MR with 1000+ aa chain
by Meghan Miller 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

Hello, I am trying to run AutoMR using a chain that is 1014 amino acids. The output pdb starts back at 0 once it reaches 1000. Is this a bug, or user error? Thanks, Meghan

XDS has 9 shells whose limits are calculated internally, and one overall. For XSCALE, one can specify up to 20 RESOLUTION_SHELLS .

Thanks Pavel! I will wait and see what Ralf says regarding defining the symmetry operator. If I am using the GUI for phenix.refine should I create a new file with the bond definition you mention and include it as one of the starting files or should I edit the Refine_*.eff file that gets created and insert it somewhere there? ___________________________________________________________ Joseph P.

Hi Ralf and Pavel, Unfortunately, Phenix didn't recognize a disulfide bond should exist between the sulfur atoms of DTT and the side chain sulfur atom of the cysteine residue in question. I position everything well in the Fo-Fc and 2Fo-Fc maps and ensured the two sulfurs were approximately 2.1 A apart. However, after refinement the DTT molecule moved so the two sulfurs in question where nearly 3 A away. Maybe this is because it is a mixed disulfide between a DTT molecule and a side-chain Cys rather then what most programs expect which is a disulfide between two Cys residues. Is it possible I need to define the complete chemical entity as a hetatm (the disulfide linked Cys residue? Is there a way to specify that a covalent bond should exist between the SG atom of the Cys in question and the S atoms of DTT with DTT lying across the crystallographic two-fold given its internal 2-fold symmetry?

DTT mediated disulfide crosslink across a crystallographic two-fold!
by Joseph Noel 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

Hi Phenix Users, I have found a beautifully ordered DTT molecule stretching across a crystallographic two-fold and linking two symmetry related cysteine side chains. Since part of this molecule sits on across the two-fold (special position) I will specify the occupancy as 0.5. I am hoping to get some information on how easy (or how difficult) it is to specify this arrangement in Phenix for refinement since it is covalent and sitting across a crystallographic two-fold (and presumably stabilizing the lattice). Will ReadySet build the appropriate CIF file if I build the DTT into the density and give it a 0.5 occupancy? Joe ___________________________________________________________ Joseph P.

Re: [phenixbb] Adequate size for Free R test set?
by Joseph Noel 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Pavel, Thanks so much for the suggestions. They are really helpful! A few questions relative to Phenix. Is there a way to check with Phenix the thin resolution shells? I created Free Rs in Phenix using the thin resolution shells options but removed the 2000 limit and instead used 5%. Maybe I over-did it relative to your reply. Just wondering how to check each of these thin shells. Alternatively, does Phenix ensure one has an adequate number of test reflections in each "thin shell" if this option is set? If so, what should I used for the maximum number of reflections and/or %? Thanks again! Joe ___________________________________________________________ Joseph P.

Adequate size for Free R test set?
by Joseph Noel 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hi Folks, Its been a while since I personally refined many structures. In the past, I used as a default, 5% of my unique reflections for the Free R test set. I have a high resolution structure with 150,000 unique reflections and noticed that Phenix defaults are 5% or 2000 reflections which ever is smaller. What is the current consensus on an adequate number of unique reflections to use for cross-validation? Thanks! Joe P.S. I really, really love Phenix. ___________________________________________________________ Joseph P. Noel, Ph.D. Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor, The Jack H.

New version complaint

Hi there, I've been using version 1.6.2-432 on a Macbook and was particularly enjoying the "Show Histograms" button on the POLYGON results page. However today I updated to version 1.6.4-486 using the dmg installer, and that useful option has disappeared! Is there a good reason for the absence of this function, and if not can we get it back?

Hi Munan Shaik, Phenix autobuild can read several types of sequence files, but the basic format is very simple: enter one copy of the sequence of each chain, separated by a blank line or a line starting with ">" between chains. You can optionally add any lines starting with ">" which will be ignored. So here is an example: >>> alpha subunit (type 1) MTMPYYASAEQIMRDRSELARKGIARGRSVVVLTFRDGVLFVAENPSTALHKVSELYDRL GFAAVGKYNEFENLRRAGIVHADMRGYSYDRRDVTGRSLANAYAQTLGTIFTEQPKPYEV EICVAEVGRVGSPKAPQLYRITYDGSIVDEQHFVVMGGTTEPIATAMRESYRADLDLEAA VGIAVNALRQGGAGEGEKRNVDVASLEVAVLDQSRPRRAFRRIAGTALEQLVPAEPAAAS ESAPEPKPDTETKPADTQD >>> beta subunit (type 1) MTADRPALRTGDRDTRLSFGSNLSSFTDYLRGHAPELLPENRIGHRSHSTRGGDGMESGD LAPHGTTIVALTYKGGVLLAGDRRATQGNLIASRDVEKVYVTDEYSAAGIAGTAGIAIEL VRLFAVELEHYEKIEGVPLTFDGKANRLASMVRGNLGAAMQGLAVVPLLVGYDLDADDES RAGRIVSYDVVGGRYEERAGYHAVGSGSLFAKSALKKIYSPDSDEETALRAAIESLYDAA DDDSATGGPDLTRGIYPTAVTITQAGAVHVSEETTSELARRIVAERTEQGGSAR Please let me know if that doesn't do it!
