xtriage and anomalous difference assessment
by Francis E Reyes 13 Apr '10

13 Apr '10

Hi all Is xtriage's assessment of anomalous signal depend on the space group chosen? (i.e. measuring genuine I+/I- or I+/I- related by symmetry operation) ?

SAD Phasing
by Rajagopalan, Senapathy 13 Apr '10

13 Apr '10

Hi Everyone, I have been trying to solve a structure of a protein-DNA complex using SAD data, but am running into problems and have some questions on how phenix solves it. From Mathews coefficient calculation, I know that my protein binds to the DNA as a dimer in the asymmetric unit. And when I use this information to specify the the number of heavy atoms to look for, I always get more (1.5-2X, depending on what resolution cutoff I use) in the final heavy atom sites pdb file. More importantly, the map looks 'incomplete' in the sense that part of one of the strands in the double stranded DNA is missing. My question is if this is the result of phenix using some incorrect sites (such as with low occupancy) while phasing. If so, then how can I fix it. I have tried deleting the low occupancy sites and reading the edited heavy atom sites file explicitly using sites_file=ha.pdb, but it doesn't seem to help. Also, if I just use solve to find the heavy atom sites, those tend to be different too... Any suggestions here would be appreciated. Thanks Sena Methodist. Leading Medicine.

Group ADP syntax question
by Peter Grey 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

Hi Phenix people, Is it possible to have One B-factor per residue for one part of the structure and for other parts to use One isotropic B per selected group of atoms. For example to have one B-factor for the entire chain A and have One B-factor per each residue in chain B ? Thanks, -- Peter

Dear all, I was trying to generate a model using the sculpt program in phenix. when I run it with both alignment file and pdb file I get the following message: Processing PDB... Next model: ''... Next chain 'A'... No matching alignment for chain 'A'; delete PDB output requested Executing design... Everything is deleted; output file empty Any help with this... thanks, Shya

Optimization of the mask parameters in PHENIX
by Pascal Egea 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

Dear All, I am using the latest Phenix version (356) with the GUI and I would like to see the effect of optimization of the mask parameters. How can I do this with the GUI in the latest version ( I am also using the secondary structure restraints) in the manual I can see the command line phenix.refine model.pdb data.mtz optimize_mask=true however I don't see such option in the GUI (I can't see it listed in the whole list of commands) Thanks in advance -- Pascal F.

Superimposing homologues
by Young-Jin Cho 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hi Phenix users, I am wondering if phenix or other program provide superimposing pdb files as best as possible(!) I used Superpose in CCP4 but only worked for same sequence of pdb files. So my first question is how I can superimpose more than two different pdb files that are homologues (including water or not). Of course you can do similar thing in coot or pymol, but I wonder if we have better ways to do this kind of job. Secondly, if things working, to do better superimposition, is it possible to input core domain residues information vs. flexible residues information while superimposing. Thirdly, if I have 10 different structures, is there any way to superimpose into such as a calculated average structure of them and fit others into this averaged structure for better comparison? As always, thanks in advance, Young-Jin

Dear all, I want to do fix rotamers with the phenix with my 3A resolution virus data. Just do some try out. But I got the memory error listed below: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/phenix-1.6.1-348/phenix/phenix/command_line/refine.py", line 11, in <module> command_line.run(command_name="phenix.refine", args=sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/local/phenix-1.6.1-348/phenix/phenix/refinement/command_line.py", line 89, in run call_back_handler=call_back_handler) File "/usr/local/phenix-1.6.1-348/phenix/phenix/refinement/driver.py", line 1170, in run call_back_handler = call_back_handler) File "/usr/local/phenix-1.6.1-348/phenix/phenix/refinement/strategies.py", line 570, in refinement_machine params = params.fit_side_chains) File "/usr/local/phenix-1.6.1-348/cctbx_project/mmtbx/refinement/fit_rotamers.py", line 779, in run map_sel = flex.abs(residual_map_data) < params.filter_residual_map_value MemoryError Does anybody has this problem before ? and know how to fix this ?

applying B_factor and scale correction to an MTZ
by Francois Berenger 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hello, Is there a tool to apply both the scale and overall B-factor correction found by the wilson plot to a given MTZ file? After applying these corrections, is there another way than redoing wilson to check that the output MTZ is on absolute scale? Thanks a lot, Francois.

Hi Young-Jin, phenix.superpose_pdbs fixed.pdb moving.pdb will do all these things for you except making the average structure.
