applying B_factor and scale correction to an MTZ
by Francois Berenger 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hello, Is there a tool to apply both the scale and overall B-factor correction found by the wilson plot to a given MTZ file? After applying these corrections, is there another way than redoing wilson to check that the output MTZ is on absolute scale? Thanks a lot, Francois.

OpenMP incompatible with Phenix GUI?
by Donnie Berkholz 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Dear developers, I would really like to use OpenMP parallelization and also use the Phenix GUI. When I attempted a source build with OpenMP support, I was informed that the two were incompatible. My understanding is that this used to work fine with the old wizards. Would it be possible to fix this? -- Thanks, Donnie Donald S. Berkholz, Postdoctoral research fellow James R.

individual_sites_real_space?
by Francis E Reyes 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Phenixer's I just upgraded from 1.4-87 and noticed that there's individual_sites_real_space now. The documentation (http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/refinement.htm ) just shows that it's a parameter phenix.refine. What is this and when is it helpful (bad resolution/ bad model? or high resolution/ good model? or high resolution/bad model?)

LSTc refinement in phenix.refine
by JXQI 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Dear all, I am refining a structure complexed with LSTc (alpha 2,6-linked galactose,i.e. SIA-GAL-NAG-GAL).I know that the BETA1-4 or BETA1-3 in the mon-lib could restrain the bond distance,but I could not find the links between the SIA and GAL......any suggestions are appreciated. Best regards Janxon

polygon and membrane proteins
by Pascal Egea 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Dear Developers, I wonder if there would be a simple way to get the Polygon program implemented in Phenix to use only membrane protein deposited structures as the reference data set. I understand that the reference set is much smaller than the whole menagerie of available structures but it represents an homogenous class of protein (crystallized in detergent). Do you think that this would be meaningful and useful? Thanks in advance, -- Pascal F.

Re Double stranded DNA restraints?
by Thomas C. Terwilliger 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Hi Sena, I would add this command helices_strands_only=True to force autobuild to just try and build helical segments. This probably won't fix the lack of connectivity however. All the best, Tom T Hi Everyone, Is there a way to force phenix (autobuild) into building a contiguous double stranded DNA. Currently, when I am solving a protein-DNA complex using SAD data: 1) its not recognizing that DNA needs to be double stranded, so it is fitting one of the strands correctly (at least part of it), but the other strand is in the protein density region. 2) It breaks down each of the strand. So it is not fitting as a contiguous 30 mer but instead a 10 mer, two 6 mers and a 8 mer. Thanks Sena

(no subject)
by Prof Jennifer Martin (IMB) 04 Apr '10

The protein crystal structure I am refining has a redox modification: cysteine sulfenic acid (S-hydroxy cysteine). How do I go about including parameters for this modification in phenix refine? I have found parameters on HIC-UP (under CSO) but these are for XPLOR/ CNS. Many thanks in advance for suggestions, Jenny Martin University of Queensland
