Automated macromolecular structure solution from SAD and MR-SAD experiments with Crank2
Tuesday, March 8th at 12pm EST
Navraj Pannu, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
Leiden University, The Netherlands
Host: Jason Key
Determining new macromolecular structures from X-ray data diffracting to low resolution or with a weak anomalous signal is a difficult task. Here, I'll discussa new multivariate algorithm that simultaneously and synergistically combines the structure determination steps of substructure phasing, density modification and model building with refinement in one process. Furthermore, the method has been extended to use information from partial molecular replacement solutions. …

Assembling data from multiple crystals with BLEND
Tuesday, February 9th at 12pm EST
James Foadi, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Research Associate
Diamond Synchrotron, Oxfordshire
Host: Jason Key
In recent times, in macromolecular crystallography, it has become increasingly common at synchrotrons to obtain complete merged datasets using partial data wedges from multiple crystals. There are several reasons for the emergence of this recent trend, all pointing to the fact that completeness and redundancy from many crystals are, in general, superior to those coming from single crystals. When dealing with multiple crystals, though, users face two …

Roberto Tejero from the University of Valencia, Spain will join us on January 26th at 12:00pm EST to give a primer on PDBStat, a coordinate and protein NMR restraint converter.
PDBStat
Tuesday, January 26th at 12pm EST
Roberto Tejero
Associate Professor
University of Valencia, Spain
Host: Jason Key
PDBStat is a user-friendly tool for interconverting between protein coordinate and protein NMR restraint data formats. It also provides an integrated set of computational methods for protein NMR restraint analysis and structure quality assessment, relabeling of prochiral atoms with correct IUPAC names, as well as multiple methods for analysis of the consistency of atomic positions indicated by their convergence across a protein NMR ensemble.
Learn more about PDBStat from the website.
