Geometry problem with sugars refined in phenix
by Tirumala Kumar Chowdary 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Hi, I have refined a structure with NAGs linked to ASNs at 3 places in my structure. I used the right link definitions and the NAG definitions are from Phenix library. Phenix refined all the sugars right and made the right links between the NAGs. However, while submitting, PDB found problem with the geometry of NAGs linked to the ASN at two places. This is the issue -the atoms around C1 atom of the sugar molecule NAG A #810 and NAG A #1670 are on a plane and the C1 atom center is far off to be tetrahedral. Please, verify the chirality of C1 and provide the correct coordinates if necessary.- Any ideas on how to fix the geometry of these sugars will be of great help. Regularization and real space refine in Coot is not working or I don't know how to do it. I am looking for alternative ways to fix this problem. Thank You Tirumal

Problem with Autobuild
by Claudia Scotti 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Dear List, Sorry fo r the easy question, but I have a problem with Autobuild. I'm trying to rebuild a scFv, composed of two domains linked by a linker. I've managed to find an MR solution with a polyalanine model deprived of the loops, which is my starting model for rebuilding. I've given Autobuild three input files: the mtz, the model coordinates and the sequence of the scFv, asking to model only the beta strands and helices. Problem is that in the final model Autobuild seems to guess incorrectly the density of two beta-strands, inserting the linker there instead of the expected side chains. Any suggestions on how to correct this? Shall I manually rebuild this part to avoid problems? Or is it crucial to prevent errors, for example, that the model and the sequence are numbered so that they are in register? Thanks in advance, Claudia Claudia Scotti Dipartimento di Medicina Sperimentale Sezione di Patologia Generale Universita' di Pavia Piazza Botta, 10 27100 Pavia Italia Tel. 0039 0382 986335/8/1 Facs 0039 0382 303673 _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969

Can PHENIX write the peak list to a PDB file?
by Joe Krahn 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

PHENIX has an option to find positive and negative peaks, but only lists them in the log file along with the residue they are closest to. Is it possible to write out the actual peak coordinates, such as to a PDB file? Thanks, Joe Krahn

Bad ligand parameters
by Joe Krahn 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

I found that residue TRS has different dihedral target angles for the three hydroxyl oxygens, which are actually all equivalent. They have a periodicity of 1, but should have a periodicity of 3. What is the best way to handle such discrepancies? Most ligand parameters are probably auto-generated based on a reference structure, and there is probably a lot of conformation bias. In this case, it seems that parameterization should have been able to detect symmetry. It would be nice if parameters could include information about whether a human has done any validation. Actually, a ligand Wiki might be nice, where people can easily put comments, even if they are not sure about how to improve the parameters. Joe Krahn

Hi Scott, Your first command looks good to me.

Defining planarity for Phenix.refine
by Peter Grey 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Dear all, I have an RNA/Protein big complex at low resolution (roughly 4A). I would like to have the base pairs in the RNA as close as possible to ideal base pairs. I added restraints for distances between base pair hydrogen-bonding atoms but this is not enough to ensure that the bases will be in the same plane. Could you suggest how to define for Phenix.refine this planarity ? I am grateful for your advice, Peter

Improved refinement method for low resolution data
by Florian Nachon 14 May '10

14 May '10

Hi all, Axel Brunger just published a paper in Nature (http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v464/n7292/abs/nature08892.html) about a new method to improve models despite low-resolution data. It is implemented in CNS 1.3. It might be a bit early, but is there any plan to implement that method in phenix? Florian.

Refinement with partial model - question
by Peter Grey 13 May '10

13 May '10

Dear Phenix Users, I have a partial model at low resolution. Is there a way let Phenix.refine know the model is not complete and that when a mask is calculated for bulk solvent correction it should take this fact into consideration ? Alternatively, can I use a solvent mask from density modification program in Phenix.refine somehow ? Alternatively, is there a program that will build dummy atoms (zero occupancy) automatically in a map in all peaks above a certain sigma (i.e. atoms just for mask calculation). Thank you in advance, Peter.

