[ccp4bb] CrystalClear tape rolls

Dear All, Just wondering what the current situation on CrystalClear tray sealing tape is. Molecular Dimensions, Hampton, Jena seem to be selling mainly sheets or strips precut for plates - I guess related with the fact that the consumer box sealing tape changed specifications and now clouds

Hi Mark, last time I checked (few months back), Hampton still sold tape. Shipping to Europe is extortionate but if you combine with screens and other goodies, it's just about bearable. Andreas On 01/12/2014 10:24, Mark J van Raaij wrote: Dear All, Just wondering what the current

[ccp4bb] how to dump diffraction image header info?

2014-12-01 Thread Takaaki Fukami
Dear all, I'd like to dump header information of a diffraction image file. CCP4 diffdump is a good tool, though it outputs the same angle for both oscillation start and end for .cbf image. (bug?) Are there any other tools to get diffraction image header info? Regards - Takaaki Fukami

Dear Takaaki, dxtbx provides a way to do this (see http://journals.iucr.org/j/issues/2014/04/00/jo5001/jo5001.pdf). It is available in ccp4-python (try 'import dxtbx'), however there is no script currently in CCP4 that uses this to print the header information. One could write such a script

2014-12-01 Thread Herman . Schreuder
Dear Takaaki, The .cbf images I work with (SLS) have their header as plain text in front of the image. With an editor like vi I can examine the contents. Also with the more command you can have a look at it. What I find in the header though, is Start_angle and Angle_increment; no end angle.

2014-12-01 Thread Harry Powell
Hi Takaaki The easy way, since the headers of CBF images are plain ASCII, is to check your image with a text viewer (e.g. more or less on the command-line). This will also work for ADSC SMV format, Rigaku d*Trek format, Bruker 86 100 formats, but not for Rigaku original R-Axis format, Agilent

Dear CCP4Sorry for the question, does anyone work with the pMAL-p2X vector not c2X, because I am trying to find this vector for a long time now, and neither NEB of life technologies provide this vector. Does anyone know from where  I can get it or any company provides it, I would be grateful.

Hi Reza, 1.0 and 1.25 M citrate are potential cryo solutions. They still had faint ice rings present but were not dominant. It is also difficult to make a solution more concentrated then 1.75 M citrate. Hope this helps. -Adam On Dec 1, 2014, at 10:59 AM, Reza Khayat
