Introduction

Please check from time to time this page - we try to keep it up-to-date.

All necessary files for these tutorials should be available for download on the various tutorial pages themselves.


Setup

Note: the following setup instructions are only relevant to this workshop!

To start the SHARP interface, it should be enough to just type

sharp

in a terminal. If called the very first time, it will download a few files from the server and do some setup - which should be finished in a few minutes (depending on network traffic).

Please read the final messages printed to the terminal, since these will contain some user/password information required in the next step.

A 'firefox' window should pop up, asking for user and password information: check your terminal for the required values. Afterwards you should be presented with the "SHARP Control Panel".

Alternatively, you should be able to connect to


Se-MET peak 1o22

A tutorial on 1O22 from JCSG is available here. It uses the same data that was part of the autoPROC tutorial.

Own data

To work with your own data in SHARP/autoSHARP, please have the following available (for details see autoSHARP documentation):

  • reflection files:
    • *.sca files (merged SCALEPACK format with I+ and I- measurements - unless native data for SIR/MIR)
    • *.mtz files (merged files containing DANO/SIGDANO columns in case of anomalous data)
  • sequence:
    • *.pir sequence file in correct format
  • atomic model:
    • model*.pdb file with final model (for comparison) and/or partial model (to use this for heavy atom detection in autoSHARP)
  • heavy atom information:
    • *.hatom file with (fractional) coordinates of known heavy atom positions

Apart from obviously reflection data, all other data files are optional. If you don't have a sequence file handy, you can use the number of residues (1 amino-acid is about 110 Da) instead.

You need to place those files either by hand into

$HOME/sharpfiles/datafiles

or use the tool from the "SHARP Control Panel" for uploading it.
