This is very uncommon... Can you look at the final plot of R and Rfree against resolution. Sometimes there is an awful hiccup somewhere - ice rings? high resolution data somewhat fictional - low resolution data saturated and also somewhat fictional .. I also check the completeness which is uin

Dear Arko, Is it possible that your Phaser installation is out of sync with your CCP4 installation? You might like to upgrade both. CCP4 6.2.0 includes Phaser 2.3.0. The Phaser EP module for this release correctly writes 'SIGF(+) =' and 'SIGF(-) =' to the LABIN line. Best regards -- David On

Hi, For reasons best known to George, SHELXD calls everything a sulphur. For some phasing programs (no doubt including SHELXE) that doesn't matter, but it does for Phaser. For this reason, the Phaser GUI allows you to substitute the SHELXD atom with your own atom type. If you prefer

Hi List, I would like to build an artificial tetramer from a monomer PBD file. All that I have is the coordinates it self with CRYST/CELL information cards. The artificial 4-fold axis has an arbitrary orientation into the cell. I mean, its not parallel to any crystallographic axis and have to

Hi Yuri, I once saw a figure showing the protein as surface, but instead of having it coloured by atom type or potential, it was shown by percent conservation in the family. Something like red highly conserved, all the way to white, not conserved at all... Now, I assume the figure was done

This is not trivial. Assuming an arbitrary origin, the simplest 4-fold symmetry operation (4-fold rotation) has 5 free parameters (translation along the symmetry axis is irrelevant). The biggest problem is determining the values for these parameters. For example, once you apply the symmetry,

Coot can do this using the Rubik's Cube principle: transform to some state where the operation can be performed, perform the operation, then transform back. So, in coot, I would (1) rotate the molecule to the appropriate orientation (2) move to the appropriate place in the unit cell (3) change
