metal refinement: adps and restraints
by Alexandra Marques 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hi, I am refining a protein with a Mo in the active site and which is bound to a cofactor and to a water molecule. After each refinement step there is always a lot of positive and negative density around the Mo and the cofactor molecules, although their occupancy refined to 1. I read this message http://www.phenix-online.org/pipermail/phenixbb/2015-May/022031.html, but I still have doubts about how to choose the refinement parameters. I know I have to select the Mo atoms to be refined anisotropically. And the other atoms, do I have to specifically select them to be refined isotropically?. For instance: Isotropic atoms: not element Mo Anisotropic atoms: element Mo I am asking that because I have been using TLS for the protein atoms during refinement, so I am not sure if it is correct to select the other atoms as isotropic or if I leave it in blank… My other problem is with the metal restraints. I am not sure about the ideal distance between the Mo and O atom but based on homologous protein structures I choose the following: refinement.geometry_restraints.edits { bond { action = *add atom_selection_1 = name MO and chain A and resname 4MO and resseq 1 atom_selection_2 = name O and chain A and resname O and resseq 2 distance_ideal = 1.900000 sigma = 0.050 } } However after the refinement this ideal distance interval (1.95-1.85) is not respected; I have 4 active sites and in some of them the Mo-O distance refines to 0.83 A although there is a lot of density for the water molecule to be at 1.9 A. How to make the restrainst work? Am I missing something? Thank you very much, Alexandra

accept MR solution even if the number of clashes is above the threshold
by Almudena Ponce Salvatierra 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Hi everyone, I am running Phaser (from Phenix) and while checking the .log file (it is still running) I realize that it found some solutions with a TFZ score over 7, but it won't take them I guess because the number of clashes is higher than allowed (>12, I guess they're not so many either). My models are poor and for so I would like to check these solutions that for now Phaser will reject. However in the input I don't want to increase the allowed number of clashes because this will then affect all the other solutions and this will take forever... So my question is: can I tell phaser somehow to write down/save the solutions for which the TFZ score will be higher than 7? Even though the clashes Thanks a lot in advance All the best, Almu -- Almudena Ponce-Salvatierra Macromolecular crystallography and Nucleic acid chemistry Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry Am Fassberg 11 37077 Göttingen Germany

Hi, Is there a tool which can calculate C-beta RMSD for equivalent amino acids of homologous structures, post C-alpha superposition? Sorry if its off topic, Thanks, Kaushik -- Stupidity is everyone’s birthright. However, only the learned exercise it! --Kaushik (28Oct2014)

Simulated annealing refinement for just one domain
by Appu kumar 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

Hello All, I was wondering if there is a simulated annealing refinement for the just one domain and keeping the other domain fix. I have a structure where the electron density is poorly defined which could be because of the some conformation of domain is different. Although the resolution of the data is 4A but channel has well defined density in the TM domain. Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions. Appu

Re: [phenixbb] labelit access in Phenix?

This should have been forward to the mailing list. Rob -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [phenixbb] labelit access in Phenix? Date: 2015-06-26 21:46 From: "R.D. Oeffner" <rdo20(a)cam.ac.uk> To: "Keller, Jacob" <kellerj(a)janelia.hhmi.org> Copy: Aaron Brewster <asbrewster(a)lbl.gov>, Nigel W Moriarty <NWMoriarty(a)lbl.gov> Hi Jacob, Labelit is not present on Windows in the last official release of Phenix from May last year, version 1.9-1692. But it is present in recent pre-releases of Phenix as command line tools. When you install Phenix on Windows a startup group is created that includes a command line prompt which recognises Phenix commands. From there you can execute all labelit command line tools. I think Nigel is about to put the recent Windows pre-release online on the Phenix website. Feel free to get in touch with further questions.

phenix-1.9-1692 pymol problem
by ChenWeiFei 27 Jun '15

Dear all, I just install phenix and I found phenix-1.9-1692/pymol/install and it says: INSTALLATION of the PyMOL Executable Build for Unix 1) Extract the appropriate archive. tar -zxvf pymol-0_99-bin-linux-x86-glibc23.tgz 2) Change directory into the root level of the archive. cd pymol 3) Run "./setup.sh" which will create "./pymol" with a record of the current working directory. ./setup.sh 4) Link or copy ./pymol into a directory that is in your path. ln -s `pwd`/pymol /usr/local/bin/pymol (or perhaps) cp pymol /usr/local/bin/pymol 5) Now try it! ./pymol I follow it and when I type pymol there comes an error: $ pymol /usr/local/bin/pymol: /usr/local/phenix-1.9-1692/pymol/pymol.exe: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory Is any one konw how to deal with it?

phenix.composite_omit_map
by Dyda 27 Jun '15

27 Jun '15

Dear Phenix list, I have generated an mtz file with phenix.composite_omit_map. It has labels assigned as 2mFo-DFC for F and PH2mFo-DFC for P. Now, I would like to generate a map file. I was trying to convince phenix.maps to use this mtz file to do that, however it didn't seem to like the labels. I tried both the GUI interface of phenix.maps and also tried to force feed it through the command line with a maps.param file. Neither of these worked, so I'm obviously missing something. Btw., Coot can open the mtz file and display the map, and it does look reasonable. This is phenix-1.9-1692 running under RHEL6. Thank you for your help.

Dear Weifei, I am neither in the Phenix nor in the CCP4 teams so I let me remark that it does not look reasonable, just a few minutes after Tom Terwilliger's mail : "I'll answer you on the Phenix BB as you've asked specific questions about Phenix tools." sending your mail (see below) asking explicitly phenix questions again through the CCP4bb. I do not think that you "disturb", you should not sorry for this, the BB are for this, but we need to follow the rules. I ask everybody to respect both ccp4 and phenix teams, who assures a lot of service and help for our community, and send your requests properly (for your own benefit), through the BB concerned. My another request (luckily not applicable to the Weifei mail) is that people always sign properly their mails and give their name when asking their questions : ccp4, phenix teams and other experts answer you openly and this looks quite weird seeing anonymous requests. Again, this is for your own benefit, for your better integration into the research community. With best regards, Sacha Urzhumtsev ________________________________ De : CCP4 bulletin board <CCP4BB(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK> de la part de ChenWeiFei <weifei_c(a)OUTLOOK.COM> Envoyé : vendredi 26 juin 2015 15:05 À : CCP4BB(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK Objet : [ccp4bb] phenix installtion problem Dear all, Sorry to disturb you. I have install Phenix to my computer Centos 7.0. When I want to use it I need to cd /usr/local/phenix-1.9-1692/ and . /usr/local/phenix-1.9-1692/phenix_env.sh then type phenix in the command line every time. I wish to use phenix in every terminate window and just type phenix. Some told me use export PATH to do it but I don't know how to do it. I am new to linux(centos) Thank you so much! Best, Weifei
