How to use CCP4MG? • CCP4MG is separated in two windows: • The Display Table • The Graphics Window
Atomic Coordinates (PDB/mmCIF) • Opening the coordinates file:
The Display Table Each molecule or display object can be modify independently from the others. Each molecule file will appear as a 3 columns object Molecule “Object (a model object on this image)”
Close Contacts Temperature Spheroids Annotations Hydrogen Bonds
Other interesting things Applications -> Geometry Tools -> “Global controls” Monomer definition Preferences File -> Output screen Image View -> stereo show axes Transparency (!!) Model object -> add legend
What you see is not alwaysas good as what you get! There are various options in CCP4MG that let you tune the performance of the display in order for interaction to be as fast as possible. This does not affect the results of pictures !!
What is COOT ? • Coot is for model building, model completion and validation. • Coot displays maps and models and allows model manipulations such as idealization, real space refinement, manual rotation/translation, rigid-body fitting, ligand search, solvation, mutations, rotamers, Ramachandran plots... • Coot is developed by Paul Emsley and Kevin Cowtan from the university of York. http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~emsley/coot
