[phenixbb] Improvement of low resolution MR phases

[Kajander, Tommi A]

Dear John,

Thanks for your suggestion - however I am not sure what this would mean? If look at the typical Wilson plot (which we of couse dont really have ... to 2 Å or 2.5Å) why would you expect an increase in intensity at this resolution?

Probably beyond my theoretical knowledge but I don't recall a case where the data would come back up in terms of I(sig) to above noise really?

(also in practical terms I think we might not have had the detector close enough since the data was limited to quite low resolution…)

Best wishes,
Tommi

Dear Tommi,
I have thought before about this kind of case, of 5 to 6 Angstrom resolution diffraction, namely that the molecular transform must increase again at higher resolution, say 2 1/2 Angstrom, at which therefore the measurable intensity would increase enough to maybe be above background.
To check this go back to your diffraction images and integrate to, say, 2Angstrom. Does the <I/sigI> show the increase at around 2 1/2 Angstrom resolution?
Obviously if you do have those higher resolution data measurable then matters improve all round.
Greetings,
John

 Hello all,

I was wondering what would be current best protocols for trying to improve maps/phases for low resolution
MR / refinement solutions (5-6 Å resolution).

High solvent content of course, dimeric 2:2 protein complex so some NCS averaging and density modification
I assume might help (related structures known, currently maps very blobby, clear solution but I think should be able to do better...).

Also, refinement suggestions welcome.

Best route in phenix? So far worked initially with ccp4. Other suggestions also welcome.

Thanks!
Tommi
