Simulated annealing map
by Appu kumar 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Thank you Terwilliger, Thomas for you quick reply, for guiding me on how to make simulated annealing omit map. Now i am able to make it but i have one question. i want to show the SA omit map of ligand with the map of omitted region around ligand. I tried it, i got the map also, but the omitted map of region around ligand is show in recatangular box which is not as great as of ligand inside the omitted region. Thank you

We are offering RapiData 2013, the fifteenth offering of our popular course: Rapid Data Collection and Structure Solving at the NSLS: A Practical Course in Macromolecular X-Ray Diffraction Measurement The course will be held 21-26 April 2013: http://www.bnl.gov/RapiData/. Students could be at any level from advanced undergraduate to full professor. The course should accommodate 48 students total. We encourage all students to bring their own specimens for data collection, and to bring old data for the data-reduction and structure-solving tutorials. Please read the Course Announcement at http://www.bnl.gov/RapiData/. You'll see that many experts in the field will be available for lectures and tutorials. You'll find the application materials on the Course Application tab at this site. For the eleventh time we will hold a short lecture course on the fundamentals of crystallography for roughly five hours on Sunday 21 April. The body of the RapiData course really requires that students have a healthy knowledge of crystallography. For potential students who have some experience but are shaky about fundamentals, this course will help. There will be a small additional fee for the fundamentals course, to pay for Saturday night accomodations and food on Sunday morning and noon. Latin American Scientists: Several scholarships are available, from the International Union of Crystallography, to pay partial travel and subsistence costs for Latin-American students and junior faculty (under 40 yrs).

Real Space CC Raw Data
by Eddie Pryor 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hi, All, To satisfy a reviewer, I would like to include a supplemental figure that contains, among other things, Real Space CC for each residue. I was wondering where this raw data might be stored so that I can parse and create a graph with it. The only thing I could find was in the Refine_###_info.txt log file, but that only included values less than 0.7. I know that all of the residues / CC values can be listed through the GUI, but with ~900 residues in my ASU, this is something I do not want to do manually! Thanks! --Eddie Pryor

Is this a Phaser bug or am I misinterpreting ?
by Phil Jeffrey 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Phaser from CCP4 6.3.0 built via fink running on OSX 10.6.8 in 64-bit mode. This is a snippet from a much larger run, ongoing. In multiple instances the order of the LLG and the Z-score in the translation function are not in sync: (42.16, 40.23, 40.18 vs 5.14, 5.24, 4.82) and looks like the Z-scores are still shown in the peak rank order before rescoring, while the LLGs are after rescoring.

Re: [phenixbb] log files for refinement (was: completeness using Intensities vs. structure factor)
by Pavel Afonine 05 Dec '12

Hi Yarrow, thanks for sending log files. Completeness reported in log files reflects the content of input MTZ data files: *32.log:* (...) F-obs: (...) Miller array info: (...)/reflectionsFreeR_1.38A.mtz:F_New(+),SIGF_New(+),F_New(-),SIGF_New(-),systematic_absences_eliminated Observation type: xray.amplitude Type of data: double, size=325598 Type of sigmas: double, size=325598 Number of Miller indices: 325598 Anomalous flag: True Unit cell: (64.3967, 68.0966, 103.663, 90, 96.1167, 90) Space group: P 1 21 1 (No. 4) Systematic absences: 0 Centric reflections: 4910 Resolution range: 43.7941 1.3786 Completeness in resolution range: 0.901282 Completeness with d_max=infinity: 0.901259 (...) and *35.log:* (...) I-obs: (...) Miller array info: (...)/reflectionsFandIFreeR_1.38A.mtz:IMEAN_New,SIGIMEAN_New,systematic_absences_eliminated Observation type: xray.intensity Type of data: double, size=181940 Type of sigmas: double, size=181940 Number of Miller indices: 181940 Anomalous flag: False Unit cell: (64.3967, 68.0966, 103.663, 90, 96.1167, 90) Space group: P 1 21 1 (No. 4) Systematic absences: 0 Centric reflections: 4910 Resolution range: 43.7941 1.3786 Completeness in resolution range: 0.992202 Completeness with d_max=infinity: 0.992164 (...) The numbers above are reported before anything else is done, that is they reflect exactly what's in input MTZ files. Somehow you managed to loose ~10% of data when converting Iobs into Fobs. How did you do this conversion? In theory this is possible since French&Wilson Iobs->Fobs conversion may result on some number of reflections lost. Note, when phenix.refine does IMEAN->Fobs conversion (35.log file) this does not result in ~10% loss. So based on looking at log files I can say it's not phenix.refine that manipulated your data or reported it wrong. You lost reflections at previous steps.

