[ccp4bb] AW: [ccp4bb] Rfree problem

2013-12-10 Thread Herman . Schreuder
Dear Nazia, you give very little details, so it is difficult to give a specific advice. Here are some comments: -How high is your Rfree? Depending on the resolution of your data, an Rfree in the 25-30% range while not good, may still be acceptable. -Are there problems like ice-rings in your

Dear Jens, did you try aimless instead of scala? I understood it is the successor of scala and I would not have thought scala is still being developed. Phil should correct me if I am wrong. Best, Tim P.S.: I hope it will be a long time before the last release of ccp4. ;-) On 12/10/2013 05:05

Dear Jens I'm surprised by this as Scala hasn't changed for quite a long time, as it is now now superseded by Aimless. However, I haven't implemented a reference dataset in Aimless since in the end I decided that it wasn't very useful, so if you find it useful then you will indeed need to use

Dear Careina, you can also apply for beamtime at PETRA-III. You get away with the same size crystals but only require a nano liter drop rather than a few ml of your sample. And you probably get beamtime much quicker because all the equipment is installed and collecting a data set takes very short

Dear Nazia Nasir, it is important to know what you do BETWEEN the refinement cycles. Rfree not moving and R1 dropping is often a sign of overfitting, i.e. you might be adding water molecules into the noise or refine the occupancy of single atoms, e.g. in a ligand or of the water molecules. As a

Indeed nothing is predictable. We can only assume things on what is *planed* and *promised*, and you can take my words on the fact that I will do my best to have it done properly and as close to the expectations as possible. But again, nobody can really predict the future. Finger crossed.

My first guess was also a metal ion. However, a tryptophan as Fred suggested cannot be ruled out. A simple preliminary test is to scroll up the contouring level and look when the contours of the blob disappear. If the contours quickly disappear, you have something disordered or light. If the

Hi Nazia, you did not say what Rwork and Rfree values are... If, for instance, Rwork=20% and Rfree=21% then a situation when Rfree stays the same or even increases and Rwork goes down is totally valid as long as a reasonable Rfree-Rwork gap is maintained. The point is that you need to look at

Priyank, I think it's too far out from the Calpha to be Trp, and also not quite flat enough. The map contains more information than just the shape as to identity. Compare the max peak height of the 2Fo-Fc blob near the Gln to neighboring element heights. Much higher than C/N/O ? Probably
