Is Phenix able yet to use the ML target function with twinned data? Is it in the works?

differences in refinement stats between phenix-dev-2219 and -1.9-1692
by Ezequiel Noguera 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

Thank you very much, Pavel. I don't save H's when I modify the model in coot (the input PDB file that I sent you was the output from coot). I did the refinement again, now in version 2247, without NCS. I got the same results, higher R factors and RMS deviations for the newer version. I got better results when I used "update waters" (both in Rfactors and RMS). Below, I list the statistics for refinement without updating waters. Significant differences remain. Could it be any difference in settings of default parameters between versions? version: dev-2247 Start: r_work = 0.1687 r_free = 0.2011 bonds = 0.046 angles = 1.321 Final: r_work = 0.1753 r_free = 0.2040 bonds = 0.030 angles = 0.593 version: 1.9-1692 Start: r_work = 0.1651 r_free = 0.2018 bonds = 0.013 angles = 1.409 Final: r_work = 0.1663 r_free = 0.2017 bonds = 0.011 angles = 1.321

Hi Ezequiel, just to make it clear: torsion-angle NCS, Optimize X-ray/stereo weight are *not* the default settings, therefore you did customize the refinement parameters. At this resolution (1.3A) you do not need to use NCS restraints. Also, you say you used "Automatically add H's" however the PDB file you sent me does not contain any H atoms. Furthermore, the PDB file header says H are present: REMARK MODEL CONTENT. REMARK ELEMENT ATOM RECORD COUNT OCCUPANCY SUM REMARK C 1275 1047.00 *REMARK H 2029 1649.00 * REMARK O 559 488.50 REMARK N 315 263.00 REMARK S 6 6.00 REMARK Cu 4 2.89 REMARK TOTAL 4188 3456.39 So overall this make an impression that something has gone wrong. Way forward: 1) Take the file you sent me; 2) Add H atoms: phenix.reduce model_no_h.pdb > model_with_h.pdb 3) Use new file with H atoms added to run refinement. The only setting different from defaults should be "Optimize X-ray/stereo weight". Perhaps you can also enable automated water update. I just did all this myself and got nicely refined model with Final: r_work = 0.1624 r_free = 0.1939 bonds = 0.010 angles = 1.030 Corresponding PDB and MTZ are sent in a separate email that goes to you only (off mailing list).

autosolve density modification question
by Scott Horowitz 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

Hi, a quick question: if when running autosolve on SAD data, if I set the parameter build = false, will that disable all model building, including any model building that would be a part of the density modification process? I'm especially curious about the case if build = false, but mask_type = histograms. I am currently assuming that the histogram matching does not use model building as part of it, and would like to know if this interpretation is correct.

Phenix dev-2247 fails to start
by Chen Zhao 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

Dear developers, I am now having some troubles initiating the most updated nightly built dev-2247. I have to use this version because it is supposed to have a bug fixed based on my bug report in November. My machine is running Debian 7 with kernel version 3.2.0-4-amd64. And the pheinx installation file I downloaded is the 64 bit linux version for CentOS 5. The symptom is that after I called phenix from a terminal window, there is an error message saying "local 'en_GB' cannot be set" (which is always the case and which does not seem to matter). After that, phenix GUI did not start at all, but ps command shows two python2.7 processes running. Running phenix from command line seems to work fine. Before switching to this version I was running the stable version 1.10.1-2155, and have no problem. Is there any simple fix? If not, I will probably just stick to the command line version for the moment. Thanks a lot, Chen

Hello, I'm working in a refinement that I started some time ago. I noted that repeating the same refinement task using a newer version of phenix, the refinement statistics Before and After refinement are different from values of the old version (I used "restore job" from the Job history to repeat the same task in the two versions installed in the same PC). Any explanation? I'm worried about the rms deviation. Thanks in advance. new version:R-work: start=0.1697, final=0.1761R-free: start=0.2011, final=0.2053Bonds: start=0.046, final=0.029Angles: start=1.321, final= 0.631 old version:R-work: start=0.1651, final=0.1657R-free: start=0.2018, final=0.2009Bonds: start=0.013, final=0.013Angles: start=1.409, final= 1.411
