System requirement
by 崔中利 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

Dear all, I am trying to run phenix on a IBM X-31 laptop (1.3G CPU, 256M memory, redhat Fedora Core 3 operation system). But every time it ceased midway. So, can somebody tell me the system requirement to run Phenix? or is any other software required to run Phenix? Zhongli

Problem on Running Phenix
by 崔中利 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

Dear All, I have just installed phenix 1.24.1b and tested my data on this version of Phenix. I tried Autosol. There should be 4 windows to finish the parameter setup according to the documents. But I met a problem after setting the pathway of file of protein sequence (2nd window). The window didn't change to green after I set the pathway and pressed Continue. But from the CPU indicator I knew it was running (100% CPU occupation). And from the log file, I found the program set the resolution automaticlly (3rd window). But after serveral hours' running, I get nothing. What's more, the running sequence was a bit different to the online document of Phenix. The setup window (1st window) appeared first, then the Autosol program window. I don't know what wrong happened to my running, problem of software or my computer. Zhongli

AUTOBUILD CC
by Noinaj 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

Hi, I am new to PHENIX and would like to get a bit of guidance. I am helping a friend with her structure using SAD phasing. She has 4 Se/molecule with 4 mol/ASU. We used Solve to find her sites with nice occupancy, and then ran AUTOBUILD, just to see how it did. It is returning map correlation coeff, Z-scores, etc. What are good numbers for these parameters? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Nick

Re: [phenixbb] problem when installing phenix 1.24.1b

This most likely means you have downloaded the binairies that do not match your machine architecture. See the readme file: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------- Currently, the following Redhat Linux platforms are tested, and therefore supported for the distribution: - Redhat 8.0 - Redhat 9.0 - Redhat Enterprise Workstation 3 [+/- x86_64] - Redhat Enterprise Server 4.2 [+/- x86_64] - Fedora Core 3 [+/- x86_64] - Fedora Core 5 [+/- x86_64] Redhat versions prior to 8.0 are not supported. PHENIX should also install on other Linux platforms such as Mandrake, or SuSe. There are 4 different Linux installations available, based on the version of the kernel (2.4 or 2.6) and the CPU type (ix86 or x86_64). If it isn't clear which you need then type this command on the machine in question: % uname -rm The first item is the kernel version, the second is the machine hardware. Please download the appropriate installer based on this table: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - | hardware \ kernel | 2.4 | 2.6 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - | ix86 | intel-linux-2.4 | intel-linux-2.6 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - | x86_64 | intel-linux-2.4-x86_64| intel-linux-2.6- x86_64| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Currently, the following other Unix platforms are tested, and therefore supported for the distribution: - Compaq Tru64 5.1 - SGI Irix 6.5[*] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ i.e., check if if you have a 2.4 or 2.6 linux kernel and what your cpu type is. for me, I get this: 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp i686 i.e, i need the 2.6 , ix86 version. HTH Peter Hi, I met a problem when installing the phenix 1.24.1a. The installer gave me an error information "neither source nor binary availabe, exiting installation". What's wrong with my installation? Zhongli _______________________________________________ phenixbb mailing list phenixbb(a)phenix-online.org http://www.phenix-online.org/mailman/listinfo/phenixbb

run phenix in vitue linux environment
by 崔中利 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

I installed phenix 1.1a in a virtue Fedora Core 3 machine with VMware workstation 5 under windows XP on a IBM X31 notebook. When I run autosol (sad) to solve my protein, the system gave me error information "the connection to strategy disrupted" after all parameters are set, but it seems that the program is still running (for the window is still green) . However, the Autosol is showed as Finished in Job control window. Even if I leave the program running overnight, there is no solution produced. Can anyome give me some comments? Zhongli

PHENIX 1.24.1 beta now available
by Paul Adams 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

======================================================================= PHENIX 1.24.1 Beta Release ======================================================================= On behalf of the PHENIX development team I am happy to announce that the next general release version of PHENIX is now available. Binary installers for Linux, SGI and Tru64 platforms are available at our download site: http://phenix-online.org/download/ Current users of PHENIX should upgrade to this most recent release version. To obtain download instructions visit: http://phenix-online.org/phenix_request/ Documentation for PHENIX is available at: http://phenix-online.org/download/documentation/phenix/ There is a PHENIX mailing list at: http://www.phenix-online.org/mailman/listinfo/phenixbb/ There is a PHENIX wiki at: http://www.phenix-online.org/phenix_wiki Please consult the installer README file or online documentation for installation instructions. This is a beta test version, and we therefore look forward to feedback and bug reports from users. Please direct questions and problem reports to: help(a)phenix-online.org and bugs(a)phenix-online.org Commercial users interested in obtaining access to PHENIX should visit the PHENIX website for information about the PHENIX Industrial Consortium: http://www.phenix-online.org/ This version of PHENIX has three main user interfaces: command-line tools, strategies and wizards. Wizards are available under the Wizard tab in the PHENIX GUI, and are designed to complete a complex structure determination process, making automatic decisions when possible, but prompting the user for additional information when necessary. Strategies are available under the Strategy tab in the PHENIX GUI, and are networks of tasks constructed to perform higher-level functions. Version 1.24.1b of PHENIX includes: Wizards (in the PHENIX GUI and from the command-line) ===================================================== - AutoSol - automated structure solution (from processed data to a first map and model) using HySS, SOLVE, RESOLVE, and phenix.refine. - AutoMR - automated molecular replacement, using PHASER. Followed by automated model rebuilding using the AutoBuild wizard. - AutoBuild - automated model building or rebuilding combined with structure refinement, using RESOLVE and phenix.refine. - AutoLig - automated ligand fitting into difference density maps using RESOLVE once a complete protein model is available. Strategies (in the PHENIX GUI) ============================== - Ligand screening against the top 200 ligands in the PDB, using RESOLVE. - Structure solution (MAD/SAD and SIR(AS)/MIR(AS)) combining HySS, SOLVE and RESOLVE. - Phase improvement using maximum likelihood methods in RESOLVE. - Model building using TEXTAL or RESOLVE. Command-line tools ================== - mmtbx.xtriage (comprehensive data quality assessment, including twin analysis) - iotbx.reflection_statistics (analysis of diffraction data) - mmtbx.fest (FA value calculation) - phenix.hyss (anomalous substructure determination) - textal.build (automated model building with TEXTAL) - elbow.builder (generation of ligand coordinates and restraints) - phenix.refine (automated structure refinement) - phenix.geometry_minimization (regularize a structure) - phenix.solve (solve) - phenix.resolve (resolve) - phenix.resolve_pattern (resolve_pattern) - iotbx.mtz.dump (write useful information about a MTZ file) - iotbx.pdb.hierarchy (write useful information about a PDB file) Citing PHENIX ============= If you use PHENIX for solving a structure please cite this publication: PHENIX: building new software for automated crystallographic structure determination P.D.
