Problem with version 1.7.1-743 on OSX
by Miguel Ortiz Lombardía 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

Dear phenix developers, Last Friday (April 29) we upgraded phenix to its most recent version (1.7.1-743). Installation went smoothly on both Mac (10.6.7 64-bit) and Linux (Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit) machines. However, we observe that we cannot use phenix.refine (I don't know for the rest of the applications) from the GUI on the Macs. phenix.refine does work from the command line, though. So, whenever we try to add a pdb in the GUI, we get this error message: This application does not support the file type for /path/to/the/file.pdb (format: txt) If we try to open an mtz, it sometime works, but most often we get: PHENIX did not recognize the file type for /path/to/the/file.mtz! and on the terminal from where the GUI was started we can find: **SYMMETRY OPERATOR ERROR** Error in interpreting symop " X+2/3, Y+1/3, Z+1/3 " **SYMMETRY OPERATOR ERROR** Error in interpreting symop " -Y+2/3, X-Y+1/3, Z+1/3 " (and so on, so forth). Any clues ?

AutoBuild Question
by Page, Rebecca 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Dear phenix community: I ran AutoBuild.dat with a seq.dat file that has 3 separate sequences. Chains A and B were built, but chain C was not, even though there is density for the third chain. It occurred to me that only two of the three chains may have been read in. I seem to recall that seq.dat can be a maximum of two sequences, but am not sure. So, is there a limit to the number of sequences that can be present in seq.dat and if so, what is the limit. Thanks in advance, Rebecca

Intensity-Weighted Reciprocal Lattice
by Michael Thompson 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hello ccp4 & phenix BB members, I would like to view the intensity-weighted reciprocal lattice for several data sets that I have collected. (The data have been indexed, integrated and scaled with Denzo and Scalepack.) I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice on what might be the best and/or most practical way to do this? I know that there are several programs out there that can generate sections (i.e. 0,k,l) of the reciprocal lattice, such as LABELIT and xrayplot. Are there any other options for doing this, perhaps within ccp4 and/or phenix? I once saw someone give a presentation and they had a little video that showed a three dimensional section of the reciprocal lattice rocking back and forth, which was really cool. I liked this because I felt like it gave a much more holistic representation as opposed to viewing a bunch of individual sections. I don't know if there is an easy way to do this, or if this person somehow managed to create this 3D depiction from a series of sections. Any tips or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike -- Michael C. Thompson Graduate Student Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Division Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry University of California, Los Angeles miket(a)chem.ucla.edu

adding hydrogens -> increasing clash score
by Tatyana Sysoeva 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi! I have probably a very naive question - when one includes hydrogens into a refinement of a model build with data at ~3.6A clash score should not go up? I mean I am including hydrogens for a reason of improving the model quality when I cannot fit the sidechains into some density, etc. Can it be true that using default 3 macrocycles on a changed (reduced) model is not enough to minimize it? Thanks, Tanya

how to apply phi/psi helical restraints
by Daqi Tu 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Hi, I was trying to restrain a relatively mobile region of my structure to be helical using Phenix secondary structure restraints. The result is very bad. It forces the N-O distance to be about 3A, but the phi/psi angles are all ugly. What is the way in Phenix I can apply phi/psi restraints just like in the old CNS, which had always worked nicely? Thank you. Daqi Tu

Re: [phenixbb] Third issue of Computation Crystallography Newsletter - Volume 2, Number 2
by Frank von Delft 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Hi, just scanned through the article on automatic weight adjustment. If I had to summarise figures 1 and 2, I'd have to conclude that the latest weight optimization only occasionally produces better results than not doing it (fig 2); and that therefore the old optimization was considerably worse than doing nothing at all. Or have I misinterpreted it?

Phaser searching with density: how do I place my model on the solution?
by Pietro Roversi 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

Dear all, I succeded in finding a molecular replacement solution searching with the density I have in P43212 against a C2221 dataset, using the Phaser procedure documented in: http://www.phaser.cimr.cam.ac.uk/index.php/Using_Electron_Density_as_a_Model Question: what operators should I use for dmmulti now? Or put it another way, how do I put onto the C2221 placement my P43212 model? I tried using the Euler and xyz numbers fro0m the phaser sol file but they do not seem to produce a model that goes with the C2221 Phaser density. Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks Pietro

getting phenix and coot to talk on OSX
by Harry Greenblatt 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

BS"D Dear All, I see that CCP4 has a new version of coot for OSX that runs under X-windows. I'm not interested in using Fink, and Bill Scott's standalone binaries don't seem to work on my laptop, and we also have some machines at 10.5.x, and new versions of coot in that format are not available. But the CCP4 version wasn't built it to communicate with Phenix during a run. Is that functionality something that can be added easily post-facto?
