Dear all,
Our next industry talk is on Wednesday 28 September 2022 at 2pm UK time. The
speaker is John Liebeschuetz from Astex and his talk is "Do proteins ever
strain drug-like ligands?"
Details and registration at https://www.ccpbiosim.ac.uk/astex2022. If you had

Hi All
To prevent Phenix removing link records, you can use Readyset to create a
parameters file based on LINK records, and feed it to the refinement program,
otherwhise they are deleted.
Best wishes
Matthew.

Hi All,
My group has a couple of Postdoc positions available immediately to study the
structures and functions of proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases.
The projects utilize cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography along with a battery of
other biophysical and biochemical methods.
As
There are several programs for integrating electron density, but please
let me assure you that it is almost always the wrong thing to do.
A much better strategy is occupancy refinement. Throw in dummy atoms,
turn off non-bonded interactions to them, and refine their occupancy
until it a)
Hi James,
I like your approach with dummy atoms and occupancy refinement. Dealing
with actual maps sounds like hell to me indeed (especially given that we
deal with weighted Fourier maps!). Reading this as someone who immediately
translates this into a computer code (in my mind), a few things
Hi all,
There are lots of great suggestions in this thread. I will just add a
little trick from small molecule crystallography: when trying to estimate
how many atoms can fit in a given volume, you can use the Rule of 18. Take
the volume of interest in Angstroms^3 and divide it by 18 Angstroms^3.