completeness using Intensities vs. structure factor
by Yarrow Madrona 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Hi, (Phenix v.1.8.1-1168) I recently refined a structure using experimental Intensities and compared it to the same structure refined with calculated structure factors. I know if you provide intensities Phenix.refine will convert to structure factors. I am not sure if it runs truncate or what. Anyway, I get this in the log file which matches my completeness in the scala log file: Completeness in resolution range: 0.992202 Completeness with d_max=infinity: 0.992164 When I run using structure factors (Truncate run in Scala) I get the following: Completeness in resolution range: 0.901282 Completeness with d_max=infinity: 0.901259 Perhaps Scala did not merge anomolous and non-anomolous data? This does not may a whole lot of sense to me. Is some data thrown out? Can someone explain? Thank you. -- Yarrow Madrona Graduate Student Molecular Biology and Biochemistry Dept.

parameters for averaged kick maps
by Jose M de Pereda 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Dear all, I would like to compare averaged kick maps obtained using different “kick sizes”. Is it possible to define the kick size and the number of kicks in phenix.refine and/or phenix.maps? In phenix.refine, the “ordered_solvent” section has keywords to control the generation of kick maps: kick_map { kick_size = 0.5 number_of_kicks = 100 } But, it seems to me that these can not be used during the generation of maps or maps’ coefficients. Related with this issue, does phenix.refine always use the same kick size or does it adjust it ad hoc (e.g. based on ML error estimates)? Thanks a lot, Jose -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Jose M de Pereda, PhD Instituto de Biologia Molecular y Celular del Cancer (IBMCC) Spanish National Research Council - University of Salamanca Campus Unamuno s/n E-37007 Salamanca, Spain Phone: +34-923-294817 Fax: +34-923-294795 http://xtal.cicancer.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------

table 1
by So Jay 03 Dec '12

Hi, I was using generate table 1 utility in phenix-1.8.1-1168. The data was processed with HKL2000 and model was refined using Autobuster. In the table I find two entries for Multiplicity and R-sym were blank.I was wondering if there is any particular reason for this. ThanksJay

Similar 2Fo-Fc maps, very different e/A^3 levels (absolute levels)
by Sam Stampfer 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Dear Phenix group, I am trying to decide which electron density map to use for rebuilding my structure in Coot. Both 2Fo-Fc maps appear quite similar at the 1 sigma level but the absolute electrons per cubic Angstrom (e/A^3) is very different. When contoured at 1.00 rmsd in coot, these are the e/A^3 levels (Coot calls them absolute levels): Map #1 2Fo-Fc: 0.0044 e/A^3 Map #2 2Fo-Fc: 0.0832 e/A^3 Map #1 was generated using a twinning operator that is typically required for this crystal form. Map #2 was generated without the twinning operator and it tends to have slightly better 2Fo-Fc density, and there is a bit more density (or noise?) in the Fo-Fc map. The structure was refined in Phenix and gave a similar Rfree regardless of whether a twinning operator was used. What does it mean to have this 20-fold difference in electrons per cubic Angstroms for my maps? Which map should I use? Thanks for your help! -Sam PS: The Fo-Fc map in Map#2 also contours at a much higher absolute e/A^3 level.
