[ccp4bb] HKL2MAP .sca files...

2014-04-28 Thread Harry Powell
Hi folks

When  I run hkl2map for SAD data using unmerged .sca files produced by Aimless, 
I am invariably bugged by the fact that merged .sca files (from Aimless) have 
the unit cell in the first few lines, but the unmerged files don't - so I have 
to either type in the cell dimensions or (usually) read in the merged file to 
get the cell dimensions then read in the unmerged file to get the data that 
SHELXC really wants.

So I'm wondering - what's the reasoning behind including the cell dimensions in 
the merged file and omitting them in the unmerged file? Would it break anything 
if the cell dimensions were included in the unmerged file?

[ccp4bb] error in starting imosflm

2014-04-28 Thread sreetama das
Dear All,
   Whenever I open up imosflm GUI from the terminal, I get the 
following error:

iMosflm version 7.1.1, 24th March 2014
ipmosflm is not compatible.
Please configure iMosflm with the correct executable.

clicking the Configure button at the bottom of the error message panel closes 
everything.
the following is shown on the  terminal:

MOSFLM_EXEC set to ipmosflm
testing MOSFLM_WISH (/home/*/Software/CCP4/ccp4-6.3.0/bin/wish)
Tcl platform is unix i686 Linux  3.8.0-32-generic
TclTk version from info patchlevel is 8.4.19
Tk windowing system is x11


I had run imosflm successfully just 2 hours before this instance. After that, I 
had enabled the older version of CCP4-6.3 (by sourcing it from the .bashrc 
file)  for sometime to look at the options in molrep (in CCP4-6.3), and then 
re-enabled the newer CCP4-6.4.
Enabling ccp4-6.3 from the .bashrc file  typing imosflm opens up the older 
7.0.1 version.

The option settingsenvironment variables is not working in the newer imosflm 
version now, changing the value in the GUI of the older version of imosflm 
doesn't help either.
I applied the latest CCP4 updates; that doesn't set things right.
 
Please let me know how to re-configure iMosflm to run with ccp4-6.4.

thanks  regards,
sreetama

Hi

When you get this error, and everything has been closed, what do you get if 
you type (in the same terminal window that you tried to start iMosflm) - 

$MOSFLM_EXEC

?

It's plain from the message that 

ipmosflm is not compatible'

that iMosflm is trying to run with an incompatible MOSFLM_EXEC (maybe from the 
old ccp4 6.3 distribution, but there could be other reasons).

ccp4-6.4, (and source the modified .bashrc file in either case) but don't close

Re: [ccp4bb] error in starting imosflm

2014-04-28 Thread Harry Powell
Hi Sreetama

That's the problem - sourcing the old ccp4 6.3 distro has set up MOSFLM_EXEC to 
point to an old copy of ipmosflm that will not run with the latest iMosflm.

   Mosflm version 7.0.9  for Image plate and CCD data 14th May 2012

which cannot be used with iMosflm 7.1.0.

So it looks like there might be an issue with the ccp4 6.4 setup not 
over-writing the environment variable MOSFLM_EXEC as it should. The immediate 
way round this would be to not source ccp4 6.3 in any terminal that you want to 
run iMosflm from.

Can you send me  c...@stfc.ac.uk (*not* to the ccp4bb, please) the output of 

echo $PATH
which $MOSFLM_EXEC
 
(1) before you source ccp4-6.3
(2) after you source ccp4-6.3
(3) after you source ccp4-6.4

So that we can get a clear idea of what is happening to your PATH when you do 
each of these three things.

Re: [ccp4bb] error in starting imosflm

2014-04-28 Thread Ian Tickle
Harry,

I've run into this problem before with other programs when I switch between
v6.3  v6.4.  I think the problem is this code in ccp4.setup-sh:

  if [ `expr :${PATH}: : .*:${dir}:` -eq 0 ]; then
if test $ccp4_first_in_path -eq 1; then
  PATH=${dir}:${PATH}
else
  PATH=${PATH}:${dir}
fi
  fi

Ignore the 'ccp4_first_in_path' business, unless the user has hacked the
script it always takes the 'then' clause of the 'if' so it's actually doing
this:

  if [ `expr :${PATH}: : .*:${dir}:` -eq 0 ]; then
if test $ccp4_first_in_path -eq 1; then
  PATH=${dir}:${PATH}
fi
  fi

So what happens is that the first time you source the setup for v6.4 it
prepends the directories for that version.  If you then source the setup
for v6.3 it prepends the directories for that and you will use the v6.3
executables.  So far so good.  Now what happens if you source the setup for
v6.4 again?  The code above ensures that the v6.4 directory is NOT
prepended again and so it will continue to use v6.3 until you logout  in
again  reset the path.

