Re: [ccp4bb] Sulphate or phosphate?

Not very elegant way of doing what you want but as a last resort I used distance criteria. P-O distance is 1.6A, S-O distance is 1.4A. Provided your coordinate error is in the range of 0.1A you may cautiously suggest one or the other. However, it may be impossible to prove that what you see is n

If the site is not really selective, I would model the one with the highest concentration. If your data are really good an anomalous. Map would help. Cheers, Robbie Sent from my Windows 10 device From: CCP4 bulletin board on behalf of David Schuller Se

Re: [ccp4bb] Sulphate or phosphate?

2018-07-31 Thread Roger Rowlett
You might be able to distinguish sulfate from phosphate by examining hydrogen bonding partners. Phosphate can donate one or two hydrogen bonds at neutral pH values, whereas sulfate is usually only a hydrogen bond acceptor. (Having said that, we have published a structure where a sulfate clearly int

How can one distinguish between a sulphate or phosphate in an electron density map? Both are present in the mother liquor, and resolution is in the range of 1.75 - 2.25 A -- === All Things Serve the Beam ==

Hi Herman, Whatcheck does his as well for the metals. Chloride is not highly coordinated, likes nitrogens, and has long coordination lengths (over 3A). Sulfate gives huge blobs and sticks out in difference density or ridiculously low B-factors. HTH, Robbie Sent from my Windows 10 device _

Hi Herman, out of the top of my head I think there is an option in Coot to check if the water is highly coordinated and might be an ion and I think there was also a function in Phenix to check for ions. Cheers Christian schrieb am Di., 31. Juli 2018, 14:39: > Dear BB, > > > > I know it has be

Dear BB, I know it has been discussed some time ago, but a google search did not come up with anything useful. I need a program which analyzes the bound waters and suggests whether a particular water might be a chloride, calcium, sulfate, sodium or something else. Preferably a program that can
