Re: [ccp4bb] strange P21 cell dimensions

2011-02-18 Thread Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve
Hi Peter, I have a P21 case with some strange ratios in the cell dimensions : a, b=a, c=1.5a, 90, 105, 90. The native patterson shows a strong peak (40% of origin) at (x,0.5,0) indicating some pseudo symmetry. Such cell dimension and peak prompted me to think that the actual space group is

some water molecules have Bfactors at 0 B-factors refining towards zero may be an indication of heavier molecules, e.g. SO4. You have to model them manually. Ralf

Hi Gloria, My hobby is space group symmetry. My interest phenix development. so I can't imagine a protein crystallographer would ever need to apply the modulation function to a protein atom that happened to be on one. That's true. Protein residues don't have internal symmetry, therefore

Hi Bernhard, The bad news is (so much for yesterday): there is no FORTRAN compiler for Android (sorry no multi-solution SHELXD applet :-/ ) There is good news: http://cci.lbl.gov/fable/ It'll need a few tweaks to fully support the SHELX programs but I don't think it is difficult. Ralf

Re: [ccp4bb] how to refine RNA with two phosphate at 5' by phenix

2010-04-02 Thread Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve
In the most recent phenix.refine version, the links should be automatic if the backbone atom names are consistent with the naming for standard RNA residues. Let me know if you're having problems with phenix 1.6 or 1.6.1. Ralf - Original Message From: William G. Scott

Re: [ccp4bb] chiral volume target value

2009-04-04 Thread Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve
Hi Bernhard, In phenix.refine, the chiral volume is computed from the ideal bond lengths and angles, using the unit cell trick pointed out already by George: uc = uctbx.unit_cell( [bond.value_dist for bond in bonds] + [angle.value_angle for angle in angles]) if

Yet another alternative: you can do this with iotbx.pdb. Loop over the hierarchy in the standard manner (http://cctbx.sourceforge.net/sbgrid2008/tutorial.html, v1_loop_over_atoms.py) and insert chain.id = new_chain_id, rg.resseq = new_resseq into the loops. The only trick is to add the

I think CCP4 gives you the option to include the Python sources (v 2.4). That would be better than to mess with the system python. BTW: I've fixed the problems you are seeing a long time ago, even before Python 2.5 was released. In the next CCP4 release it'll probably work with the system python.

The Intel Fortran compiler produces code that is indeed significantly faster than code generated with g77 or gfortran, but recent g++ (and most likely gcc) versions consistently produce code that is at least as faster or faster than code generated with Intel's C++ compiler. Bottom line: it