Cheers

Dear Sreetama, dear Ian,

I avoid sourcing both version 6.3 and 6.4 in the same terminal. If I
need to work with 6.3 I modify my .bashrc from 6.4 to 6.3 and then
open a new terminal to make sure everything refers to v6.3 and vice versa.

 Hi
 
 When you get this error, and everything has been closed, what

 get if you type (in the same terminal window that you tried to
 start iMosflm) -
 
 $MOSFLM_EXEC

 It's plain from the message that
 
 ipmosflm is not compatible'
 
 that iMosflm is trying to run with an incompatible MOSFLM_EXEC
 (maybe
 from the old ccp4 6.3 distribution, but there could be other
 reasons).

Re: [ccp4bb] error in starting imosflm

2014-04-28 Thread David Waterman
Dear all,

For experiments that involve switching between different versions of CCP4
you might like to try the CCP4Dispatchers scripts (see
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/CCP4Dispatchers.html). On a binary install of
ccp4 6.4.0 these will have been generated automatically. For example, on my
Linux machine typing
/path/to/ccp4-6.4.0/share/python/CCP4Dispatchers/bin/imosflm starts imosflm
without anything needed to be sourced in the terminal beforehand. Of course
this is more useful if dispatchers are also generated for the other
versions of CCP4 you want to use. There are some instructions for doing
that in the link above, and the files you need are located in $CCP4/libexec
of a ccp4-6.4.0 install.

Cheers

-- David

 Dear Sreetama, dear Ian,

 I avoid sourcing both version 6.3 and 6.4 in the same terminal. If I
 need to work with 6.3 I modify my .bashrc from 6.4 to 6.3 and then
 open a new terminal to make sure everything refers to v6.3 and vice versa.

 Best,
 Tim

  Harry,
 
  I've run into this problem before with other programs when I switch
  between v6.3  v6.4.  I think the problem is this code in
  ccp4.setup-sh:
 
  if [ `expr :${PATH}: : .*:${dir}:` -eq 0 ]; then if test
  $ccp4_first_in_path -eq 1; then PATH=${dir}:${PATH} else
  PATH=${PATH}:${dir} fi fi
 
  Ignore the 'ccp4_first_in_path' business, unless the user has
  hacked the script it always takes the 'then' clause of the 'if' so
  it's actually doing this:
 
  if [ `expr :${PATH}: : .*:${dir}:` -eq 0 ]; then if test
  $ccp4_first_in_path -eq 1; then PATH=${dir}:${PATH} fi fi
 
  So what happens is that the first time you source the setup for
  v6.4 it prepends the directories for that version.  If you then
  source the setup for v6.3 it prepends the directories for that and
  you will use the v6.3 executables.  So far so good.  Now what
  happens if you source the setup for v6.4 again?  The code above
  ensures that the v6.4 directory is NOT prepended again and so it
  will continue to use v6.3 until you logout  in again  reset the
  path.

  Hi Sreetama
 
  That's the problem - sourcing the old ccp4 6.3 distro has set up
  MOSFLM_EXEC to point to an old copy of ipmosflm that will not run
  with the latest iMosflm.
 
  Mosflm version 7.0.9  for Image plate and CCD data 14th May
  2012
 
  which cannot be used with iMosflm 7.1.0.
 
  So it looks like there might be an issue with the ccp4 6.4 setup
  not over-writing the environment variable MOSFLM_EXEC as it
  should. The immediate way round this would be to not source ccp4
  6.3 in any terminal that you want to run iMosflm from.
 
  Can you send me  c...@stfc.ac.uk (*not* to the ccp4bb, please)
  the output of
 
  echo $PATH which $MOSFLM_EXEC
 
  (1) before you source ccp4-6.3 (2) after you source ccp4-6.3
  (3) after you source ccp4-6.4
 
  So that we can get a clear idea of what is happening to your PATH
  when you do each of these three things.

