nucleic acid nomencalture

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.

How do I make trisaccharide, tetrasaccharides
by Hansman, Grant (NIH/VRC) [F] 28 Apr '10

How do I make trisaccharide, tetrasaccharides, etc from single monosaccharides? I.e., how do I join the monosaccharides. Do I use ideal coordinates? Can I join them in coot? I want to make HBGA Trisaccharide B. That is, I want to join FUC-GAL-GLA, it would be FUC (C1)-GAL (O2)-GAL (C2) then GAL (C3)-GAL(O3)-GLA(C1) ATOM 1 C1 FUC A 1 1.410 0.468 -0.410 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 2 C2 FUC A 1 0.120 0.513 -1.233 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 3 C3 FUC A 1 -0.831 -0.576 -0.728 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 4 C4 FUC A 1 -1.016 -0.402 0.783 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 5 C5 FUC A 1 0.359 -0.379 1.454 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 6 C6 FUC A 1 0.185 -0.241 2.967 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 7 O1 FUC A 1 2.007 -0.823 -0.535 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 8 O2 FUC A 1 0.424 0.284 -2.610 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 9 O3 FUC A 1 -2.094 -0.452 -1.385 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 10 O4 FUC A 1 -1.700 0.824 1.044 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 11 O5 FUC A 1 1.116 0.724 0.961 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 1 C1 GAL A 1 1.384 0.161 -0.445 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 2 C2 GAL A 1 0.328 -0.139 -1.512 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 3 C3 GAL A 1 -0.975 0.575 -1.139 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 4 C4 GAL A 1 -1.360 0.176 0.289 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 5 C5 GAL A 1 -0.177 0.454 1.220 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 6 C6 GAL A 1 -0.563 0.093 2.655 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 7 O1 GAL A 1 2.612 -0.476 -0.802 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 8 O2 GAL A 1 0.785 0.328 -2.782 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 9 O3 GAL A 1 -2.011 0.186 -2.044 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 10 O4 GAL A 1 -1.686 -1.213 0.327 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 11 O5 GAL A 1 0.945 -0.328 0.819 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 12 O6 GAL A 1 0.539 0.355 3.526 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 1 C1 GLA A 1 1.424 -0.489 -0.382 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 2 C2 GLA A 1 0.392 -0.498 -1.512 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 3 C3 GLA A 1 -0.650 0.592 -1.244 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 4 C4 GLA A 1 -1.222 0.387 0.163 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 5 C5 GLA A 1 -0.068 0.330 1.166 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 6 C6 GLA A 1 -0.630 0.161 2.579 1.00 10.00 C ATOM 7 O1 GLA A 1 2.043 0.797 -0.316 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 8 O2 GLA A 1 1.044 -0.242 -2.757 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 9 O3 GLA A 1 -1.700 0.498 -2.209 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 10 O4 GLA A 1 -1.958 -0.836 0.206 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 11 O5 GLA A 1 0.783 -0.771 0.859 1.00 10.00 O ATOM 12 O6 GLA A 1 0.446 0.112 3.517 1.00 10.00 O

AutoBuild error message prime and switch
by Rebecca Oot 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

Hi, I'm trying to use the AutoBuild wizard to calculate a prime and switch map. When I hit run I get the following error message: The key ignore_blanks is not in var_type_dict....this means the command-line Wizard needs a conversion in the autobuild.py script under 'Translating inputs' or else in excluded_inputs. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks Rebecca

ReadySet for special position metal
by TC Hu 26 Apr '10

26 Apr '10

Dear all, I am refining a structure with a metal ion on a 2-fold axis, coordinated by four histidines, two from the ASU and two from symmetry. I used phenix.ready_set to generate the metal coordination file and input it into phenix.refine. However, phenix.refine complains that the customized angle restraints contain a special position atom and cannot continue. I am using Phenix 1.5.2. Could anyone suggest me how to solve this problem? Thank you! Best, Tiancen

how to generate sharpened map for input into Pymol
by Daqi Tu 24 Apr '10

24 Apr '10

Hi, I am generating a electron density map figure in pymol for my structure. Since the data is very anisotropic, map sharpening has proven to be quite useful. The structure was solved using Phenix. How do I generate an Xplor style map in Phenix that incorporates sharpening? Thanks.

Conflicting scattering type symbols: refine with TaBr
by Francis E Reyes 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Hi All I'm getting an error refining with TaBr. Got tbr_exp.pdb from Hic-Up and prepared the cif with phenix.elbow. Try to do a refine with the pdb and cif and I get this error. Sorry: Conflicting scattering type symbols: initial symbol: "TA" (from pdb element column) new symbol: "T" (with residue name TBR) atom: "HETATM 1917 TA1 TBR B7131 .*. TA " What are people calling their TaBr records and/or how are they generating their cifs?

can phenix.refine create a diff of the current input file with the pdb from the last run before refining?
by Francis E Reyes 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

Hi all, Just a feature request that phenix.refine make a diff comparing the current input file with the pdb from the last run and then doing a refinement on the input file and then allow a phenix.refine --revert to allow the user to backtrack incase the refinement isn't suitable. Right now I edit the pdb, save it as xxxx_001-input.pdb and specify xxxx_001-input.pdb as the input file in xxxx_002.def. (Yes I'm using the command line, does the GUI allow this? (i.e. right click on a refinement run then click revert?) ) F --------------------------------------------- Francis Reyes M.Sc. 215 UCB University of Colorado at Boulder gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 67BA8D5D 8AE2 F2F4 90F7 9640 28BC 686F 78FD 6669 67BA 8D5D
