nathaniel

The atom names in the file I sent have the correct atom names as
defined by the PDB for ACD. Naturally, the atom names in your PDB file
and the restraints CIF file should match and given that you need the
correct names to deposit your structure into the PDB, then I would
recommend doing it sooner later than later.  PHENIX has a number of
tools to do this for you and we can talk off-line about them.

 I appreciate the input Paul and Nigel. The cif dictionary file you sent me 
 doesn't have matching restraint definitions for 53 atoms in the ACD file. I 
 opened the cif file you sent and extracted the SMILES code for ACD. Then I 
 ran it in phenix.elbow to have it generate a pdb of the ACD. Then i would use 
 the cif file you sent and import it into coot or phenix.refine, but it would 
 not match the cif and pdb. I can wait for the new nightly build to come out, 
 but I was wondering why this process wouldn't work.

 Paul, I'm not as familiar with the CCP4 suite. Refmac5 doesn't give me as 
 many new Fo-Fc peaks to build more model into as does phenix.refine even 
 though Rfree numbers are comparable.
