Re: [ccp4bb] R free flag missing after ARP/wARP?

2014-10-20 Thread Tim Gruene
Dear Lu Zuokun, since you can use the output mtz-file from ArpWarp for model building, but not for refinement, there is no need to include the Rfree flag in its output file. Maybe the omission is a deliberate caveat to the users to pay attention to this. Best regards, Tim On 10/20/2014 04:41

[ccp4bb] protein forming dimers

Hello everyone, I would like to take a advice from you all. I have protein like 200 KDa when i lode in a gel it shows band on 200KDa, Is that this protein gets dimer or anything else is happening. I would appreciate for some open discussion. -- * Regards,** Arun *

Well, If it is an SDS-PAGE gel, then the act of boiling the protein in detergent generally denatures the protein and breaks apart non-covalent interactions. To assess dimerisation, a non-denaturing technique might be more helpful. Native-PAGE, Size Exlusion Chromatography, Analytical

Dear Colin and Tim, But ARPwARP uses REFMAC5 for refinement, does this means that REFMAC5 uses all reflections as working set? How to validate that the refinement is not over fit? Best wishes! Lu Zuokun -- 卢作焜 南开大学新生物站A202 At 2014-10-20 17:38:58, Tim Gruene

[ccp4bb] Fwd: mapsig errors

Hi all, I tried using mapsig for the first time, and I got multiple errors (text pasted at bottom). This is on mac os x 10.8.5, and the CCP4 install is 6.4.0. I followed these instructions to be able to use CCP4 programs at the command line:

When you chose the option “Do not use the Free R flag”, then you were telling Refmac not to use cross-validation and therefore to use all reflections as the working set. My experience (doubtless very limited compared to the ARP/wARP developers) is that it’s significantly better to use the

2014-10-20 Thread Folmer Fredslund
Dear Lu Zuokun, The option you mention do not use the Free R flag, tells ARP/wARP to do refinement without using the R-free flags, so it does not seem strange to me that it would output a file without those labels. I don't know why this would be a good idea, though, if you want to continue

[ccp4bb] a more intelligent mapsig question

2014-10-20 Thread Scott Horowitz
Hi all, Now that I have mapsig running, I am getting an error message that I am confused by. The maps I am using are anomalous maps generated by FFT. Originally, I had them covering just the asymmetric unit, but based on the error message below, I then redid it where I covered a user defined

Hi Scott, it's complaining that the input files are not in the standard CCP4 map format. Since they have the extension 'pdb' and not 'map' could they by any chance be PDB format files? If so then this won't work! Cheers -- Ian On 20 October 2014 14:47, Scott Horowitz horow...@umich.edu wrote:

I agree with Ethan. In philosophy, NMA is a useful analysis to study low frequency collective motions. That is true by taking a stand-alone structure and explore such motions of biological interest. Domain motions in the crystallographic environment need not necessarily correspond to those

Hello, You can also contact elNemo or NOMAD-Ref server developers about getting covariance/correlation matrices from normal mode analysis outputs to know the correctly coordinated mobile atoms. In this way you can compare with biological data also. In Shekhar's said paper K. Suhre (one of the
