Re: [ccp4bb] Help with preparation of the ligand coordinates/restraints needed

Dear Rafal,

Acedrg could not handle with ligands containing metal elements at the
moment. When your input file was a mol file, acedrg gave that information.
For other kind of input format, acedrg should give the same information.
We are checking why it produced those confusing info.

The developments are under way to make acedrg capable of handling with
ligands containing atoms of metal elements.

Sorry about your situations.

Best wishes,

Fei


Dear all,

Thank you very much for all your messages. Unfortunately, I'm still on
the same place, as yesterday...

First of all, I prepared a pdb/cif file of the ligand based on CCDC
entry 1176355 containing FESAN molecule. Also, I prepared SMILES file
based on SMILES of CB5 ligand (COSAN) available on PDB, where I simply
switched Co into Fe atom.

-> When I tried use acedrg with SMILES, I received an error info:

Input file: FSM.smi
Output dictionary file: C:/data_cryst/hsa_fesan_04/hsa_fesan_04_27.cif
Output coordinate file: C:/data_cryst/hsa_fesan_04/hsa_fesan_04_27.pdb
workMode :  12
Can not generate a molecule from the input SMILES string!
Check your SMILES or report the bug
Can not get the element symbols of atoms. Check input file format
Error : The job stops because of errors

-> When I tried use acedrg with *pdb/*cif files I received no output
files:

Input file: fsm.cif

Output coordinate file: C:/data_cryst/hsa_fesan_04/hsa_fesan_04_21.pdb

   WARNING: there is no metal chirality for:Fe1
   WARNING: coords are not good enough to create Chirality

I attached the PDB file containing the ligand of interest. From my
knowledge, it looks correct, but maybe I'm wrong. Have you any idea,
where is a problem?

[ccp4bb] Postdoctoral position at the University of the Free State, South Africa

2022-06-07 Thread Carmien Tolmie
Good morning everyone,

The *Biocatalysis and Structural Biology* group within the *Department of
Microbiology and Biochemistry (University of the Free State, South Africa)* is
looking for a post-doctoral candidate interested in biocatalysis and
structural biology.

We are interested in understanding the structure-function relationship of
various biocatalysts in oxyfunctionalization reactions.

We are looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic candidates with a
background in biochemistry, enzymology, biotechnology, or related fields
and with an interest in biocatalysis and structural biology. Previous
experience in molecular biology, protein purification and enzyme
characterization is desired. Knowledge and experience in X-ray
crystallography will be advantageous. We offer close supervision in a
stimulating and interdisciplinary atmosphere.
Applicants should hold a PhD degree conferred no more than 3 years ago.
Applications should include a cover letter with a statement of your
research interests, a CV and the names and contact details of two
references. Successful candidates will be required to start as soon as
possible.

*Please apply via e-mail to *

*Prof. Dirk Opperman at oppe...@ufs.ac.za .*

Best wishes,
Carmien Tolmie

Although it may not be apparent, there has been a lot of work going on
in Acedrg development regarding Boron.

One cannot say the same for Coot though and I can reproduce the
behaviour reported by Rafa Dolot. If/when I can fix it, it will be
available in 0.9.8.4.

Paul.

In case you don't have a cif file for the ligand, I would load the
