[ccp4bb] Tenure track position at Vanderbilt Univ.

2021-08-30 Thread Jackson, Lauren Parker
Dear colleagues,

I wanted to highlight a tenure track job that may appeal to structural 
biologists, biochemists, and/or biophysicists. Happy to answer any questions 
you may have.

Best,
Lauren
Vanderbilt University invites applications for a tenure-track, faculty position 
in evolutionary biochemistry at the Assistant Professor rank. Investigators 
that apply experimental, engineering, and/or computational approaches to 
understand a) how proteins or other structural and catalytic features of cells 
evolve or b) how metabolic pathways evolve are particularly encouraged to 
apply. The selected candidate will join the Department of Biological Sciences 
(https://as.vanderbilt.edu/biosci/) and the Vanderbilt Evolutionary Studies 
Initiative (https://www.vanderbilt.edu/evolution/), with opportunities for a 
dual appointment in the Department of Chemistry 
(https://www.vanderbilt.edu/chemistry/) and affiliation with the Department of 
Biochemistry (https://medschool.vanderbilt.edu/biochemistry/) and the Center 
for Structural Biology (https://www.vanderbilt.edu/csb/).
The candidate will be expected to develop an independent laboratory research 
program that complements current departmental and institutional strengths in 
evolution, biochemistry, genome science, biophysics, cell and molecular 
biology, chemical biology, synthetic chemistry, drug discovery, computational 
biology, host-microbe interactions, and neurobiology. As a new faculty member, 
the candidate will play an integral role within the trans-institutional 
Vanderbilt Evolutionary Studies Initiative and will benefit from collaborations 
with diverse internationally recognized programs, centers, and institutes. Top 
candidates will demonstrate excellence in research, highly effective teaching 
and mentoring to undergraduate and graduate students, and a desire to 
contribute to a collaborative academic community. Applicants must have earned a 
Ph.D. no later than August 16, 2022, and preferably one or more years of 
postdoctoral research experience. Applicants should submit: (a) a letter of 
interest, (b) full curriculum vitae, (c) a statement of research interests, (d) 
a statement of teaching philosophy, and (e) a statement of equity, diversity, 
and inclusion directly to http://apply.interfolio.com/93130. Applicants should 
arrange for at least three letters of recommendation to be sent to the same 
link. Completed applications must be received no later than October 15, 2021.
Vanderbilt University is an Equal Opportunity/ Affirmative Action employer, 
embraces diversity and inclusion, and has a strong institutional commitment to 
recruiting and retaining an academically and culturally diverse community of 
faculty and to teaching students who are diversified by gender, race/ethnicity, 
and other social locations. Minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, 
and members of other underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. 
Vanderbilt University ranks in the top 15 National Universities and is located 
in the heart of Music City, Nashville, TN. Nashville is consistently rated as a

Hi Robbie

I also use them quite regularly (less so coordconv, although I do use it), 
typically from the command line

Thanks, Alejandro

I use pdbset, coordconv and sftools a LOT.  Usually for things no other 
programs do, like converting to fractional coordinates, and performing 
math operations on mtz data. Always from command line scripts.

Dear Eleanor,

Thanks for pointing out that CCP4 FreeRflag selects the test set in the highest 
possible symmetry for the crystal class! I didn't know that.

The following sentences (which are somewhat difficult to understand for me) in 
https://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/freerflag.html appear to document that:
"The FreeR_flag is randomly and uniformly distributed reflexion-by-reflexion, 
but, additionally, if the keyword NOSYM is not set, all reflections that are 
equivalent by the symmetry of the point group of the twin lattice (assuming the 
data is twinned), obtain the same flag. This includes both the possibility of 
merohedral and pseudomerohedral twinning. In the latter case, the obliquity 
parameter can be set using the keyword OBL."

I wonder since which CCP4 version (or date) this is the default behaviour.

best wishes,
Kay

2021-08-30 Thread Tim Gruene
Dear Robbie,

I don't use ccp4 regularly (since our structures are mainly small
molecule structures), but when I do, I often use pdbset. I use it to
remove het-atoms, or side chains, or water molecules, or reset the
B-value.

I also use sftools. I have a script for calculating Rcomplete with
refmac. This script makes use of sftools in the preparation of the
mtz-file.

I use these tools, because they are command line tools - much faster
than GUI based versions.

Best wishes,
Tim

Dear Andrew,

what I meant is "Everything else being equal, bad data result in a larger 
Rfree-Rwork gap than good data". Of course the gap also depends on the 
resolution, and other factors.

 From http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/tutorials/twinning.html
 
 "When a test set is designed, care must be taken that free and work
 reflections are not related by a twin law. The R-free set assignment in
 phenix.refine and phenix.reflection_file_converter is designed with this

 I believe this applies to all datasets, just in case there may be twinning.

Back to FreeR factors - Phenix, and I believe FreeRflag now select FreeRs
in the highest possible symmetry for the crystal class - eh P6/mmm for a
trigonal crystal, and expand the set to fill the actual space group. This
means the Free R assignment is suitable if later the crystal symmetry is

Dear Kay and Jon,

I cannot remember Ian Tickles original posting on this (assuming that it was 
made to the bulletin board), but surely the resolution of the data is also a 
very important factor in the danger of over-fitting. The lower the resolution, 
the worse the experimental data to refined parameter ratio becomes, and the 
more likely it is to obtain an overfitted model, regardless of how accurate 
that data might be. Perhaps this is why Kay said “generally I agree that the 
accuracy of the data is inversely related to the danger of overfitting”, or did 
you have something else in mind Kay?

Hi Jon,

generally I agree that the accuracy of the data is inversely related to the 
danger of overfitting, and that selection in shells is not necessary.
But if twinning is suspected, as here, and/or a choice between high and low 
symmetry spacegroup has to be made, one has to make sure that
potentially symmetry-related reflections are _either_ labelled as test _or_ as 
work; a mixture will artificially down-bias Rfree.

Selecting the test set in the highest possible symmetry (which is what Phenix 
does) is a good solution. This test set should be symmetry-expanded when trying 
the low-symmetry spacegroup (if one wants to compare R values). 
The latter is not necessary when working with thin shells - but that has other 
disadvantages.

best wishes,
Kay

[ccp4bb] Joint iNEXT-Discovery and Instruct-ERIC call for access: protein production and protein characterisation or quantification of interactions

2021-08-30 Thread a . perrakis
Dear all,

The deadline for the the call for access to experimental facilities, 
integrating protein production services from Instruct-ERIC facilities and 
protein characterisation or quantification of interactions by the biophysics 
facilities of iNEXT-Discovery, is approaching.

10th of September 2021.

As a quick reminder, our experts can help you produce the proteins (and 
complexes) that you are interested in and characterise the quality of these 
samples, by general assays (eg stability) or specific assays (eg ligand or DNA 
binding). If these look interesting, you can also access other services of 
Instruct-ERIC and iNEXT-Discovery to study further the structure and dynamics 
of these macromolecules (but these experiments should be included as parr of 
the initial plan, but can come later).

Access costs will be covered by Instruct-ERIC and iNEXT-Discovery, subject to 
successful external peer review. Exceptionally, we are considering and 
supporting also applications from non-Instruct member countries.

Please apply at:  https://joint.inext-discovery.eu/submit-proposal/

We look forward receiving your applications -

with best regards from the Instruct-ERIC and iNEXT-Discovery teams,

Tassos
