Fix for autobuild/ligandfit problem with long $PATH
by Tom Terwilliger 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

Hi Phenix users, Several of you have had trouble with phenix.autobuild (or phenix.ligandfit) failing if you had a very long $PATH. The problem seems to be that if your $PATH is very long, then adding more to it and re-setting it can lead to a string that is too long (on some systems). Starting with PHENIX version 1.4-100 (today's version) you can add the keyword remove_path_word_list=" cns xiaroot ccp4 phaser" to shorten your $PATH. This keyword will selectively remove all paths from $PATH that include any of the words you specify, and that do not include the word "phenix", when running that phenix job. The log file will list what paths were removed. To figure out what paths to remove, type echo $PATH and choose the ones that identify other programs that are not part of phenix. I hope that will do it! Please let me know if this doesn't solve the problems. All the best, Tom T Thomas C.

How to apply geometry regularization to selected residues in phenix.pdbtools
by Oliv Eidam 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

Hi, I was wondering if the geometry regularization in phenix.pdbtools can be applied to selected residues only. Something like: > phenix.pdbtools my.pdb selection="resname xyz" --geometry-regularization Many thanks in advance, Oliv -- Oliv Eidam, Ph.D. Postdoctoral fellow University of California, San Francisco Dept. of Pharmaceutical Chemistry 1700 4th Street, Byers Hall North, Room 501 San Francisco, CA 94158 - Box 2550 Phone: 415-514-4253 Fax : 415-514-4260 Email: eidamo(a)blur.compbio.ucsf.edu

pseudo translational symmetry
by youssef ben ammar 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hi all, I recently solved the structure of a protein containing 395aa using phenix autosol. After autoBuild I got about 65% of the sequence docked with 2 monomers in the ASU. After several refinement cycles the map has been improved and I build manually the remaining amino acids. But the problem is that R and Rfree didn't decrease below 0.28 and 0.33 respectively. I tried with NCS restraints, TLS but without success. When I revised phenix autosol logs carefully, I found that in xtriage the analyses of the Patterson function reveals a significant off-origin peak that is 41.59 % of the origin peak, indicating pseudo translational symmetry and no twin laws were found. The space group is P212121 (36.898, 59.45, 393.908, 90, 90, 90). The basic statistics suggested 1 copy in the ASU (but the solution gave 2 copies per ASU !!!). The same analysis done by ccp4i gave the same solvent content and math. coef. in p21212 but with 2 copies per ASU. In xtriage I found this suggestion: If the observed pseudo translationals are crystallographic the following spacegroups and unit cells are possible: space group P 21 21 2 (b-1/4,2*c,a) operator x, y+1/2, z unit cell of reference setting (393.91, 36.90, 29.73, 90.00, 90.00, 90.00) I am really stucked with the refinement and don't know how to deal with this pseudo translation. Any help or suggestions are welcome. Thank you. Youssef

density fit analysis in coot
by Raja Dey 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Dear Friends, Can anyone tell what the number popping up against every bar of the density fit analysis histogram in COOT is? Is it a correlation co-eff between Fo and Fc or something else? I am interested to know how is this parameter calculated. One more question... Is it possible to build a model in COOT if only the electron density map and sequence is given? Although I know there are some programs to create an initial model. I am wondering whether COOT can do that. Thanking you in advance... Raja

error loading SHELXL HKLF4 reflection file
by jonathan elegheert 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Dear phenix developers, I am using the one of the latest phenix.refine nightly builds, and I'm trying to load a SHELXL .hkl file into phenix; phenix.refine xxx_refine_004.def xray_data.file_name="/path/xxx.hkl"=hklf4 The "Iobs,SigIobs"labels are well recognized (so the "Merging symmetry-equivalent intensities" subroutine works ok), but the necessary "=hklf4" or "=intensities" appendage seems to cause problems. The strange thing is that in phenix.xtriage, the same command line flag works perfectly fine. Thank you for any pointers!

