Dear community, I would like to count crystal contacts bewteen ASU and symmetrics along the cell axis (a, b, c). Could someone point to me a way to do this? Thank you very much in advance. vincent -- Vincent Chaptal, PhD Institut de Biologie et Chimie des Protéines Drug Resistance and Membrane Proteins Laboratory 7 passage du Vercors 69007 LYON FRANCE +33 4 37 65 29 01 http://www.ibcp.fr

Phenix validate without map/mtz?
by Oliver Clarke 07 Sep '16

Hi, Would it be possible to allow for running phenix validate without a map/mtz? I dont always want the RSCC information, and it would be useful to be able to get the geometry stats and sequence check without loading a map (which in the case of EM maps can be very large and will presumably slow things down a lot). Cheers, Oliver.

Data processing

Dear All, i had collected the data set on the Bruker X-ray machine (home source), it has its in built data processing software, but i want to process it on HKL2000, but the file format is .srfm and it is not read by HKL2000 soft. in our lab we have. So, i tried to change the detector type, then i came to know that we don't have license to bruker detector, So anyone know how to convert these file into .mccd or.mar, so i can process them. Thank you -- Sharan C/O Dr. J V Pratap Senior Research Fellow, CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow

Post-doctoral position in membrane protein structure and function, University of Oxford, UK
by Maike Bublitz 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

Dear all, a post-doctoral position is available in the research group of Associate Prof. Maike Bublitz at the Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford. The project aims to understand the structure and function of microbial membrane transport proteins identified as potential new drug targets, using a combination of state-of-the-art structural (X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM) and biochemical/biophysical techniques. Applicants should hold a PhD in a relevant subject area, such as membrane protein biochemistry or structural biology. Experience in native or recombinant membrane protein expression, purification and either structural determination or functional analysis using biochemical and biophysical techniques is essential. Ability to work in a team as well as contribute to supervision activities and excellent verbal and written communication skills are expected. Experience in protein X-ray crystallography and/or cryo-EM is an advantage. To apply for this role and for further details, including the job description and selection criteria, please click on the link below: https://www.recruit.ox.ac.uk/pls/hrisliverecruit/erq_jobspec_details_form.j… Applications for this vacancy are to be made online by 14th September 2016. PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A READVERTISEMENT, PREVIOUS APPLICANTS NEED NOT APPLY.
