molecular replacemnt problem
by Appu kumar 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

Dear members, I am doing a molecular replacement of a transcription factor whose ligand binding structure(24000 Da) is available in PDB but not for the DNA binding(13000 Da). When i am searching for the two copies from ligand binding domain as a template model, i am getting very good solution but i am not getting any density for the DNA binding domain to build up in density. The space gorup is P 1 21 1 (4) and unit cell parameters are Unit Cell: 57.43 69.36 105.99 90.00 90.00 90.00. Please guide me how to get the complete model structure. Table below show the matthews statistics For estimated molecular weight 37000. Nmol/asym Matthews Coeff %solvent P(2.20) P(tot) _____________________________________________________________ 1 5.71 78.46 0.00 0.01 2 2.85 56.91 0.62 0.70 3 1.90 35.37 0.37 0.29 4 1.43 13.82 0.00 0.00 _____________________________________________________________ The phaser molecular replacement gives the following table. istogram of relative frequencies of VM values ---------------------------------------------- Frequency of most common VM value normalized to 1 VM values plotted in increments of 1/VM (0.02) <--- relative frequency ---> 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0 | | | | | | | | | | | 10.00 - 8.33 - 7.14 - 6.25 - 5.56 - 5.00 - 4.55 - 4.17 - 3.85 -- 3.57 --- 3.33 ------ 3.12 ---------- 2.94 **************** (COMPOSITION*1) 2.78 ----------------------- 2.63 -------------------------------- 2.50 ----------------------------------------- 2.38 ------------------------------------------------ 2.27 -------------------------------------------------- 2.17 ----------------------------------------------- 2.08 -------------------------------------- 2.00 -------------------------- 1.92 --------------- 1.85 ------- 1.79 --- 1.72 - 1.67 - 1.61 - 1.56 - 1.52 - 1.47 * (COMPOSITION*2) 1.43 - 1.39 - 1.35 - 1.32 - 1.28 - 1.25 - TABLE : Cell Content Analysis: SCATTER :N*Composition vs Probability:0|3x0|1:1,2: $$ N*Composition Probability $$ loggraph $$ 1 0.306066 2 0.00141804 $$ Most probable VM for resolution = 2.27817 Most probable MW of protein in asu for resolution = 92664.2 I have initially indexed the data in C2221 but Rfree was not decreasing so i reindexed the data in data in P121 space group keeping the Rfree flag of C2221. While analysing the symmetry mates , i found large space but no density. structure of Ligand binding domain is almost identical with 90% identity in sequence. I am stuck with this problem and don't know how to process further. I run the phenix.xtriage to evaluate the twining but it suggest no twining. When i reindex from C2221 to P21, the completeness of data reduced from 95 % to 35% whereas the map is very good and Rwork and Rfree are 26/31 for 2.2 resolution. I do not understand why the completeness of data reduced so much on reindexing. please Can anyone explain this phenomenon. Please give me your valuable suggestion. I will appreciate your effort. Thank you

install on ubuntu 12.04?
by Alastair Fyfe 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hi, I've installed previous phenix builds on ubuntu without problem, but with both 1.8.1-1168 and dev-1269 installers on 12.04, the command "./install --prefix=/home/afyfe" ends with "Error configuring: see /home/afyfe/phenix-installer-dev-1269/build-binary/intel-linux-2.6/svr/log/binary.log for details" and the tail of the binary.log file suggests: -- Creating files in build directory: "/home/afyfe/phenix-dev-1269/build/intel-linux-2.6" dispatcher_include_template.sh dispatcher_head.sh Please re-configure from scratch your cctbx_build:cd cctbx_build; /your/path/to/python ../cctbx_project/libtbx/configure.py [options] [modules] --- I don't see a cctbx_build directory under either the installer or destination directories. Any clues/suggestions? many thanks, Alastair

