Re: [ccp4bb] handling crystals in volatile solvents

2015-06-16 Thread Patrick Shaw Stewart
Hi Len In every case that I know of this problem has been solved by working under oil. The oil becomes saturated with the volatiles, and it prevents crystals from doing backstroke, breaststroke or front crawl during harvesting. The most convenient way to get going is to dispense the wells

Dear Axel and Paul, Thank you for reopening the Rfree and TEST set discussion. The concept of Rfree and TEST set play an important role crystallography. When you introduced them back in 1992, Rfree was the first systematic method of structure validation. Its advantage is that it can use data

Appu, You will have to edit your .tcshrc (startup) file to point to the correct setup script with a line like this: source /usr/local/xtal/ccp4-6.5/ccp4.setup-csh If you are using a different shell, e.g. bash, you will have to edit the appropriate startup file, e.g. .bashrc. You will

What is wrong with using Rfree until the very late stages of refinement, then alternating refinements with all reflections and Rfree reflections while not introducing more refinement parameters. This way you would get a structure and e-map based on all the data while ensuring that the data has

[ccp4bb] Following up on fragment hits

Hi all, I have started generating hits from a fragment library that has been screened by SPR, thermal shift and crystallography. We have a few potential allosteric binders that would, for selectivity reasons, be quite interesting if they show modulation of enzyme activity. I am thinking about

Hi Mo, One first caveat I would say - SAR by catalogue can be very disappointing. In spite of the many millions of compounds available to buy, it is unlikely there will be a nice set of SAR a) based on the chemotype you have and b) exploring the SAR you would like to explore. So for this

[ccp4bb] X-ray photolysis of azido groups

2015-06-16 Thread Barry Finzel
Someone once told me they believed that azido functional groups (R-N=N=N) were subject to X-ray photolysis and may not remain intact during crystallography. I can certainly find MANY examples of azido groups that appear NOT to be photolyzed in macromolecular structures in the PDB, beginning with
