cif file for modified peptide
by Feldkamp, Michael Dennis 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

I would like to generate a cif file for a peptide that is FITC labeled at the N-terminus and also contains an unnatural amino acid (dichloro phenylalanine). I've used phenix.elbow in the past to generate cif files for small molecule ligands but when I've run it I only get a cif file for the FITC. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, Michael Feldkamp

MR_Rosetta prerefine
by Heather Condurso 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

Dear all, I am using mr_rosetta to run prerefinement of various starting models that all have pretty low sequence homology to my protein of interest (~15%). I ran it using the simple script from the manual: phenix.mr_rosetta \ seq_file=seq.dat \ search_models=coords1.pdb \ run_prerefine=True \ number_of_prerefine_models=1000 Its working fairly well, but obviously taking a long time to make 1000 models. Is there a log or score file somewhere that lists all of the rosetta scores as it is running? Right now all the pdb files in each different run have the format S_"original model name"__0001.pdb no matter what run it resulted from. Is there a way to make it unique for example with the actual run number in place of 0001? This makes it difficult to compare files in pymol. Thanks, Heather Condurso UF-Department of Chemistry condurso(a)ufl.edu

Difficult MR with TNCS
by Ian Slaymaker 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

Dear Phenix Community, I am having difficulties solving a protein-DNA complex structure and was hoping for some ideas or strategies. My data diffracts to 3A and depending on how I index my data fits well into I4 or P4. I have also been exploring everything in lower space groups. My MR model has 64% identity to my unsolved protein. The crystal protein is 24kD and runs as a monomer or sometimes a dimer. Xtriage strongly suggests that there is tNCS due to a strong patterson peak at 0.5, 0.5. 0.5. Using the phaser GUI, when I search around P4, I get very promising statistics (TFZ = 20's and LLG ~2000), and oddly, in these cases phaser places two subunits on top of each other (despite default packing limitations) with the protein beta sheet cores overlapping, and rotated 180 degrees of each other. The density looks believable, but obviously something is very wrong. The crystal packing would be feasible if another subunit were placed, but I have been able to coax phaser to find a complete solution. It would rather place it overlapping than in available spaces. My questions: 1) does this suggest that there is some form of twinning going on? 2) sometimes phaser (phenix GUI) tells me it is adjusting for tNCS and sometimes it says its NOT (even when there is an even number of subunits being searched for), is this a bug or deliberate? 3) I have tried using phaser from the command line in MR_AUTO mode with the keywords TNCS_USE ON TNCS PATT PERCENT 88 TNCS_NMOL 2 or 4 but dont see any indication that the TNCS adjustments are being made and I have not been able to repeat my phaser GUI results this way. 4) What is a good strategy for tackling this particular problem? Right now I am just chugging through my list of possible space groups, compositions and resolution ranges, but need to look through each possible solution individually because of the misleading statistics and so is very inefficient and time consuming. Thank you for any help or comments. Ian

radiation damaged residues occupancy refinement
by Mikalai Lapkouski 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hello, I have a 1.2A model with the signs of radiation damage, judged by the negative peaks around the carboxyls (atoms CD, OE1 and OE2) of glutamates probably due to decarboxylation. I wan to refine occupancy of those atoms to account for negative density. What is the proper way of doing it? I tried to set the occupancy for those atoms 0.8 and refine individually. But obviously occupancies for those atoms are individually refined to different values which I dont think is the right way. Is there a way of how to refine occupancies for those atoms so that they remain identical after refinement (say all have 0.6)? Or is there another procedure of how to deal with refinement of radiation damaged side-chains? Any suggestions, please? Thank you Nick

Refining Anomalous Groups
by Brennan Bonnet 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hi All, I am trying to use phenix.refine to refine partially occupied xenon sites using the Anomalous Groups selection under "Refinement settings". My list of anomalous scatters initially consisted of 22 peaks as located by HySS. Some of these were removed as they originated from S atoms from Met and Cys residues and a few others were removed after previous refinement steps due to having zero occupancy. My remaining sites consist of my xenons (hopefully) and other metals such as Mg or Zn which are mixed in and look like partially occupied xenon sites. My problem is that when I try to define the 11 remaining sites for the "refine anomalous groups" selection the software complains: Invalid combination: F-obs not anomalous, but refinement of 11 f_double_prime values requested (11 scatterers): Please provide anomalous reflection data or fix all f_double_prime values (see refinement.refine.anomalous_scatterer.group input blocks) I can't figure out exactly what I need to change to make it work and can't find a guide anywhere. Do I need to provide additional data or is the syntax for the sites incorrect maybe? Please help! ~Brennan~

