I tried to use phenix.find_blobs command but it ended up with a Python crash. Any thoughts? Thanks a lot Oleg P.S. I tried to attached the input files but it seems to be over the allowed message size phenix.find_blobs protein_pdb_file_name=1LRI-H_refine_001.pdb map_coeffs_file_nam=1LRI-H_refine_001.mtz #phil __OFF__ banner #phil __ON__ find_blobs { input { protein_pdb_file_name = "1LRI-H_refine_001.pdb" data_file_name = None map_coeffs_file_name = "1LRI-H_refine_001.mtz" } output { blob_number = None } options { random_seed = 0 density_contour = 2.5 } } #phil __END__ Random number seed: 3628800 Adding PDB model from 1LRI-H_refine_001.pdb Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/oleg/phenix-1.11.1-2575/build/../modules/phenix/phenix/command_line/find_blobs.py", line 169, in <module> run( tuple(args) ) File "/home/oleg/phenix-1.11.1-2575/build/../modules/phenix/phenix/command_line/find_blobs.py", line 162, in run rc = execute(params) File "/home/oleg/phenix-1.11.1-2575/build/../modules/phenix/phenix/command_line/find_blobs.py", line 98, in execute bfo.setup_blobs(working_params.options.density_contour) File "/home/oleg/phenix-1.11.1-2575/modules/phenix/phenix/ligands/blob_finding_class.py", line 25, in setup_blobs contour=contour, File "/home/oleg/phenix-1.11.1-2575/modules/phenix/phenix/ligands/DensityBlobsClass.py", line 14, in __init__ self.map_residue = self.data_map["fofc_fft_map"] # fft map TypeError: 'fft_map' object has no attribute '__getitem__'

on use of pdbtools
by Smith Liu 21 Jan '17

21 Jan '17

Dear All, Can you show me how to use the phenix pdbtools to get the mate pdb of the original input pdb?Take the phenix pdbtools graphical interface for example, I think after I load the original pdb, I should click "options" and then click "Coordinates". Suppose my original PDB was X, Y, Z, and I want to get the mate PDB -X +Y, -X ,1/3 +Z, then how should I input the "Switch rotamers", "Translate", and "Rotate" for this specific example? Does it has anything to do with "Euler angle convention"? I am looking forward to getting a reply from you. Smith

polder vs fem vs composite omit map vs maximum entropy
by Murpholino Peligro 20 Jan '17

20 Jan '17

So I got a MR solution and maybe a dozen residues are not clearly defined (most of them in the surface) I used to compute the feature enhanced map but now I can see there are a lot of options in phenix->maps. Which one is better for me? (~130 residues, 1.5 A resolution, ~ 90% complete) Probably I should try them all, and compare them visually in coot with appropiate sigmas (taken from maps-> map comparison) (is that a good workflow? what you guys do?) ...but some of the maps take a lot of time to compute. So any help will be appreciated. Thanks

phaser.labin not respected
by Murpholino Peligro 20 Jan '17

20 Jan '17

When I do in the terminal: phenix.phaser phaser.hklin="out.mtz" phaser.labin="F(+),SIGF(+),F(-),SIGF(-),merged" phaser.model="prot.pdb" phaser.mol_weight=14400 phaser.model_rmsd=0.3 my log file says it is using F and SIGF: LABIN F = F SIGF = SIGF Why it does not respect the labels provided? or..Am I doing something wrong. PS MR is successful Thanks

help with Histidine flip in phenix refinement
by Vikram Dalal 20 Jan '17

20 Jan '17

Hi all, I have 4 Mn (2 Mn in each chain) in my protein structure. One Mn has 1 cordination with water, 1 cordination with His and 4 cordination with Asp. I model build the His in coot. Even this His is in bond range with Mn. But, when i refine this model in phenix. This His again flip other side (N terminal which has to cordinate with Mn goes to other direction). I am facing this problem only with His of A chain only while N of His of B chain are towards Mn only. Is there any option in pehnix refinment where we can exclude a specific residue or atom in refinment??

Phenix.refine Restraints: replicating refmac external restaints
by Elliot Nelson 19 Jan '17

19 Jan '17

Hi All, Looking to generate restraints for phenix.refine that are similiar/equivalent to external restraints in REFMAC. From over viewing the documentation i feel the correct way to do this is to generate bond restraints, i.e: Equivalent of: exte dist first chain A resi 38 atom C alte A second chain A resi 38 atom C alte B value 0.0 sigma 0.02 type 1 would be : refinment.geometry_restraints.edits { bond { action = *add atom_selection_1 = chain A and resid 38 and altloc A and name C atom_selection_2 = chain A and resid 38 and altloc B and name C symmetry_operation = None distance_ideal = 0.0 sigma = 0.02 slack = None } } If this is incorrect: Am i missing another way to create external restraint functionality in phenix, or am I making a more fundamental misunderstanding of how restraints are handled in both programs? Thanks in advance Elliot Nelson

QuantumBio Release: XModeScore & DivCon Discovery Suite v7.1
by Lance Westerhoff 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

Hello All- I trust everyone had a nice holiday break and a Happy New Year! Today, we are excited to kick the new year off with a new release of our QM/MM refinement and analysis plugin for the Phenix platform. The full announcement, along with links to the details and licensing information, is available at this URL: http://www.quantumbioinc.com/news/show/DDS-012017 Thanks to our many users - academic, industrial, and government - who have provided feedback and support for this effort. This plugin, available within the DivCon Discovery Suite version 7.1, has a number of significant improvements applicable to users of Phenix including: * QM/MM X-ray Refinement Standard: Version 7.1 represents a complete overhaul of our MM and QM/MM implementation for improved stability, performance, and usability. Our fully automated QM/MM implementation has now come out of "beta" status and it is ready for production use. The implementation also supports truncated residues, multiple regions, and integrated ligand atom typing. * Application: Fragment Based Drug Design: Phenix/DivCon coupled with the novel, our patent pending XModeScore tool has been applied to several key areas including protomer/tautomer determination, binding mode selection, crystal water positioning, and now even fragment-based screening. We have provided a tutorial of MOE-based fragment docking coupled with XModeScore-based selection. * New Structure/Chemistry Analyses: The question we often hear from new users is how one can evaluate the performance of QM and QM/MM X-ray refinement vs. more conventional methods. We have now packaged several before/after analyses within refinement including Clash Scores (using phenix.molprobity); Strain, Interaction Energies, and ZDD (using DivCon); and GBVI/WSA dG binding score prediction (using MOE - as available). * New Feature [beta] - Protonation: Fast, integrated protonation and hydrogen bond network optimization is a perpetual problem in the field (especially in X-ray crystallography). This method uses a combination of dead end elimination and graph theory along with crystallographic symmetry and density - as available - to quickly and accurately determine the correct protonation states of bound ligands, active sites, waters, and protein/DNA/RNA. If you are interested in using or evaluating our linear scaling, quantum mechanics software in your drug discovery efforts or if you would like to schedule an on-line or on-site meeting to discuss the technology, please email sales(a)quantumbioinc.com and let us know. And as with last year, we are waiving the license free for non-profit, academic users as per academic license agreement. Our academic, commercial, consulting, and evaluation licenses are available on-line (most for electronic signature): http://www.quantumbioinc.com/products/software_licensing Have a great 2017! -Lance ____________________ Lance M.