Re: [phenixbb] scaling
by Thomas C. Terwilliger 20 Jun '09

Hi, You can use autosol to do scaling of any pair of datasets, so if you just run the command below N times, once for each reference/to-be-scaled dataset pair you are interested in, it should do what you want: phenix.autosol native.data=native.sca deriv.data=deriv.sca correct_aniso=false skip_xtriage=true res_hyss=100 build=false this will stop with " HYSS failed...Probably no iso or ano differences.." because we are not giving HYSS any data. Then the file: AutoSol_run_1_/TEMP0/AutoSol_run_1_/TEMP0/mir_fbar.mtz will have the scaled native and deriv data in mtz format. For subsequent runs, the data will be in AutoSol_run_2_ ...etc I hope that helps! -Tom T >>> where ought i look for a phenx utility to scale any number of data sets >>> to >>> a reference data set? something akin to scale.inp in CNS. >> >> I don't think we have such a utility, unless there is something in >> solve (Tom?). -- But you shouldn't need this for any of the phenix >> applications.

Can I limit the model's B factor range during refinement
by junfeng liu 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Dear all, Several models have been refined using Phenix recently. It works well . But the model's B factors in some region are very high, higher than 150 or more. Of course, the wilson B is high too, about 60-70. I remembered that the B factor can be limited in the refinement using Refmac. Can I do the similar thing in Phenix ? Thanks in advance! Best wishes, leo

Molecular replacement
by Colin Levy 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Within Phenix, is it possible to specify and lock the centre of rotation for a molecular replacement search. I have a single intrinsic anomalous scatterer within my protein which I can locate easily, therefore I would like to manually specify this point as the centre of rotation and then carry out a rotation search only about this single fixed point. Thanks for any suggestions, Colin

Re: [phenixbb] Adding H atoms onto ligand
by Young-Jin Cho 16 Jun '09

16 Jun '09

Thanks a lot Nigel, I could generate new .cif file. Then I need to combine this ligand information while I am adding H atoms to model.pdb (protein+ligand). when I simply type "phenix.ready_set model.pdb" it will wrongly generate strange.pdb file. My question is how I can add this new geometry information (.cif file) while adding H atoms into modle.pdb file to make protein and ligand has H atoms in correct way. Thanks again in advace.

You can then use the menu Action -> Build -> Add Atom to add a hydrogen to the nitrogen by clicking on the nitrogen.

When I opened through phenix.reel, N atom has double bond to PB, thus has only one H atom, which I thought it should be single bond thus has two H atoms like any N6 of adenine. So if you can tell me how I can handle to put correct geometry, it will be great.

You can see what the ligand ANP is by phenix.reel --chemical-components=ANP If you have the non-hydrogen atoms of your truncated ligand, phenix.ready_set will add the hydrogens and may even add the correct number of hydrogens to the terminal nitrogen. But what about its name? I would recommend find the three-letter code that corresponds to your ligand. Nigel On 6/15/09 7:01 PM, Young-Jin Cho wrote: Let me excuse to post another similar issue. I was now modifying AMPPNP ('ANP' in its library name). Although it came from coot/ccp4 library, phenix does not recognize so I had to generate .cif file from the pdb. As it turned out AMPPNP is hydrolyzed in the crystal having AMPPN (terminal Phosphate group needs to be removed), I made from coot (simply deleted atoms) and made another .cif file. One question what I have now is while I am adding H atoms into a whole molecule, how I can add H atoms onto terminal AMPPN (N atom). Unlike ATP case, it is very certain that terminal N atom should have 2 H's. I did Molprobity as in the general case to add H atoms, but it didn't make it. Another questions is how I can remove H atoms from the pdb file. I did "phenix.refine model.pdb remove="element H" but got a message as below: Processing inputs. This may take a minute or two. Sorry: Ambiguous parameter definition: remove = element H Best matches: refinement.refine.occupancies.remove_selection refinement.geometry_restraints.remove.angles refinement.geometry_restraints.remove.dihedrals refinement.geometry_restraints.remove.chiralities refinement.geometry_restraints.remove.planarities Thanks in advance, YoungJin ps.
