I'm fairly sure that the 300-ish micron focus on my old (and retired) Rigaku RuH3R home system - a perfectly good workhorse - was consider micro-focus by precisely nobody. Phil Jeffrey Princeton From: CCP4 bulletin board on behalf of Gianluca Santoni Sent: W

Are all the APIs open source ? I was under the impression that CCP4 had moved away from that, which might justifiably reduce interest in any limited-availability API. Phil Jeffrey Princeton From: CCP4 bulletin board [CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK] on behalf of J

Re: [ccp4bb] Rmerge of the last shell is zero

2013-08-14 Thread Jeffrey, Philip D.
Hello Yafang, The answer lies in the fact that you used HKL2000. Scalepack has a long standing "feature" where it reports Rmerge > 100% as zero. Quite why they do that is a mystery, but your Rmerge in the outermost shell is NOT zero - the Rmerge for the lower resolution shells will show up as

2018-08-02 Thread Jeffrey, Philip D.
"Very decent" means different things to different people. Is your Rmerge < 20% in the 0.84 Å shell ? If so that's a small molecule quality data set and something like that should solve relatively straightforwardly with e.g. SHELXT. However the classical program would be SHELXD and perhaps a C

Mohamed, You always list the sequence of what's actually in the crystal, e.g. 1-105. (Not: what's in the model or what the sequence of the full length protein is). Make sure that if there's any lingering residues from any affinity/purification tags they get included in the sequence too. Phil

Hi Tim, While I use Scalepack2mtz (not from the gui) all the time, Scalepack has the unfortunate feature that once Rsym > 1.0 it gets reported as 0.0. Now that I'm exploring higher resolution limits along the lines of the recent Karplus and Diederichs paper (Science Vol. 336, pp. 1030-33 (2012

That sounds like the bug in Phenix.refine v1.8 that a few of us encountered - updating to the latest release will help. Actually wasn't so much a bug but a "feature", albeit not the best one imaginable. Anyone using older v1.8 versions should update. --- Phil Jeffrey Princeton On Nov 2, 2012,

Jacob, If you fine slice and everything is then a partial, isn't that *more* sensitive to lack of synchronization between the shutter and rotation axis than the wide-frame method where there's a larger proportion of fulls that don't approach the frame edges (in rotation space) ? Especially if

Juliana, I think if you compare otherwise equivalent refinement runs in phenix.refine with refinement.input.xray_data.outliers_rejection=True (the default) and refinement.input.xray_data.outliers_rejection=False then this will tell you if there's any meaningful difference in the refinement sta