Rigid body refinement question
by Simon Kolstoe 06 May '10

06 May '10

Dear phenixbb, What do I need to change in my .def file if I want to refine chain A-E of a structure as per the defaults but specify a single chain (in my case chain L) for just rigid refinement in all cycles? I had a look at the manual page (http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/refinement.htm ) but didn't find it too clear.

Hi Everyone, I am interested in refining a DNA structure with phenix. However, as soon as I read my PDB, I get a warning for missing restraints: PHENIX could not find geometry restraints in the standard monomer library for one or more residues in the PDB file" what is the correct nomenclature for DNA and RNA for use in PHENIX? Can I access phenix.elbow from the GUI ? Thanks

NCS problems using phenix GUI on a Mac
by John Pascal 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

Hello, I am having difficulties defining NCS parameters using the GUI interface (Mac 10.4.11; phenix 1.6-289). Phenix will automatically select NCS restraint groups and use them during refinement. But if I edit the automated selections to my liking then click on Update and Save, the refinement runs with the original parameters unedited. I have tried reading in a ncs.param file, but it does not get read during the refinement run. Also, an intermittent problem with this GUI is that I am not allowed to "Add" a new restraint group. When I click this button, it just clears out the selections on the last group, and does not add a new group. Any ideas? Thanks.

negative density for heavy atom?
by Kelly Daughtry 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

Hello all, I have just used phenix autosol and autobuild to phase and build an initial model of my structure with phase information from Tungsten (W), collected at the peak wavelength of 1.2134 Angstroms. Autosol works beautifully! I was able to perform W-SAD and get great maps, when I initially thought I would have to perform W-MAD! The problem I am having is during phenix.refine. When I run the refinement (with and without refining the group anomalous) and including my experimental phases, I see a giant negative peak in the Fo-Fc map at the location of my Tungsten. The rest of the map is beautiful. In the log file, I can tell that the scattering factor is high for tungsten (see below). I believe the negative density is telling me I have too many electrons present at the tungsten site. Can anyone help me figure out what I am doing wrong?

model vs Wilson b-factor
by Gino Cingolani 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

Hi all, we've solved a large structure (~20,000 residues/asymm unit), with 4-fold ncs and diffraction data to 3.3A. The Rfree/Rfac is ~28%-24% with OK geometry with no major outliers in the Ramachandran plot. I would think I'm done (.. after 6 years!). However, my refined model b-factor (~130A2) is >> Wilson b-factor (~80A2). Obviously I'm not too happy with it. Here is what I tried to resolve this discrepancy: --> play with wxu_scale --> play with B-factor weight in ncs restraint (4-fold ncs) --> play with number of macrocycles --> Redefine tls groups So far nothing really works, except switching from individual_adp to group_adp. However, this increases my Rfree by almost 3%. Any ideas?

Now that Phenix has a nice GUI and all that, will there ever be a Windows version? And a similar question: has anyone managed to get phenix.refine from cci_apps for Win32 distribution running? I can't seem to make it run: 1. Installer says run \cci_apps_build\setpaths.bat The script produces an error: ******************************************* Fatal Error: Incomplete libtbx environment\! ******************************************* Please re-run the libtbx/configure.py command. 2. configure.py is found in two places: \cci_apps_sources\libtbx\configure.py \cci_apps_sources\libtbx\command_line\configure.py When I run either of them with command python configure.py I get an error "ImportError: No module named libtbx.env_config" 3. There is no file libtbx.env_config anywhere in the installation. There is file \cci_apps_build\libtbx_env. Placing it in the same directory with configure.py does not help. Even renaming libtbx_env. to libtbx.env_config and running "python configure.py" still gives an error "No module named libtbx.env_config" (?) 4. If I just run phenix.refine executable from its directory, it stops with en error: File "c:\cci_apps_sources\mmtbx\secondary_structure.py", line 941, in run_ksdssp_direct raise RuntimeError, "KSDSSP not available" RuntimeError: KSDSSP not available Thanks in advance for any help! I am comfortable setting any environmental variables manually - just need to know what they should be. Dima