Phaser
by Morten Groftehauge 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hi guys, I was trying out the new Parallel Phaser (dev-1214) and using a model prepared by Rosetta covering 25% of the total structure (32% identity to the homology model), NCS = 2. 5 models actually but not really relevant since the program spontaneously stopped running after a couple of hours (I love what it's supposed to do though!). My question is about the log however. In the Parallel Phaser log it says: Expected LLG and Resolution Limits ---------------------------------- Expected LLG target: 120.00 Expected LLG achieved: 120.0 Resolution of All Data: 2.38 Resolution limited by eLLG target: 4.83 This resolution WILL NOT be used as the default The expected LLG achieved is greater than 120 (eLLG target) but when I tried to recreate that run in the regular Phaser-MR I get this message in the log Expected LLG and Resolution Limits ---------------------------------- Expected LLG target: 120.00 Expected LLG achieved: 49.7 Resolution of All Data: 2.38 Resolution limited by eLLG target: 2.38 This resolution WILL NOT be used as the default The expected LLG achieved is less than 60 (half eLLG target) FTF rescoring WILL be performed due to low expected LLG signal Deep search will be performed from the start I think the second result looks more realistic (unfortunately) but I still don't understand why the difference? Cheers, Morten PS Seems like there's a memory leak in 1214 and 1207 when I run the Phaser step of MR_Rosetta. Does this sound right? Definitely in 1207 but it seems like it's still there in 1214. -- Morten K Grøftehauge, PhD Pohl Group Durham University

Hi, I'm attempting to install the latest version of phenix on mac 10.5.8, using the command line installer. Installation proceeds well until towards the end, where it hangs on: precompiling .py files I can leave it for up to an hour without any further progress, but upon typing: ctrl+c The installation comes back to life and proceeds to completion. Can anyone advise as to what might be causing this and on how reliable this installation is going to be? Thanks in advance.

Alternate conformation occupancies sum more than 1
by Mikalai Lapkouski 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hello, I was refining the 1.2 A structure. After refining occupancies there are several residues with alternate conformers for which the sum of the occupancies is greater than one. For example: GLY A 197 O Occupancy sums to 1.14 MET B 17 CB Occupancy sums to 1.03 TYR B 142 CD1 Occupancy sums to 1.04 TYR B 142 CZ Occupancy sums to 1.01 GLY B 197 O Occupancy sums to 1.23 The density is defined nicely for them, do you know what can be the problem of why the sum could be more than 1? Thank you Mikalai

Restraints file for a new amino acid residue
by Agnes Thiane Pereira Machado 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi We are trying to refine a protein structure with a (covalently) modified residue. The colosest discussion to our problem is: http://www.phenix-online.org/pipermail/phenixbb/2010-August/015629.html We ran: phenix.elbow --residue SSC ourmodel.pdb And read the due cif file at phenix refinement. The residue by itself is OK, but we were not able to perform the peptide bond between C and N. How to complete the .cif file such that it has due restraints for the peptide bond with this modified residue? Agnes

Off topic: Anomalous signal
by ash.k＠aol.com 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Dear all, I am sorry for this off topic question in the bb. I have good looking but poorly diffracting (3.8-4 A) crystals of SeMet derivative. Mass spec confirmed that Se incorporation is 100% and I got a very good energy scan for Se too. I properly selected the peak, inflection and remote wavelengths for the data collection. But, I do not see anomalous signal in the data collected. Processing in HKL2000 does not show any resolution dependance of Chi square and also xtriage says that the anomalous resolution limit is only up to 8-9A. Is it something usual for the kind of diffraction I am getting or something else is going on? I have 5/200 methionine residues in the sequence. Worst case I can think of is that all the Met side chains are disordered ! Any help would be highly appreciated.. AK

Hi All, Apologies if this is a naive question, but I would like to run DEN refinement and I notice the documentation says that it runs optimally on a machine with at least 30 processor cores. Is there any way to run DEN refinement on a SGE cluster as a batch job using something like run_command="qsub" as can be done with autobuild, etc.? Thanks, Mike -- Michael C.

