Dear Frank, I would only add to Randy's excellent suggestions a commendation of Max Perutz's book Is Science necessary http://www.amazon.com/Is-Science-Necessary-Essays-Scientists/dp/0192861182 It includes global longevity and food production issues and improvements. Of course these are wider

[ccp4bb] 3D graphics linux compatibility question

2013-09-17 Thread Emmanuel Saridakis
Dear BB, We are still a bit confused about compatibility of graphics cards with 3D Coot/PyMol in Linux: (a) In previous CCP4bb discussions, it was stated that only Quadro cards are compatible with Linux setups. But could someone tell me what the minimum standard really is: is it Quadro FX380,

(a) In previous CCP4bb discussions, it was stated that only Quadro cards are compatible with Linux setups. But could someone tell me what the minimum standard really is: is it Quadro FX380, 2000, 3800 or something else ? The nVidia site lists Quadro 3700 and 3800 as the two lowest (cheapest)

Sorry to contradict, But the mmCIF data model certainly does not seem to require hkl unique within the reflection data. Like CIF the mmCIF formalism has been developed to allow a complete description of a diffraction experiment and the data arising from it. There is a full description at

Hi Emmanuel Here we have tried the nvidia Quadro 2000 with two different monitors (both with the built-in IR emitter, thus with synching through DVI): ASUS VG278HR and BenQ XL2420TX. The setup works perfectly well in Linux, both pymol and coot work without issues. Unfortunately we have no

Re: [ccp4bb] What kind of reflection data to deposit to PDB

2013-09-17 Thread Miller, Mitchell D.
Hi Martyn, I too was puzzled by the statement that unmerged data cannot be handled properly as part of a PDB deposition. We have deposited the unmerged original index intensities for the refinement wavelength (and for additional wavelengths used for phasing in the case of MAD) since 2005.

Hi all, Sorry for contributing to the noise as well as the signal in the discussion. To clarify: It is not an issue of not having a place to put the data as we certainly have definitions for this and for intermediate phasing data sets. You cannot simply put the data into the current REFLN

[ccp4bb] Code to handle the syntax of (mm)CIF data correctly.

2013-09-17 Thread Peter Keller
Dear all, At Global Phasing, we have seen that there are still issues with the way that different applications deal with mmCIF-format data, and this continues to cause problems for users. I believe that part of the reason for this is that the underlying syntax (the STAR format) is not

Thanks to all who engaged with my little puzzle. The weekend is over and I'm not exactly closer to fitting the right pieces into the density. Benzamidine was a good suggestion for the first bit of density. However, I didn't use that inhibitor during purification. The second set of blobs