International Conference on Structural Genomics - Structural Life Science, Sapporo, Japan, July 29-Aug 1, 2013
by Terwilliger, Thomas C 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Dear Colleagues: On behalf of the organizing committee of the International Conference on Structural Genomics 2013 – Structural Life Science – (ICSG2013-SLS), we cordially welcome you to the conference, to be held in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, July 29th – August 1st, 2013. ICSG2013-SLS is intended to provide an overview for the most recent developments in Structural Genomics and its impact on research in biology, medicine and disease, and to foster international collaboration among researchers. You can see all the details of the conference at: http://www.c-linkage.co.jp/ICSG2013 . Registration for the conference is now open. The scientific topics covered in ICSG2013-SLS include the wider life science research fields with particular attention to drug discovery (small molecules and biopharmaceuticals), biotechnology and industrial issues while keeping strength in the high-throughput technologies and integration of hybrid methods. These technologies are now leading to the new field of “Structural Life Science”. ICSG2-13-SLS is partially supported by the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas; “Structural Cell Biology”, “Intrinsically Disordered Protein” and “Transient Macromolecular Complexes”, from Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) . In order to widen the opportunity to young and enthusiastic fellows to study more, we have organized several satellite workshops before ICSG2013- SLS. The topics will include “Small molecule screening”, “Automation of X-ray Structure Determination”, “Cell-free Protein Production”, “Automated NMR methods”, "Eukaryotic expression", “Interaction analyses" and "Bioinformatics”. We hope you also find the satellite workshops are informative and productive. The conference will be held in Keio Plaza Hotel Sapporo, in walking distance of Hokkaido University's main campus and Sapporo station. The summer in Sapporo is a great time to stay and enjoy the cool summer night of Japan. We are looking forward to welcoming you to Sapporo in the summer of 2013. Sincerely yours, Katsumi Maenaka, Ph.D. Chair, International Conference on Structural Genomics 2013 -Structural Life Science- (ICSG2013-SLS) Laboratory of Biomolecular Science and Center for Research and Education on Drug Discovery, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Hokkaido University, Japan Soichi Wakatsuki Chair of Program Committee, ICSG2013-SLS Photon Science, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Department of Structural Biology School of Medicine Stanford University

Tutorial of low resolution data?
by 李翔 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

Hi everyone, I will work on some low resolution data but have very little experience. (Data are about 4 A to 8 A) Does anyone know where I could find a tutorial for low resolution data please? It is best to work with Phenix, other software is fine. MIR or SAD or MR method will be appreciated and it is very helpful if the tutorial can talk about some details of the data processing. Cheers, Frank

Thanks Nat! read your message a bit later (I think I need to change from the digest format, so I receive each message as it comes), looking at http://phenix-online.org/pipermail/phenixbb/2013-March/thread.html Actually, your suggestion worked all right. (and by sourcing the phenix_env.sh as you point out, it's actually the same as the command line -installer of course) Don't know why the errors appeared before, but in any case, now it's running fine. Thank you for your help Alejandro > Not sure what's going on here - I will check it out today. There's > one more option however that should be the safest: did you try the > graphical installer yet?

problems installing latest phenix on mac osx lion
by Alejandro Buschiazzo 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hello, I 'm trying to install phenix 1.8.2-1309 on a Macbook Pro (os x 10.7.5). First tried the binary installer proposed (which is indicated for os x 10.6.7) It didn't work, ending with "fix_mac_python: caught error - exiting." I spotted in the bb that this could've happened because the downloaded installer was somehow corrupted, tried downloading it again, but same result. Tried then the source installer: everything OK - except for wxPython, giving this error > WXPYTHON: > Using wxOSX_Cocoa build of wxPython 2.9 alpha version > > building wxPython-src-2.9.4.1 > ERROR: installation of wxosx_cocoa failed > > ERROR: installation of wxpython failed ...now I can work with command lines, but the GUI won't work of course. Your help is appreciated Alejandro -- Alejandro Buschiazzo, PhD Research Scientist Unit of Protein Crystallography Institut Pasteur de Montevideo Mataojo 2020 Montevideo 11400 URUGUAY Phone: +598 25220910 int. 120 Fax: +598 25224185 http://www.pasteur.edu.uy/pxf
