how to make covelent link of BME with Cys and refine
by Rajeshwer Sankhala 15 Feb '13

Hello Nat, Thank you so much for your suggestion. I did run phenix refinement in nightly build phenix version with " intra_chain = True " command. This time refinement worked but again in out put pdb no disulfide bond is estabilished between cys and BME. I provided .pdb, .mtz and .cif files as input. Well can you please suggest me how i can provide both BME and Cys-BME (SS bond) restrains in .cif file? if that happens then i feel refinement should work. I am attaching my .cis file below please have a look and tell me if anything wrong with this?

HETATM automated chain assignment
by Talon Romain 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

Hello to the Phenix bulletin board community, I would like to know if I could find a tool to automatically assign HETATM atom (or even, water molecules) to the nearest protein chain ? In my case, I have 4 protein chains in the asymmetric unit : A, B, C and D. I would like to assign each ions and each ligands (which are numerous) with the chain letter of the nearest residue that coordinate them. Usually, I rename everything by hand but as the in-house program of the PDBe AutoDep deposition tool automatically do that... I beg your pardon if this question has just been posted here. I didn't find any tool either in the Phenix Suite or in the "Extensions" and "Calculate" menus of the Coot program (v0.7). Best regards. Romain Talon

how to make covelent link of BME with Cys and refine
by Rajeshwer Sankhala 14 Feb '13

Hello Sabine Yah i could specify link in the pdb and also could see it in coot but when i go for refinement then bond is broken. I given pdb mtz and cif files in refinement. The only problem i feel could be that i don't have restrains for SS bond in cif file but i don't know how to generate SS-bond restrains. Thanks RAJ

Thanks Nigel, I am using phenix 1168 but when i type intra_chain = True command with phenix.refine it gives error message as "intra_chain = True is unknown command". The actual command i used was " phenix.refine .pdb .mtz .cif intra_chain = True". can you please explain how to resolve it. Raj

Excellent point. The difference between using bme and cme is rather ideological. I would say that incorporating cme implies that your protein was somehow synthesized with non-canonical amino acid. Usind bme seems more in line with what actually happens - betamercaptoethanol forming disulfide bond with a cysteine. In practical sense, both things work. Until IUCr comes up with a convention, one is free to ignore ideological considerations :) -------- Original message -------- From: Abhinav Kumar <abhinavk(a)slac.stanford.edu> Date: To: phenixbb(a)phenix-online.org Subject: Re: [phenixbb] how to make covelent link of BME with Cys and refine How about using residue CME which is the CYS and BME linked together. CME is included in the CCP4 monomer library, and so Phenix should accept it without a dictionary file.

How to export difference patterson map in PHENIX
by 李翔 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Hi everyone, I got a native and derivative dataset (by soaking) of my crystal and want to do MIR in phenix. I am wondering whether there is a way for me to export the difference Patterson map so I could have a better idea that whether the heavy atom is really in the crystal? Cheers, Frank

FW: phenixbb Digest, Vol 87, Issue 3
by Phoebe A. Rice 10 Feb '13

Hi, Although its theoretically possible, I've never had 5-Br-dU cause a problem. My approach would be to pick the strand with more T's and get every T replaced with 5-Br-dU, unless the 3' nt is a T (you pay a lot more for 3' modifications). We have had issues where crystals wouldn't grow with a heavily 5-I-dU modified DNA, presumably because Iodine is significantly bigger than a the 5-methyl of T, and it annoys the protein. If you've got good footprinting data, you may be able to guess where the protein will "care" about the surface of the major groove, and avoid putting iodines in those regions. If not, its probably faster to just order several oligos and try them all. If you've got a lot of T's and are worried about locating all those heavy atoms, I'd go for one derivative with a couple of paired 5-I-dU's (in spots where you have two T's in a row) in hopes that that will give you a toehold on solving the Patterson, and then a 2nd where every T on one strand is brominated, which may provide more phasing power. Note that both of these pop off in the x-ray beam, so collect your anomalous data first and fast. Also note that if you're lucky, you can get an extra large delta f' by subtracting the last data set from the first ("radiation induced phasing"). Hope that helps!
