symmetry conflicts
by Daniel Larsson 22 May '20

22 May '20

I want to report an annoying bug in version 1.18.2-3874. My real_space_refine job ended with an error at the validation step saying Crystal symmetry mismatch between different files. This was when refining a PDB structure (first processed using ready_set) in a cryo-EM map. The “Ignore symmetry conflicts” checkbox was checked. The expected output files were generated, but no validation report was generated.

Hi all, I am a student from Halle in Germany. I really want to try out doing a wire model for proteins with the Byron Bending machine, yet I couldn’t find out where to get one and the Charles Supper Company discontinued selling these devices. I was recommended asking here for help. Is there anybody still having one of these devices in their labs or having one starting to rust in a box in the attic? I would be really statisfied trying out making some wire protein models with it. If someone would be willing to give such a machine and I would of course pay the shipping costs I would be happy to hear about. I would also be grateful if someone could give me a tip where I could still ask? Thanks.. All the best Taufiq

Alternative conformation on special position occupancy wrong
by Kaiser, Jens T. 20 May '20

20 May '20

Hi, We have a case of a cofactor with 222 symmetry in two states on a special position ( 2-fold). When modelling one state, Phenix correctly restrains the occupancy to 0.5. When putting state 2 in alternative conformation group B, the occupancy of altconf A and B is restrained to 1.0, instead of 0.5; it seems like it does not recognize that the alternative conformations are on a special position.

Generating a polder map using coordinates
by Petr Kolenko 20 May '20

Dear colleagues, Is there a way to calculate the polder map in a selected box using coordinates instead of atom selection as shown in the "Generating a polder map with the compute_box option" website? Best regards, Petr

Solving a protein - ligand structure
by Tom Vanmarcke 20 May '20

20 May '20

Dear, We are trying to solve a protein structure that contains a ligand (polyoxometalate). We found the ligand in the electron density but through the middle of the ligand goes a 2 fold axis. For this reason, we placed the occupendency of the ligand on 0.50. When we try to refine the structure using phenix.refine, the ligand breaks down even when adding a cif restrain file. The cif restrain file contains information about atoms, angles and bond lengths. Is there a way to fix this problem?

Is there a way to evaluate batch pdb models with Malprobity in phenix?
by Jing Liu 19 May '20

19 May '20

Hi, I had generate a batch of pdb models (40-100) in rosetta and am wondering whether there is a way to evaluate these models in batch with Molprobity. For example, can I use phenix command line to do it and how? Or should I download the Molprobity and do it on my local computer? Really appreciate if anyone can share their experience.

Phenix 1.18 and rotamer outliers
by Xavier Brazzolotto 18 May '20

18 May '20

I’ve installed the latest stable Phenix version (1.18). I’ve noticed a clear difference in the final statistics (MOLprobity) compared to the previous version (1.17). A bit more of Rama outliers and the most noticeable in the Rotamer outlier score. Is there any reason that could explain such behaviour ? I am using Phenix under MacOS.

unit cell dimesions
by Thomas, Leonard M. 13 May '20

13 May '20

Hello All, I have run into something that has me a bit puzzled. When finishing up a structure we ended reprocessing the data to get nice statistics for deposition, I don’t want to get into that discussion. Upon reprocessing the unit cell dimensions shifted slightly, 0.05 A or so. The PDB file used had the unit cell from the original solution/refinement while the data set cell dimensions were different. I ran the newly processed reflection data set through the reflection editor in order to transfer the Rfree set. Now the really odd thing is that I ended up reprocessing a couple times and transferring over the Rfree set once more. The cell dimensions on the final reflection file is from not the original reflection file/PDB but one that was used with an intermediate cutoff between the two, it is not the cell dimensions in the input reflection either. Just for completeness the data were processed using XDS at SSRL. My question is where does phenix.refine pick up the unit cell dimensions and were does the reflection file editor pick them up?