Simulated anneal
by Qiang Chen 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi all, I have a 3.05Å structure. I refine it to Rwork=25.2 Rfree=28.81. I use Molprobity to check the structure. The clash score is 100th and Molprobity score is 99th. I was suggested to run simulated anneal to help reduce Rwork and Rfree. I tried Cartesian and Torsion and different seed. The best result I got is: torsion anneal, start_temp=2500,final_temp=300, random_seed=4250146. The Rwork:25.8, Rfree=31.2. I checked the new model and found that some places in a domain were not correctly traced. The density for that domain is not good and have several flexible loops. My question is: does simulated anneal always work and reduce Rwork/Rfree? At the final stage of refinement, does it necessary to use simulated anneal again?

phenix.pdbtools - renumber specific chains

Apologies if this has been covered before - but can someone point me to a way of renumbering only specific chains (i.e. F, G, H etc). I have tried using phenix.pdbtools with either selection = "chain F or chain G or chain H" or keep "chain A or chain B or chain C or chain D" - but in both cases phenix renumbers every single residue!

Setting up MR_Rosetta
by Julio Lenin 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hello guys, I am currently trying to setup MR_Rosetta but I am running into some trouble. When I run the tutorial for Defensin HNP-3 from the GUI I always get an error during the ... process (see image at this dropbox link). I know that my path for phenix and rosetta are correct since I can run the phenix_regression.wizards.test_command_line_rosetta_quick and phenix_regression.wizards.test_command_line_rosetta_quick test_rosetta_rebuild. If I try to trace down the error, I can only get the same info that I got from the GUI error message (vide supra). As additional info, here are somme details of my setup: MacBookPro 4,1 running OS 10.6.8 Core2Duo 2.5 Ghz 6 Gb RAM Rosetta 3.2 compiled with flags bin mode=release Phenix 1.8.1-1168 And my input settings for the GUI run (dropbox) Now, this might just be confusing but there was one command line test that my setup failed: phenix_regression.wizards.test_command_line_rosetta test_mr_rosetta The error is kinda cryptic (see dropbox copy of the error) but it seem to be a discrepancy in the scoring results not a missing program or any other kind of misconfiguration. Of course, I might be wrong. Any advice? Best regards. -- Lenin Domínguez-Ramírez "And for all the current and rather silly emphasis on structural biology,understanding enzymes means understanding catalysis and catalysis is concerned with kinetics, not structure: as Jeremy Knowles aptly remarked, studying the photograph of a racehorse cannot tell you how fast it can run."

Sugar refine in phenix
by Jan van Agthoven 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hi everyone, This is a basic question. I would like to refine the sugar ends of my protein. The sugar polymers are made of NAG and BMA and whenever I use phenix.ready_set and subsequently phenix.refine it results in a structure of disconnnected sugar monomers. Indeed the cif file generated by phenix.ready_set does'nt give any geometry constraints for connecting the monomers. How do create a cif file that tells phenix.refine how to refine the sugars?

ligand fitting, density and refinement
by Terwilliger, Thomas C 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

Hi Huaidong, I'm not quite sure exactly what you did...could you possibly elaborate a little? My confusion comes from two things. First, this phrase: "did the refinement with the output files from ligandfit", is confusing to me because I would not think that you would want to use any output files from ligandfit except for the ligand PDB file. Second, I agree, I can't see why ligandfit would find good density for your ligand if it is not present in a difference map calculated from the original data.

refining with f' and f" values

Hi Everyone, I have a structure with heavy metals which I would like to refine anomalous scattering factors. I could get the f' and f" values from Autosol, when I gave the atom name and wavelength. But when I ran refinement with anomalous scattering giving .mtz file and pdb file from pHENIX refinement I got the error "Invalid combination-F-obs not anomalous, provide anomalous reflections or fix all f" values. Then I used reflection file editor of GUI to create a mtz file that has anomalous data using the original reflection file and the mtz file of refinement. But still it gives an error. I must be doing something wrong, but cannot figure out what that is. Thanks in advance for any help. Subhani

