changes from 1.8.1-1161 to official 1.8.1?
by Eric Williams 02 Oct '12

Where any major bugs fixed between the 1161 nightly build and the official 1.8.1 release? I have a large batch job running that uses 1161. If the squashed bugs are big enough, it might be worth stopping the job to install the new release. Otherwise, I'll just let it run to completion. Thanks. :) Eric

The Phenix developers are pleased to announce that version 1.8.1 of Phenix is now available. Binary installers for Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows platforms are available at the download site: http://phenix-online.org/download/ Some of the new features in this version are: Graphical interface: ==================== - New GUIs: phenix.find_alt_orig_sym_mate General: ======== - Multiple bug fixes - New commands: phenix.erraser, phenix.merging_statistics - Added geometry restraints for over 400 non-standard amino acid entries Refinement: =========== - Overall B-cart now applied to individual atomic B-factors (restores pre-1.8 behavior) - Improvements to torsion NCS rotamer correction - Real-space refinement (including rotamer fitting) for twinned data New command: ============ - phenix.erraser: - New method from Fang-Chieh Chou and Rhiju Das (Stanford) combining Rosetta nucleic acid rebuilding with phenix.refine (requires separate installation of Rosetta 3.4 or more recent) Molecular Replacement: ====================== - Phaser updated to version 2.5.2: - Scattering from HETATM records that represent modified amino acids (e.g. MSE/SeMet) included so that maps no longer show holes for these HETATM records in the model; occupancies will not be reset. - Packing test was incorrectly applied to reoriented molecules where there was PTNCS Experimental Phasing and Model Building: ======================================== - AutoSol: - Scale of derivative in SIR (for RIP phasing) can be set with keyword "derscale" - AutoBuild: - Unassigned chains are now given the segid of "UNK" and are normally given chain ID="U" Ligands: ======== - eLBOW: - New option, --multiple-planes, to generate planes around double bonds - Saturated rings now have dihedral restraints to maintain chair conformation - REEL: - View relationships between ligands using PubChem fingerprint and tanimoto score. Miscellaneous: ============== - phenix.real_space_correlation: - Simplified command-line behavior - phenix.merging_statistics (new command): - Calculate statistics for unmerged data in a variety of formats, including <I/sigmaI>, R-merge, R-meas, R-pim, CC1/2 - References: Diederichs K & Karplus PA (1997) Nature Structural Biology 4:269-275 Weiss MS (2001) J Appl Cryst 34:130-135. - phenix.kinemage: - Improvements to handling of alternate conformations. - phenix.combine_models: - Combine two models, taking the best parts of each to create a new model For a full list of changes see: http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/CHANGES Please note that this publication should be used to cite use of Phenix: PHENIX: a comprehensive Python-based system for macromolecular structure solution.
