mrc to mtz conversion to open map in coot
by Joshua Jude Lobo 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hi phenixbb I am new to phenix and am trying to convert a cryo-em map(mrc format) to mtz format using the phenix.map_to_structure_factors command .This proceess finishes without errors but the resultant mtz file is not viewable in coot . I have tried both the phenix.map_to_model and the phenix.map_to_model_histogram_1.12-2829 How is the best way to troubleshoot this ? Any inputs would be appreciated Sincerely Joshua Lobo University of Minnesota Twin Cities

Postdoctoral position in Structure and Function of Fungal Membrane Proteins
by Maike Bublitz 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Postdoctoral position in Structure and Function of Fungal Membrane Proteins 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 fungal 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 31th August 2017.
