Re: [ccp4bb] I want to dock/align an EM envelope (MRC) into a DM averaging and/or solvent envelope (MSK).

There are ways - the EM map is your model equiv to a PDB file and you need to generate a set of structure factors from your map - the EM density is put into a large box and transformed by a program such as sfall. . Is that possible for you? There are problems of scaling etc etc.. On 15

First Q - how good is your data - is there no possibility of twinning or any other distraction? Second Q - To compare those results properly we need to know how the P2 and the P222 cell align - are the cell dimensions more or less the same? But the 2 plots you attach (and the list above) show

I guess you have checked that P43212 is a better match than P41212? (And that you are running REFMAC against an mtz file with the same symmetry as the input PDB - you may need to change the SG in the mtz header by hand. mtzutils hklin P41212.mtz hklout P43212.mtz symm P43212 end Or vice versa..

Dear CCP4 Users, In Phenix.xtriage and phaser, the analyses of the Patterson function reveals a significant off-origin peak that is 23.25 % of the origin peak, indicating pseudo translational symmetry at frac. cord. vector 0.0000.5000.022 . It did not indicate any twinng.

Dear Monica, strong 222 rotational symmetry plus translational symmetry would give 8 molecules in the unit cell. (4 in the a.u. in P2x and 2 in case of P2x2x2x). (test ALL options!). Do you have models for both the ligand binding domain, or only for the DNA binding domain? You have to search

[ccp4bb] Fix cell dimensions

2013-11-18 Thread Niu Tou
Dear All, Does any one know how to strictly fix the cell dimensions during data processing? In HKL2000 there is only a keyword to define the longest vector. In XDS there is a option to input cell parameters, but sometimes the program would not follow the input values and switch back to the one it

Re: [ccp4bb] Fix cell dimensions

2013-11-18 Thread Andrew Leslie
Dear Niu, It depends on which part of processing you are referring to, i.e. the indexing step or the integration step. In MOSFLM there is no way to enforce cell dimensions during indexing, but providing there is an indexing solution that has cell dimensions close to the ones

2013-11-18 Thread Andrew Leslie
Dear Niu, OK, I did not connect this with your earlier Email. If it is simply a case of halving one of the cell dimensions, this can be done with iMosflm by editing the cell dimensions that come from the indexing step. This will not affect the positions of the predictions, but

Re: [ccp4bb] Fix cell dimensions

Hi Niu - In HKL2000, you should first get an indexing solution with the 40 A axis, as you have done previously. Then go to the tab of the GUI labeled Macros. In the bottom row, Immediate Execution, you enter the following: unit cell a b c alpha beta gamma where you replace the words

[ccp4bb] distinguish ligand binding sites within a protein

Hi all, I got the crystal structure of a transcription factor, and every monomer binds two molecules of the same ligand in different binding pockets. And I also did the ITC experiment, titrating the ligand into the protein, and got a U-shaped curve. The binding affinity for the first binding site

Dear Wei Shi, is your ligand a small molecule? If it is a small molecule, I would try to computationally dock the small molecule to two pockets separately using AutoDock, and look at the estimated free energies of binding. Best wishes, Tomas On Mon, Nov 18, 2013 at 8:55 PM, Wei Shi

2013-11-18 Thread Wei Shi
Thank you so much for the suggestions, Tomas! Yes, my ligand is a small molecule. I have the crystal structure of the ligands bound to the protein, do I still need to computationally dock the ligand to the two pockets, can I calculate the parameters of binding directly using the crystal structure?

Re: [ccp4bb] distinguish ligand binding sites within a protein

2013-11-18 Thread Xiaodi Yu
Hi Wei: Based on the structure, you can calculate the binding surface between the protein and the ligand. Maybe the two binding pockets will give you two different numbers. And the larger one usually can have the higher binding affinity. You also can analyse how the ligand interacts with the
