refine and Table 1
by Andrea Smith 09 Jul '24

09 Jul '24

Hi everyone, * I have an issue with phenix.refine being unable to open generated pdb and mtz files in coot after refinement. It claims “ERROR: refinement output file not found!” This started happening after I opened the model in ChimeraX and used dssp command and then saved model as pdb that I used for further refinements. The files generated from phenix.refine actually exist, but instead of just being named e.g. myprotein_refine20.pdb they are called myprotein_refine19_refine020.pdb (yes there is an extra refine and an extra 0). This has never happened to me before. * I am also trying to generate "Table 1" for journal. I input my pdb into model file and mtz into reflection file. When I click Run, I get an error message: "a model is referenced in the phil which is not in the data manager". What does this mean? * I also tried to validate my model using pdb validate server, but when I upload cif files generated as output from phenix.refine, the server shows “Error processing uploaded files…Click to reload”. (However, when I use the Get PDB validation report task in phenix, I get a validation report pdf with no issues.) Is all of this caused by the changes the ChimeraX's dssp command did to my pdb? Thank you, Andrea Running Phenix 1.21-5207 from GUI on Ubuntu 20.04.3.

Hi Yi Min, my problem number 2 was indeed resolved after I restarted my system.

I don't know exactly what was causing the problem but I somehow managed to generate Table 1 after restarting the GUI. You might want to try restarting the software if you haven't tried so? Hope some experts will be able to help you with the problems soon 🤞 Best wishes,Yi Min ______________________________________________________________________________ From: phenixbb-bounces(a)phenix-online.org <phenixbb-bounces(a)phenix-online.org> on behalf of Andrea Smith <andrea.smith(a)uochb.cas.cz> Sent: 09 July 2024 14:25 To: phenixbb(a)phenix-online.org <phenixbb(a)phenix-online.org> Subject: [phenixbb] refine and Table 1 Hi everyone, * I have an issue with phenix.refine being unable to open generated pdb and mtz files in coot after refinement.

real_space_refine is un-glycosylating my protein
by robert＠oeffner.net 01 Jul '24

Hi, I am trying to do a refinement with phenix.real_space_refine (RSR) on an EM map with a protein and a known ligand (NAG is the monomer code). In the pdb file supplied the C1 atom in the NAG molecule is positioned nicely in the EM density at a distance of 1.38Å from a ND2 atom in an ASN residue of the protein. The O1 atom in the NAG molecule is not present suggesting there should be a covalent bond here I believe. Both ASN and the NAG molecule have the same chainID. The problem is that RSR moves the sugar away even though I have used command line options such as pdb_interpretation.automatic_linking.link_carbohydrates=True or even pdb_interpretation.automatic_linking.link_all=True. The atoms end up at an un-bonded distance of 2.85Å from each other after refinement to the point that one of them is poking out of the density. Are my phil parameters incorrect? I noticed that I don't get an error message if I misspell say pdb_interpretation.automatic_linking.link_carbohydrates to pdb_interpretation.automatic_linking.link_carbohydrate. RSR still runs to completion so I'm wondering if it actually interprets the PHIL parameter at all. Another peculiarity is that the log file comments that NAG is an unusual residue rather than stating it is a well-known carbohydrate. If anyone on here knows how to compel phenix RSR into creating automatic links to carbohydrates suggestions would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Rob
