Details	METHOD--annealing, rigid refining REFINEMENT PROTOCOL--rigid body DETAILS--THE MODEL WAS DERIVED USING HIGH RESOLUTION ELECTRON DIFFRACTIONS FROM TWO DIMENSIONAL CRYSTALS OF TUBULIN INDUCED BY THE PRESENCE OF ZN++ IONS. WHAT FOLLOWS ARE THE COORDINATES FOR EPOLTHILONE-A BOUND TO AB-TUBULIN DIMER IN THE ZINC-INDUCED SHEETS. THE LIGAND MODEL WAS FIT INTO A DENSITY MAP FOR WHICH THE RESOLUTION IN THE PLANE OF THE SHEET WAS 2.89 ANGSTROMS AND THAT PERPENDICULAR TO THE SHEET WAS ABOUT 4.2 ANGSTROMS AS DESCRIBED IN THE SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL. PHASES WERE DERIVED FROM A PREVIOUS MODEL OF ALPHA/BETA TUBULIN COMPLEXED WITH TAXOL (1JFF). SHAKING, HIGH TEMPERATURE ANANEALING, AND MODEL WERE COMBINED TO PRODUCE AN OMIT MAP OF THE BOUND EPOTHILONE THAT SYSTEMATIC BIAS.A NUMBER OF CONFORMATIONAL MODELS WERE FLEXIBLY FITTED INITIAL MAP AND TESTED AGAINST THE DIFFRACTIONS BY DIFFERENCE MAP AS DESCRIBED IN THE PRIMARY REFERENCE. REFINEMENT TO THE FINAL STAGE WAS LIMITED WITHIN AN 8A RADIUS OF THE LIGAND. ALTHOUGH THE REMAINING PART OF THE PROTEIN SHOWS LITTLE DEVIATION FROM THAT SEEN IN 1JFF, CER NOT FULLY CONFORM WITH RAMACHANDRAN CHARACTERISTICS. AND SHOULD B THE FINAL MAPS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRESENT MODEL WERE DERIVED BY COMPLEX. AS SUCH, FREE R REPORTED BY THE SOFTWARE BELOW IS NOT RE
