[ccp4bb] how to calculate error for DNA parameters

2009-08-12 Thread melody lin
Dear all, I have a protein-DNA complex structure at 2 A resolution and I used 3DNA to calculate the step and base-pair parameters. I am wondering how to estimate the error for e.g. buckle angle, slide, etc. given the estimated coordinate error for this data set? Thank you very much! Best,

[ccp4bb] problem restraining angles formed between cysteine and a ligand

2009-03-06 Thread Melody Lin
Dear all, I am refining a structure that has a ligand which contains a thiol group and forms a disulfide with the cysteine. I created the cif file with the Dundee server for the ligand and modified the BME-cysteine link cif file to fit my ligand. I combined these two cif files and feed it to

[ccp4bb] refining nucleic acid structures: Refmac or CNS?

2008-09-03 Thread Melody Lin
Dear all, I was refining complex structures with a DNA oligo that have some noncanonical bent regions in the middle, the resolutions are fairly good, around 1.8-2.2A. I used both CNS and Refmac. I found (not surprisingly) that with Refmac, I got a lot of unusual sugar puckers like C1'-exo that is

[ccp4bb] a question about CNS composite omit map

2008-04-02 Thread Melody Lin
Dear all, Sorry this might be another naive, non-ccp4 question~ I was trying to make a composite omit map with CNS, but during torsion angle dynamics, it always reports an argument out of range error like the following: -- step= 5 at 0.02000 ps

[ccp4bb] question about processing data

2008-03-17 Thread Melody Lin
Hi all, I have always been wondering... for a data set diffracting to say 2.15Angstrom but in the highest resolution shell ( 2.25-2.15) the completeness is 74%, should I use merge all the data and call it a 2.15 A dataset or I should cut the data set to say 2.25 A where the highest resolution

. Redundancy 3. I / Sigma 4. R merge statistics Not just one of them. If you are pushing it too far, you will see the effect in later refinement step.. With 74% completeness, how does the other parameters look like? HTH, Partha On Mon, Mar 17, 2008 at 10:06 AM, Melody Lin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote

Dear all, Thank you very much for the useful suggestions! I definitely learned a lot from these discussions. Now looking back at my datasets, I think the incompleteness likely results from high mosaicity (1.009) and anisotropy of the crystal. Detector is square, but the distance is short enough

[ccp4bb] normal protein in detergent?

2008-03-14 Thread Melody Lin
Dear all, sorry for the off-topic and possibly very naive question- but does anyone know what happens if normal protein is put in detergent-containing aqueous solution? how much detergent can a regular protein tolerate? I was trying to search literature but couldn't find any... Thank you greatly
