Alternate conformer and HOH clashes
by Yuri 24 Jul '11

24 Jul '11

Dear All, I am having trouble refining multiple conformers that would clash into a neighbouring side chain that also has an alternate conformer. An attempt to clarify: Lets say a Tyr residue has conformation A1, but also moves into a position B1. In postition B, its side chain would clash into a neighbour Phe A2. However this Phe has another conformation B2. Bottom line, B1 and B2 would not clash, neither would A1 and A2. Any other combo (A1 B2, etc...) would clash. When I model it all in I see problems... I encounter the same situation with partially occupied HOHs. Whats the best way to deal with this Thank you -- Yuri Pompeu

restraints for D3O+ give problems to run in phenix.refine
by Maxime Cuypers 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

hello, apologies if this problem has already been reported, i browsed for a while and i am running out of ideas to solve my problem. i have a neutron structure i was refining fine with phenix.refine untill i had to add a D3O water. description: running phenix.elbow or phenix.refine with .cif file for D3O i am getting the following error: ...

Could someone help me figuring out a solution to get the restraints to work for D3O(+), please? Maxime

phenix.phaser PATH problem
by G P 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Dear all, It's long story: At beginning, I have phenix installed. I do not have CCP4 installed. Then I run "phenix.phaser params.eff" to call phenix run phaser from script params.eff. It works well. Then, I installed CCP4 with its own phaser inside. Then I run again "phenix.phaser params.eff". The computer start to import files (should be some libraries and supporting files, not input data) from CCP4 installation directory. It seems so strange for me. And because some of the .so files in CCP4 directory are for 32bit, phenix.phaser gave me error message: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 and refused to keep running. I guess I could solve this problem by copying the same .so file in phenix directory into CCP4's directory. What I really want to know is why this happen. Is that the installation of CCP4 changed some kinds of PATH variables for phenix? How could I fix by giving a right path again? I would appreciate to any help. Thanks a lot guys! Best regards, GP

phenix.phaser multiple models
by G Y 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Dear all, I want to give several input pdb (searching model) at same time and let phaser run MR separately on each of them. I found I can do this by first "Add ensembles" at Ensemble tab and then "Add search" at Search procedure tab then link the correct ensemble ID. However, there is just one output result for the best solution. Is there anyway to get all solutions in separate .mtz and .pdb files for different searching models? Many thanks! regards, G

problem in rosetta rebuilding
by intekhab alam 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Hi i tried to run rosetta on a unix machine (ubuntu 9.04) for my data. Upto MR step everything goes fine , but during the rebuilding step after 20 cycles the computer shuts down. i have attached the log file for the autobuilding run of rosetta. i am using phenix 1.7.1-743 version. i will be grateful if some one helps me out -- INTEKHAB ALAM LABORATORY OF STRUCTURAL BIOINFORMATICS KOREA UNIVERSITY, SEOUL

Phenix TLS refined model feeding into next round of refinement
by Daqi Tu 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Hi, I used to think after one round of Phenix TLS refinement, if I need to do further refinements after correcting couple residues, I need to take out the ANISOU records from the pdb file. The reason is if not, all protein atoms might be applied anisotropic individual B factor refinement in the next round. Yesterday, I made a "mistake" directly feeding the pdb file from the previous TLS refinement into the next one. Seems it is fine. Is that true Phenix automatically recognize what I wanted, that is, TLS only, not anisotropic individual B factor refinement? Thank you. Daqi Tu

How the sharpening were performed in PHENIX.
by zhangh1＠umbc.edu 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hi, I was trying to do a B-factor sharpening using phenix GUI CreatMaps utilities. The output for the sharpened maps contains 2FOFCWT and PHI2FOFCWT columes, so I think they are sigmaA weighted 2Fo-Fc maps. But from Brunger's paper, the sharpening coefficients seems directly applied on Fo, and I wonder what happened before we get the 2mFoDFc maps. Or, the sharpening coefficients have been applied to the 2mFoDFc maps? Thanks for any information! Hailiang
