Jeremy, apparently I was unclear (and possibly moving off-topic) since I got other emails off list about this. I did not mean to imply that I would use Ramachandran restraints to fix a register error since this obviously needs to be addressed in real space. Rather, inspection of the Ramachandran

No, the question seems to be slightly different. While one can use either CCP4's SSM or GESAMT to superpose 2 dimers, these algorithms would balance RMSD between both chains and produce something optimal for both chains. What is required, however, is optimal superposition on one pair of chains

Dear CCP4bbers, If I remember correctly you can do this in LSQMAN (EXPLICIT superimposition command if I remember well): the superimposition is made between residues of chain A2 onto those of chain A1, then you apply the rotation/translation to all the A2B2 dimer and moleman gives you the rmsd

Hi Adam, The diffraction improved from 8 Angstrom to 2.6 Angstrom. But, I had also removed the His-tag from the protein, so I am not sure how much was the role of this step and how much was it because of the addition of DTT. Two variables in one experiment :). -Gyan On Wed, Feb 25, 2015 at

I think the Ramachandranplot should be used in the refinement and rebuilding process - a Ramachandran outlier is a flag that that region of the model needs a closer look, and the fix may be more complicated than simply rotating a peptide. Maybe a C-beta is pointing the wrong way, maybe there is a

To give a short practical rather than a lengthy philosophical answer: - in real space: you can try Ramachandran restraints or secondary structure restraints -- indeed, both can be switched on in Coot in the refinement and regularisation parameters window (R/RC button in the top right corner).

Hi, Sorry, can’t take the credit for that! The names that come to mind are Gerard Kleywegt and Alwyn Jones. I’ve actually said in the past that, the more criteria you add to optimising your model, the less likely that you can satisfy all the criteria and still have a wrong model! But I

I saw several excellent remarks about Ramachandran plots come by, but the main points still seem missing, I think. Phi and psi are not fixed parameters with limited freedom like angles, bond lengths or planarities. By keeping a certain bond lengths restrained at, for example, 1.543+/-0.021

Hello Ulrike, In addition to other answers, one of the more esoteric (but surprisingly effective) ways to destroy the protein 'skin' on drops is to add a tiny bit of Trypsin solution. Crystals generally tend not to be affected, but (at least in my experience) the protein skin dissolves within a
