reference model restraints now support multiple reference model files
by Jeff Headd 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hi PHENIX users, After numerous user requests, we've added support to phenix.refine for multiple reference model input files. If you are refining a complex and have reference models for individual components, you may now input as many files as necessary. A parameter file would include: refinement { reference_model { file = "reference_A.pdb" file = "reference_B.pdb" } } Chain matching is still carried out automatically, so simply specifying the file paths is usually enough for the restraints to be generated for refinement. Details of chain matches are printed in the .log file, as well as in the reference_model scope in the .eff file. If anyone has questions, please let me know. Thanks! Jeff

positive density around heavy metals
by Subhani Bandara 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hi everyone, I have refined a protein with a metal-chelate complex at 1.4 resolution and saw positive density around some metals that are on a two fold. I refined those chelator complexes with fixed occupancy to avoid the negative density seen around it as they are partially occupied. Also I had to avoid xyz refinement after fixing them on special position, to avoid moving away from two fold. I have attached a figure of one of those complexes. If I increase occupancy then it shows negative density. How can I get rid of this positive density. Thanks in advance for the help Subhani

Generating a list of peak heights in a Bijvoet difference Fourier
by John Rose 27 Mar '12

Hi, Is there a way to get a print out of the peak positions and their heights from a Bijvoet difference Fourier map? I can generate the map and see the peals but I would like a listing also. Thanks, John Rose John Rose Ph.D. Associate Professor B204B, The Fred C.

merging in hires data in AutoBuild
by Desiree Ho-Chi Fong, Ms 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

Hello all, I am using PHENIX 1.7.3-928 and I am trying to merge a high resolution native data set with a MAD data set in AutoBuild. I have run AutoBuild through the GUI as well as on the command line. Here is the command I used: phenix.autobuild data=AutoSol_run_1_/exptl_fobs_phases_freeR_flags_1.mtz hires_file=hires.mtz model=AutoSol_run_1_/overall_best.pdb rebuld_in_place=True The data file, exptl_fobs_phases_freeR_flags.mtz from AutoBuild only includes data to the resolution of the MAD data set. The higher resolution native data was not incorporated into this mtz file. Looking at the log file, the hires data was merged with expel_fobs_phases_freeR_flags_1.mtz from AutoSol (with AutoBuild after) and followed by anisotropy correction. This was then used for density modification. However, the high resolution data was never included in the mtz file for refinement in AutoBuild. My understanding is that if hires data is specified in AutoBuild, the phases would be extended and included in map calculation as well as subsequent refinement. The output exptl_fobs_phases_freeR_flags.mtz from AutoBuild would also include the hires data for subsequent refinement. Is this correct? Thank you for your help. Desiree

R value difference in model vs data vs refinement
by Christian Roth 24 Mar '12

24 Mar '12

Dear all, I refined a structure in phenix quite good resolution (1.4 Ang.) After the last refinement I created the "table 1" to extract all data. Interestingly I got a warning due to small changes in the R values R/Rfree after Refinement. 15,46/18,16 Phenix modelvs.data gives me R/Rfree 15,34/18,07 Interestingly this is nearly exactly the value which I got after the first OHS scattering optimization from phenix R/Rfree 15,43/18,03 The differences are of course very small and negeligible, but I wonder why it happens. Esspecially taking into account that it was refined with phenix and in this case I would expect that both values match exactly. Thank you very much in advance Best Regards Christian

sequence file for DNA-Protein complex
by Sita Ram Meena 24 Mar '12

24 Mar '12

Hello Everyone. As per my knowledge we gives the Protein sequence .SEQ OR .DAT file format having only protein sequence in Caps and no gaps now, Please suggest me how we can give a sequence file for double stranded DNA-Protein Complex for the use in Phenix autobuild. Thank you. Best Regards Sita Ram

error generating output file overal_best pdb

Dear Phenix users, I have been running Phenix_Autobuild successfully for the last houra. The program generates the corresponding Autobuild_run_** folders as usually, however I got an error message when the program was trying to generate the overal_best.pdb file after the Autobuild cycle 3.

Rosetta and disulphides
by Morten Groftehauge 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Hi phenix-bb'ers, Is there anyway to make phenix.mr_rosetta take disulphide bridges into account? It's a rather enormous restraint on conformational space after all (wait is that a constraint or restraint? I get confused). Cheers, Morten -- Morten K Grøftehauge, PhD Pohl Group Durham University

about readyset
by Ming 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Dear all, I was using ready set to get my pdb ready. It automatically built the ligand cif file from scratch too. And the phenix.refine was fine with the files from ready set. Then I tried another method in which I threw everything that phenix.refine needs, including pdb file, ligand cif file, ligand pdb file, mtz. And phenix.refine ran smoothly again. But the refinement results were different between these two ways. The R fac is 1% different. I think ready set is only making the phenix.refine easier by generating ligand and building H, but if I do all the work of ready set and prepare the files for phenix.refine. Aren't they supposed to give the same results back? Can anyone help me here? Thanks a lot. -- Ming
