Re: [ccp4bb] Twinned Data - more information

2012-10-20 Thread Kay Diederichs
Dear Iris,

just to add to Fred's posting: since XDS Version June 2, 2008 re-indexing is no 
longer necessary if REFERENCE_DATA_SET is used - XDS then does the re-indexing 
automatically in the CORRECT step. This makes it very easy to avoid the problem 
of alternative indexing in space groups like P3x, P4x , P6x and others.
You should also inspect the top of XSCALE.LP. In case you forgot to use 
REFERENCE_DATA_SET and the wrong setting was picked by chance, you probably see 
some very small correlation coefficients (they should be 0.9, say). There may 
also be a warning message to that effect.

HTH,

Kay

Well, the first thing I note is that P6(3) is a polar space group.

Hence what I would do myself is the following:

take your crystal 'number 1' (as a reference);

take the results of XDS for crystal number 2 (XDS_ASCII.HKL) and reindex it;

try to see which of the original XDS_ASCII or the reindexed XDS_ASCII 
file gives you the lowest R-sym values, the one with the lowest Rsym's 
has consistent indexing with your 'reference' crystal 1 - normally 
somewhere in the XDS output (forgot where) there is a reindexing card 
mentioned

repeat with crystal 3;

Then you know what is consistent w.r.t. crystal 1. So you take the 3 
files that are appropriate and repeat the XSCALE scaling.

It may very well be that you do not have any twinning but that you have 
not consistently indexed the 3 data sets. Unless you have already taken 
care of consistent indexing but didn't say (write) it.

HTH,

Fred.

  I tried Xtriage and got the following:

 merohedral twin operator

 H-test: 0.439
 Maximum Likelihood Method: 0.457

 I have a model with the sequence of my protein and did Phaser_MR 
 (Z-score around 4... I know that this is quiet bad...). This solution 
 I refined with phenix.refinement using the twin law from Xtriage. 
 Rfree is around 0.44 best but the model looks weird...

[ccp4bb] NMR of Membrane Proteins Synergia Project betwenn PSI, Biocenter and ETH Zürich

2012-10-20 Thread Prof. Gebhard Schertler
Please pass this on to exeptional students with a strong talent for structural 
biology:


In the frame of a SNF Synergia Grant with the NMR Groups at ETH Zürich and the 
Biocentre in Basel we are looking for a PhD student for Solution NMR of 
Membrane proteins.

Our laboratories at the Paul Scherrer institute and ETH have extensive 
experience in the expression purification and crystallization of membrane 
proteins and the NMR groups are all internationally leading NMR developers. 
Therefor we think we are able to provide an absolutely unique environment for 
this research project. 

Please contact Gebhard Schertler directly if you are interested  
(gebhard.schert...@psi.ch).

[ccp4bb] CCP4 update 6.3.0 008

2012-10-20 Thread Andrey Lebedev
Dear CCP4 Users,

A CCP4 update has just been released, consisting of the following changes:

*  Arp/Warp: fixes problem with overwriting modules.def file by other 
updates; enables Arp/Warp tasks in ccp4i (OS X and Linux)
*  Phaser: added DLL files missing in the previous update (Windows)
*  Pointless: fixed option Choose solution ... by Space group name for 
non-standard settings, e.g. P21 2 21 (all platforms)
*  Zanuda: fixed problem with MSE atoms defined as HETATM in pdb-files (all 
platforms)

The easiest way to obtain the update is to install the CCP4 update 
clienthttp://www.ccp4.ac.uk/download/update_manual.html, if you have not done 
so already. Note that autoupdates will work correctly only with CCP4 release 
6.3.0, therefore upgrade if necessary. Report bugs to 
c...@stfc.ac.ukmailto:c...@stfc.ac.uk.

Many thanks for using CCP4,

Andrey Lebedev
