[phenixbb] Continue from an AutoBuild job abruptly killed

Hi Ralf,

Thank you!
I have managed to sort of continue from where it was by giving the wizard
the overall_best.pdb model, the overall_best_refine mtz as map coefficients,
asking not to rebuild_in_place the model (due to the presence of residues
not assigned to the sequence) and changing group_ca_length to 4. Finally, I
also provided the last NCS specification file, which was more complete than
the one generated from the original heavy atom sites. This seems to be a
reasonable option.

However, in the meantime, I thought I would like to add the heavy atoms to
the refinement, since the option exists. These are Zn atoms (the protein
contains two Zn fingers) However, if I try to do so, when the heavy atoms
are merged to the model I get this error:

Failed to carry out AutoBuild_build_cycle:
Refinement failed...perhaps something wrong with input refinement file
or data file or the column labels for them?
Error message from phenix.refine:
Fatal problems interpreting PDB file:
  Number of atoms with unknown scattering type symbols: 22
  Number of atoms with unknown nonbonded energy type symbols: 22
  Please edit the PDB file to resolve the problems and/or supply a
  CIF file with matching restraint definitions, along with
  apply_cif_modification and apply_cif_link parameter definitions
  if necessary (see phenix.refine documentation).
  Also note that phenix.elbow is available to create restraint
  definitions for unknown ligands.
************************************************************

This is one line of the heavy atoms file:

HETATM    1 ZN   ZN  X   1      20.182  79.511  12.808  0.78 72.41


Can I use Zn in this way?
I read that I can use phenix.elbow to prepare a cif file for Zn, but not
understand how... Could you please give me a clue?

Thank you!!


Miguel
