[ccp4bb] problem with refmac and xloggraph

2014-05-21 Thread Armando Albert
Dear all, does anyone experience a problem viewing refmac results with Log Graph? The window appears and disappears in less than one second and this is the output on the terminal window: Error in startup script: syntax error in expression 10 11 12 + 12: extra tokens at end of expression

This is fixed now if you re-install updates and Armando - this is crude but if you edit the log file and replace Rfactor v. resln :N:1,6,7 11 12with Rfactor v. resln :N:1,6,7,11,12 it will work. On 21 May 2014 10:20, Armando Albert xalb...@iqfr.csic.es wrote: Dear all, does anyone

Re: [ccp4bb] Reprocess data with new resolution cutoff?

2014-05-21 Thread Kay Diederichs
Hi Thomas, I too would use the data out to 2.55A, as you did. The main point is that the 2.45A model produces a worse Rfree (30.16%) at 2.55A than the 2.55A model does (30.03%). And this tendency is confirmed for the 2.35A model, so there's no point in going beyond 2.55A. best, Kay

Re: [ccp4bb] Reprocess data with new resolution cutoff?

2014-05-21 Thread Eleanor Dodson
An obvious point - remember refinement exists to give you the best possible model so you need to look at the maps. And I guess that has to be a subjective assessment - if you SEE anything more clearly at the higher resolution - I would use that data, but if the maps do not improve discard it..

Dear V.   are you sure these are crystalline? - I have had similar growth from 'spherulites' that I thought was promising. But then when I went in with a needle to break them for seeding, it turned out they were fibrous not crystalline. This made me think they were a product of denatured

Hi Venkat, I think there are maybe a few things you could do. - Have you tried to lower the concentration of your protein? Maybe these clusters appear like so because there is little time for better ordered growth. If you decrease the protein concentration, supersaturation will occur slower and

Dear All, I experienced an odd observation with some philosophical consequences (here we go again) When I run a model obtained from a perhaps popular but until further examination unnamed server, and validate through coot/validate, the model kills probe/reduce which normally works great.

the R-factor is a complicated thing that depends on things like weighting factors and solvent model - several things that are not part of your model and that need to be adjusted by the refinement program during refinement. I think a more accurate is are not part of your ATOMIC model.

I2 and C2 are different settings of the same group. The official IUCr convention is to use the one which gives the beta angle closer to 90 degrees. As far as I know all programs should now be able to use the I2 setting, but if it worries you, you can reindex to C2 Phil On 21 May 2014, at