Re: [ccp4bb] [PyMOL] Farewell

2014-04-28 Thread Sampson, Jared
Jason -

I’d also like to express my appreciation for all you’ve done to benefit the 
PyMOL community.  You have, time and again, proven yourself to be an extremely 
responsive and helpful leader both in developing the software and in enabling 
others to learn to use it.  Like many on these lists, I’m sure, after hearing 
of Warren’s untimely passing 5 years ago, I was saddened of course, but also 
concerned about what would happen to PyMOL without him.  Fortunately, it 
couldn’t have landed in better hands.  I wish you all the best in your new 
endeavor.

Cheers,
Jared

Dear Jason,

thank you so much for you deep commitment and your invaluable contributions to 
PyMOL and the PyMOL community. You assumed responsibility for PyMOL and managed 
to give it a new home at Schrödinger. We are sorry to see you leave and will 
truly miss you here.

To me personally, you have been a great mentor and guide and I can hardly 
enumerate what I learned from you. I owe you deep gratitude.

It is my honour to now take the lead on PyMOL and serve the community and our 
sponsors as best as I can. The PyMOL team at Schrödinger is strongly dedicated

Greetings PyMOLers and CCP4ers worldwide,

It has been my great pleasure to serve the PyMOL community both in a volunteer 
and professional capacity for the past decade. I have recently been given an 
offer I can't refuse—to follow one of my dreams—helping lead technology and 
science at a new startup. March 30th marked my last day at Schrödinger and 
supporting PyMOL.

Because of my great fondness for PyMOL and its community, I will continue to 
operate the PyMOLWiki until I find it a suitable home. I started the PyMOLWiki 
in 2005 and since then it's been visited over 15,289,590 times! (If you would 
like to sponsor or host the wiki feel free to email me.) Now I can't imagine 
the PyMOL community without it.

Last, I am truly humbled to have followed in the footsteps of Warren DeLano. He 
was an amazing man whose ideas and actions have touched the lives of millions, 
whether they know it or not. He is missed.

It's been great fun. I wish you all the best.

Cheers,

-- Jason

[ccp4bb] TEV protease alternatives and Proteases which leave little on new C-term

2014-04-28 Thread Keller, Jacob
Dear Crystallographers (this may be off-topic, depending on whom you ask...)

A: Can anyone recommend new improved alternatives to the usual suspects for 
proteases (TEV, thrombin, enterokinase, etc.)? I've seen some literature about 
SUMO- and NEDD8-dependent enzymes, but those apparently require the whole 
protein domain to be in the construct for cleavage to happen, rather than just 
a short sequence motif. Further, I'd be curious whether there be drawbacks to 
using the various new breeds that might not be mentioned in the original 
publications thereon.

B: While I have seen several proteases that leave behind only 1 aa on the new 
n-terminus of the target, I've yet to come across proteases that leave behind 
very few residues on the new c-terminus, which would be very helpful for 
tagging cleanly the c-terminus of proteins. Do such enzymes exist, and if so, 
are there particularly good ones? And if not, I wonder why proteases usually 
require more sequence on the n-terminal side of the scissile bond?

All the best,

Jacob Keller

Re: [ccp4bb] TEV protease alternatives and Proteases which leave little on new C-term

2014-04-28 Thread David Blum
Dear Jacob,
We have been using factor XA for several years for tag removal of the
proteins we express in the facility.  Factor XA does not leave an overhang,
cutting after an IEGR sequence.  It can be quite expensive though so we are
looking into methods to purify it from bovine plasma.

[ccp4bb] Problem with Rfactor

2014-04-28 Thread Sudarshan Murthy
Dear All,

I am very new to the field of crystallography, I have a few questions which
are very basic and getting input from this forum would help me a lot.

Firstly I am trying to solve a structure using MR  Molrep. In the result
the Rfactors are really high how do I reduce the same?? ..When I tried with
Phaser I didnt get any solution at all.. Will der be a problem with the
space group?? like the model is in monoclinic and the data which I have is
processed in hexagonal.

Secondly while using hexagonal space group should I search for only one
monomer in Molrep??

These are very basic questions if anybody could help me out with this , I
would be very happy for the same.
