Hello, I am trying to run Phaser/SAD or Phaser/MR_SAD (GUI using defaults), but I get the following error: "Error running main function (INPUT): LLG completion peak selection method not recognized". Thank you for your help Egor

MSE out density after phenix.refine
by Pavel Afonine 16 Nov '13

Hello, anyone experiencing problems related to MSE residues being pushed out density after phenix.refine run should update to next Phenix nightly build, which should fix this problem. Please let me know otherwise off-list. Pavel

MR_Rosetta prerefine question
by Heather L Condurso 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Dear all, I am trying to use the rosetta prerefinement fuction of MR_rosetta to complete a homology model with missing stretches of amino acids. Everything runs fine and residues are being added to fill the gaps using the fragment files, but rosetta is also altering parts of the model which should already be well placed. Is there a way to tell Rosetta only to prerefine certain residues? I've been following the command line suggestion: phenix.mr_rosetta \ seq_file=seq.dat \ data=coords1.mtz \ search_models=coords1.pdb \ run_prerefine=True \ number_of_prerefine_models=1000 \ fragment_files = test3.gz \ fragment_files = test9.gz \ rescore_mr.relax=False \ rosetta_models=100 \ ncs_copies=2 \ space_group=p212121 \ use_all_plausible_sg=False \ nproc=200 \ group_run_command=qsub Thanks, Heather Condurso condurso(a)bc.edu

Re: [phenixbb] Phenix.Rosetta_refine on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Hi All, I tried Jan's tutorial and finally I was able to install and ran phenix.rosetta with test set 1yjp successfully. However, when I tried my data, I always got *"terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'"* Google suggests maybe memory is not enough. I used VirutalBox and assign 8gb memory to it. My protein has ~3000 residues. I guess this will use more memory but how much RAM I need? Or the error is due to some other problem? Thank for any inputs.

structure factor labels in phenix.refine
by Tanner, John J. 08 Nov '13

08 Nov '13

I have two questions about which structure factor amplitudes are refined against in phenix.refine. 1. Which structure factor amplitude is used in refinement when the labels in the .def file are the following? labels = "F-obs(+),SIGF-obs(+),F-obs(-),SIGF-obs(-)" 2. Is anomalous data used in the refinement when the labels are as follows? labels = "F,SIGF,DANO,SIGDANO,ISYM" I ask these questions because I am wondering which structure factor amplitudes to deposit, and I am trying to rationalize differences between R-factors from refinement and Generate Table 1.

few questions about resolving new structure through MR
by Zhihong Yu 07 Nov '13

07 Nov '13

Hi, all I'm a rookie in resolving a brand new structure. I have some questions for my current case and look forward to some suggestions. Now I’m working on a protein like this: N-ter(55aa)—domainA(110aa)—linker(30aa)—domainB(150aa)—C-ter(20aa), I got a diffraction data just to 3.5Å, and there is no complete homology structure in pdb bank, but only a homology structure (named as structureX later) for domainB with ~30% sequence identity, so I have some questions as following: 1. Is it possible to find a resolution through MR approach using structureX as a search model? Especially considering that the resolution is only 3.5Å. Currently I just tried once using phaser and refine the structure for 3 cycyles, I can get a R/Rfree of 0.45/0.55, and it looks like most of backbone in the structureX, especially those within helix or sheet, can be well described by 2Fo-Fc density. Is this primary result promising or not? 2. If it’s possible, what’s the general optimal procedure I should follow? Really thanks for any advice and suggestions! Zhihong

Issue with SeMet residues
by Mark Wilson 07 Nov '13

07 Nov '13

Dear PHENIX users and developers, I am refining a structure containing SeMet residues at atomic (1.05 Å) resolution. The model was initially refined in Refmac5 and behaved as expected (i.e. reasonable R factors and agreement with maps). I've used this final Refmac5 model as a starting point for refinement in PHENIX 1.8.4 with standard settings, as below. phenix.refine data.mtz \ refinement.input.xray_data.labels="F, SIGF" model.pdb \ main.use_experimental_phases=false \ refinement.main.number_of_macro_cycles=5 output.prefix="model_refine"> phenix_refine_1.log Strangely, the conformations of the MSE residues are changed quite significantly after refinement in PHENIX, departing both from electron density and from the prior model. Any help would be appreciated. Best regards, Mark Mark A.

Issues using reference model with Autobuild
by Dan McNamara 07 Nov '13

07 Nov '13

Hello all, I'm hoping to troubleshoot a problem with autobuild and the use of a reference model. Autobuild has been always failing once it gets to the initial refinement step and attempts to add reference model restraints. I've included my autobuild parameterization. Refinement is where it dies and the contents of LAST.LOG and my error log file are below too. I'm not sure how to get the reference model file location properly interpreted. I even tried manually moving the reference PDB into the AutoBuild_run_X_/ and TEMP0/ folders as they're generated to no avail.

Sigmas of F+ and F- equal in _data file
by Tanner, John J. 07 Nov '13

07 Nov '13

I have a question about the _data.mtz file that phenix.refine outputs (version 1.8-1069). It appears that sigmaF+ equals sigmaF- for each reflection in the _data.mtz file, although they were unequal in the input .mtz file. You can compare the input mtz and the output _data.mtz file by viewing these links: http://faculty.missouri.edu/~tannerjj/input.jpeg http://faculty.missouri.edu/~tannerjj/samesigma.jpeg Thanks.

real-space refinement

Hello, beginning with phenix 1.8.3, the individual_sites_real_space option will not run globally if, e.g., R < 0.25. Is there a way to force the original behaviour?
