phenix 1.10.1-2155 has no kicked map option
by Tarek DawoD 19 Nov '15

Dear Phenix developer why i could not see the kick map option under phenix.refine (GUI). i used to use it in the previous version. Kick in phenix 1.9.1692 no Kick in phenix 1.10.1-2155 Best RegardsTDawoD

Re: [phenixbb] Omit map output map files
by Fischmann, Thierry 17 Nov '15

What Pavel describes is how to get a “difference map”. But it is not an “omit map” per the original definition. The omitted part should never have been part of the model during any refinement step before the omit map is calculated. The purpose is to prevent bias. If the model has already been refined with a ligand, then the technique of simulated annealing refinement can be used to remove the bias after removing the ligand. This approximates an “omit map” (still one may argue not a real “omit map”, but close enough).

This is your ligand-omit map. Some would advise to do a round of refinement between steps 1-2 above in order to remove "memory from the ligand". I'm not convinced this is critical though.

Re: [phenixbb] [ccp4bb] question on mtz file
by Smith Lee 16 Nov '15

Dear Ian, The mtz was transformed from a cryo-EM mrc file by phenix.map_to_structure_factors, and it contains both label "F" and "F_ampl". When I do phenix.mtz.dump, the labels include H,K,L,F,PHIF,F_ampl,HLA,HLB,HLC,HLD. Smith On Sunday, November 15, 2015 11:03 PM, Ian Tickle <ianjt05(a)gmail.com> wrote: Hi, I assume what you mean is "what is the difference between the column labelled 'F' and the one labelled 'F_ampl' ?" in your MTZ file. Since MTZ column labels are effectively arbitrary and may be user-specified, that is clearly an impossible question to answer without knowing the history of your MTZ file. The column labelled 'SIGFP' would normally be the standard deviation of the 'FP' column (assuming there is such a column), though there's no absolute requirement that this be the case (it just makes life easier for everyone if it is!), so again it's impossible to say which amplitude column the SIGFP column is related to without knowing the history of your file. Bottom line is: you have not supplied sufficient information to make it possible to answer your question.

ionic radius
by Manoj saxena 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

Greetings, I was wondering if someone can enlighten me on the issue of how the metal ionic radius are defined in the protein structures. Is there any place in the refinement process where we can define it or it is automatically taken from some library in the phenix background. What is a good resource for knowing the ionic radii, I came across this one in an old blog post http://abulafia.mt.ic.ac.uk/shannon/ is there any other source that is used. Thanks so much in advance Manoj Saxena

Rigid body refinement
by Rex Palmer 12 Nov '15

12 Nov '15

We have 1.5A resolution data for a heterodimeric protein with linked A and B chains. Phenix MR has produced a promising solution. We would now like to perform an initial refinement using Phenix with the A chain and B chain individually treated as rigid bodies.Is this possible with Phenix and if so how?

wwPDB X-ray validation task force update
by Randy Read 12 Nov '15

12 Nov '15

Dear CCP4 and Phenix BB subscribers, The worldwide PDB X-ray validation task force is being reactivated to consider what updates need to be made to the validation criteria that are reported and the validation reports that are produced when you either deposit a new structure or use the standalone wwPDB validation server. We're already aware of a number of issues. Probably the biggest single issue is improving the validation of ligands, including numerical and visual analysis of fit to density. There's a lot of room for improvement of the validation of carbohydrates. Our agenda also includes discussions on metals, radiation damage and cis-peptides, among other topics. The task force will be meeting this coming Monday and Tuesday, so now would be a good time to provide feedback on the current state of the art and in particular on any aspects that I've left out of that list of the topics we'll be discussing. If you have constructive suggestions on any aspect of X-ray structure validation at the wwPDB, I would be happy to collect any emails I receive and convey them to the rest of the task force. It's also possible to send feedback at any time through the official channel by an email to validation(a)mail.wwpdb.org. * Are there current validation criteria that should be retired in favour of other criteria? * Are there missing criteria that should be added? * Are there ways in which the presentation of the validation results in the report could be clarified?
