Dear all, The registration deadline for the Gordon conference on diffraction methods in Structural Biology (15-20 July), is at the end of the week (June 17th). This is you last chance to register and get some of the places left!!! See the program and application information at: http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2012&program=diffrac Ana and Tassos

Ordered solvent DOD
by YoungJin 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

Hi, When you add waters by ordered solvent option, is it possible putting DOD for neutron data? I added normal waters and changed them to DOD by using ReadySet. But wondering if I want to go further refinement with ordered_solvent on, how can I keep adding DOD rather than HOH. Otherwise, do I have to change again by using REadySet? I also tried to change resid name as DOD but didn't help me. Best, Young-Jin

R/Rfree can not be reproduced
by 周文昌 03 Jun '12

03 Jun '12

Dear all, I had a weird case in which I can not reproduce the R/Rfree value for the same refinement. "same" means I run my refinement first and then I rerun with "phenix.refine *.eff --overwrite". The R/Rfree values for the two cases are different (0.2942/0.3190 vs 0.2942/0.3085). Should not they be the same always? the command I used: 1st. phenix.refine new-unique.mtz model.pdb xray_data.high_resolution=2.7 fix_rotamers=true strategy=individual_adp+individual_sites+tls ../tls_group_selections.params wxc_scale=0.05 refinement.input.xray_data.labels=FP,SIGFP --overwrite 2nd phenix.refine model_refine_001.eff --overwrite thanks, Wenchang

Re: [phenixbb] SA omit map
by Huang, Raven H 01 Jun '12

Hi all, Was the issue of SA omit map debated last July (involving Tiaard Pining, Pavel, and Folmer) resolved in the newer version of Phenix? Specifically, We'd like to generate the same map for a ligand. It is not for the refinement, but for publication (a reviewer asked us to cover the ligand with the map in a figure). Previously, I used cns to do that (sa_omit_map.inp). But we refined our current structures solely in Phenix. If there is a choice, I'd rather not to move everything to cns and set it up just for the sake of generating a omit map. Thanks, Raven ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Raven H.

partial partial occupancy
by Terry Lang 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

Hey Everyone, I have partially occupied ligand that I am trying model. The problem is that the ligand is in at least two conformations PLUS there is a side chain that occludes binding part of the time. In other words, I'm aiming for something like: Residue Conf A occ = 60%, Residue Conf B occ = 40%, Ligand Conf A 30%, Ligand Conf B 10%. Phenix is happy having a single conformation below 100% occupancy but seems to force the total sum of multiple occupancy residues to be 100%. Is there a way to turn that off for the ligand? Thanks Terry -- Paula Therese Lang Postdoctoral Scholar Alber Lab UC Berkeley/QB3

Occupancy refinement
by Jerome Nwachukwu 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

Hi: I have a 2.2Å structure containing a ligand in at least 2 alternate conformations. When the structure is refined via XYZ refinement + occupancy using phenix.refine, both ligand conformers are kicked out of the electron density. Is there a way to prevent this? Thank you, -Jerome Sent from my iPhone
