It will not be able to guess the number og H atoms associated with the RNA 
so the answer will be a bit out.

My memory is not as good as it used to be, but I think that I indeed got 
the number of 140 cubic Angstroms per amino-acid from Kevin. It has 
worked fine ever since, and is how hkl2map calculates the solvent 
content for proteins.

The reason protein-nucleic acids is an extra category in mattprob is largely

In addition the partial specific volumes for protein (0.74 cm3/g) and nucleic

Dear James,

I do not know such a tool, but you can use 140A^3/a.a. and 380A^3/base to 
calculate the solvent content by hand.

Re: [ccp4bb] Matthews coeff. from model

2012-03-12 Thread Michael Thompson
Is there a difference in the psv between DNA and RNA? I assumed (possibly 
incorrectly) that they would be very close if not exactly the same? Is mattprob 
more applicable to protein-DNA complexes than Protein-RNA complexes?

Thanks for the insight,

Mike

Re: [ccp4bb] Matthews coeff. from model

2012-03-12 Thread Michael Thompson
James,

For a detailed analysis of Matthews coefficients (Matthews probabilities), you 
can use this web-based tool:

http://www.ruppweb.org/Mattprob/

There is a pull-down menu to select the sample type, and one choice is 
"protein-DNA complex." Perhaps someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't 
imagine the results would be very different for protein-DNA vs. protein-RNA.

Also, if you already have a crystallographic model, as you say you do, then you 
know how many molecules are in the ASU and you could calculate it by hand :

Vm = (volume of unit cell)/(molecular weight of all unit cell contents)

Good luck,

Mike
