Re: [ccp4bb] Series termination effect calculation.

2012-09-17 Thread James Holton
Yes, the constant term in the 5-Gaussian structure factor tables does become annoying when you try to plot electron density in real space, but only if you try to make the B factor zero. If the B factors are ~12 (like they are in 1m1n), then the electron density 2.0 A from an Fe atom is not

[ccp4bb] mosflm and dectris pilatus

Dear all We have recently collected data at XRD1 beamline at Sincrotrone Trieste on a Dectris Pilatus detector. We are unable to integrate the images in mosflm, which keeps crashing with some error: e.g. profile_fitted_partials or b_slope or some such! (indexing seems to work ok). Any

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear James et al., so to summarise, the answer to Niu's question is that he must add a factor of e^(-Bs^2) to the formula of Cromer/Mann and then adjust the value of B until it matches the inset. Given that you claim rho=0.025e/A^3 (I assume for

[ccp4bb] imosflm background definition

2012-09-17 Thread Andreas Förster
Hi all, I'm integrating data from a crystal with a fairly long axis. In iMosflm (1.0.7), the background definition is so generous that plenty of pixels from adjacent peaks are included (see attached). Can someone tell me how I redefine the background to be tighter around the spots?

Re: [ccp4bb] imosflm background definition

2012-09-17 Thread A Leslie
Hi Andreas, The simple answer to this is that you do NOT attempt to redefine the background. Providing the additional spots shown in your image belong to the same lattice, mosflm will automatically exclude pixels from adjacent spots when doing the background plane

[ccp4bb] problem with phenix refine and non bonded interactions

I am using Phenix 1.8-1069. I am having a problem with phenix refine terminating with an error message. I added several solvent molecules, MPD and bicarbonate in Coot, and ran Phenix ReadySet to generate restraints for them and applied those restraints to all future jobs in that project. When I

[ccp4bb] B-iso vs. B-aniso

Dear community, The protein model I am refining has 400 amino acids (3320 atoms). Some real quick calculations tell me that to properly refine it anisotropically, I would need 119,520 observations. Given my unit-cell dimension and space-group it is equivalent to about a 1.24 A complete data

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear, 1.24A resolution is reasonable for anisotropic refinement - including restraints you have more observations than the number of reflections, so just doing the calculation does not give a concise answer! You should try and see if the refinement

Dear Yuri, Why do you think you need 36 reflections per atom when atoms with anisotropic B-factors only have 9 parameters? You can get away with much fewer in many cases especially if you have good restraints. As Ethan points out, a drop in R-free after adding many parameters may be
