sub-unitary occupancy group restraints sum
by Kreitler, Dale 17 Apr '25

17 Apr '25

Hi, For refining an x-ray structure which has a ligand bound with multiple poses modeled as alternate confirmations, is there a way in phenix refine to maintain that the occupancy of each conformation is equal while allowing the sum total occupancy to vary (rather than equal 1)? I realize the [0,1] min/max occupancy values are adjustable parameters -- my interpretation of the docs is that this is not possible, but I thought it'd be worth asking. An example might be a ligand bound with partial occupancy near a rotational symmetry axis. Thank you, Dale ============================= Dale Kreitler AMX Beamline Scientist National Synchrotron Light Source II Building 745, Rm. 5L143 Upton, NY 11973 631-344-7318

Differential density peaks and hydrophobic residues
by Lucas Souza 04 Apr '25

04 Apr '25

Hi everyone, I am refining a ~3A structure using phenix 1.21.2-5419. I am at the final stages of the refinement but I am seeing some positive density on some hydrophobic residues (mainly Ile and Leu) together with a negative density around those residues (image attached). At first, I guessed that might be related to solvent mask, so I turned on optimize_mask. That did not solve the issue, although slightly decreased R values. Diffraction data was processed with autoproc+staraniso and does not seem to be twinned (normal intensity stats + map deteriorates if twinning refinement is applied). Does anyone have a guess about that? Best, Lucas -- Lucas Souza dos Santos Laboratório de Biologia Estrutural Aplicada (LBEA) Departamento de Microbiologia Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas II - USP Cidade Universitária - São Paulo - SP CEP 05508-000
