Ligand refinment problum
by Muhammad Bashir Khan 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

Hello all; I have a crystal structure with four molecules per unit of the cell. It contains two different ligands. Four are similar while the fifth one is different. Placed all the five ligands manually by coot. Now I want to refine. Before refinement, I run the ReadySet to generate the cif. file. It shows an error. Then I supply the cif. file of both the ligand coming from the elbow, It still shows the following error. screenshot attached. Any help would be appreciated.

rotamers in real space refine
by Leonid Sazanov 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Hi, We still have a problem of some Trp and Tyr residues going out of very clear density in high-resolution (~2.5 A) EM maps upon real space refine in phenix, even the latest version. Is there may be a more extensive rotamer library (including those pseudo-"outliers") available somewhere to be used in Phenix?

Migrating all phenix projects to a new location without breaking all of the file paths.
by Leonard,Paul G 16 Mar '21

16 Mar '21

Hi, Does anyone have instructions I can follow for how to move all of my phenix directories to a new location without messing up all of the file paths in each project. Our IT department wants to relocate files on our server which will change all of the top directory locations to something new so before that happens I think there is a way I can have a file that will allow me to recreate all of the phenix projects in the GUI with the new file paths but I can't recall how to do it. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Refining ligands in a structure
by Joel Tyndall 12 Mar '21

12 Mar '21

Hi folks, It has been a while since we have done much with phenix. We are refining a structure with a known ligand, voriconazole (exists on the pdb). We get an error regarding a lack of .cif file/restraints. Do we normally need to specify a cif file given this is a known ligand and can be retrieved in Coot? I assume that phenix would call on a known library of ligands/monomers that are known. Is this the correct library? phenix-installer-1.17.1-3660-intel-windows-x86_64\modules\chem_data\chemical_components\ Many thanks Joel Joel Tyndall | BSc(Hons) PhD Associate Professor in Medicinal Chemistry School of Pharmacy | He Rau Kawakawa University of Otago | Te Whare Wānanga o Otāgo PO Box 56 9054 Dunedin | Ōtepoti New Zealand | Aotearoa Ph: 64 3 479 7293 Skype: jtyndall Website | pharmacy.otago.ac.nz

Spatial query acceleration structure in cctbx?
by Russell M. Taylor II 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

As part of integrating the MolProbity tools more tightly with the CCTBX, I'm modifying the Probe code that will be shared by it and Reduce to use native CCTBX structures. One of the structures is a spatial map to accelerate the search for nearby atoms in a model. Before building my own (3D grid with near neighbors listed, ability to insert and remove atoms as they move), I wanted to check and see what was already available in the CCTBX. I looked at the page listing the CCTBX core objects and functions and did not see one, and searching for "spatial" and "accel" in the source tree did not turn up anything promising. Is there one already in there? If not, is this something that others would find to be a useful tool and, if so, where should it live? Otherwise, I'll make it part of Probe.

08 Mar '21

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the webinar on paired refinement to be held on March 23, 2021, from 3 PM (CET) to 4 PM (CET). This protocol provides an accurate estimation of the high-resolution cutoff (https://journals.iucr.org/m/issues/2020/04/00/mf5044/). The "PAIREF webinar" will be a free virtual event for up to 300 participants. The meeting will be recorded. Please register and receive your Zoom link here: https://kipl-indico.fjfi.cvut.cz/e/pairef We will cover: 1. Introduction to paired refinement. 2. Installation of PAIREF for CCP4 and/or PHENIX users. 3. Short tutorial (files will be provided). 4. Discussion. Feel free to contact us with your data. Best regards, Petr Kolenko, Martin Maly, Kay Diederichs and Jan Dohnalek