"H" atom refining occupancy with previous altconf residue in sequence
by Alexander Scouras 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

After a series of residues (1+) with alternate conformations, the H atom of the next residue seems to lock its occupancy to that of the final conformation of the previous residue. Hence I'm getting several H's with 0.1-0.5 occupancy on single conformation residues, where the entire rest of the residue has occupancy 1. This happens after every altconf series, and showed up in two separate structures I've worked on this week. Within a series of 2+ residues with altconfs, the H's refine correctly with their altconf groups. So it isn't just that all subsequent residue's H's are getting overridden. This behavior seems to have started with 1.8.1-1168, or at least previous refinements of the same structure didn't do this. 64 bit build on Retina MBP running OS X 10.8.2. I couldn't google any reference to this behavior, so assuming it's a new bug I can send along source files. Below I've pasted a couple residues from one of my PDBs. I added a ***** to mark the offending H with the wrong occupancy. -Alex Scouras ATOM 668 N CMET A 29 -17.970 6.464 59.720 0.21 10.72 N ANISOU 668 N CMET A 29 1641 1300 1133 -328 -379 -50 N ATOM 669 CA CMET A 29 -17.578 5.189 60.316 0.21 9.05 C ANISOU 669 CA CMET A 29 1545 882 1012 -248 -350 -140 C ATOM 670 C CMET A 29 -17.248 5.317 61.797 0.21 7.83 C ANISOU 670 C CMET A 29 1363 666 947 173 -134 166 C ATOM 671 O CMET A 29 -17.496 4.395 62.578 0.21 7.92 O ANISOU 671 O CMET A 29 1187 751 1071 371 -145 338 O ATOM 672 CB CMET A 29 -16.376 4.609 59.573 0.21 9.09 C ANISOU 672 CB CMET A 29 1561 834 1059 -243 -283 -203 C ATOM 673 CG CMET A 29 -16.681 4.210 58.145 0.21 9.05 C ANISOU 673 CG CMET A 29 1529 756 1154 -28 -331 -235 C ATOM 674 SD CMET A 29 -18.049 3.042 58.009 0.21 13.05 S ANISOU 674 SD CMET A 29 2356 1325 1279 -218 -284 -50 S ATOM 675 CE CMET A 29 -17.505 1.757 59.124 0.21 12.06 C ANISOU 675 CE CMET A 29 1866 1485 1232 -630 -667 420 C ATOM 676 H CMET A 29 -17.333 6.878 59.318 0.21 12.87 H ATOM 677 HA CMET A 29 -18.320 4.557 60.216 0.21 10.86 H ATOM 678 HB2CMET A 29 -15.671 5.275 59.551 0.21 10.91 H ATOM 679 HB3CMET A 29 -16.069 3.819 60.044 0.21 10.91 H ATOM 680 HG2CMET A 29 -16.916 5.004 57.640 0.21 10.86 H ATOM 681 HG3CMET A 29 -15.894 3.794 57.761 0.21 10.86 H ATOM 682 HE1CMET A 29 -18.164 1.059 59.140 0.21 14.48 H ATOM 683 HE2CMET A 29 -16.666 1.409 58.813 0.21 14.48 H ATOM 684 HE3CMET A 29 -17.401 2.130 60.002 0.21 14.48 H ATOM 685 N MET A 30 -16.667 6.445 62.187 1.00 6.77 N ANISOU 685 N MET A 30 1361 564 647 -30 -56 18 N ATOM 686 CA MET A 30 -16.416 6.699 63.606 1.00 7.66 C ANISOU 686 CA MET A 30 1362 946 601 -42 -173 2 C ATOM 687 C MET A 30 -17.759 6.724 64.367 1.00 7.62 C ANISOU 687 C MET A 30 1310 944 641 -9 -24 -22 C ATOM 688 O MET A 30 -17.852 6.212 65.486 1.00 9.05 O ANISOU 688 O MET A 30 1571 1151 718 84 98 231 O ATOM 689 CB MET A 30 -15.620 7.987 63.790 1.00 7.65 C ANISOU 689 CB MET A 30 1299 894 714 26 -120 -166 C ATOM 690 CG MET A 30 -14.229 7.965 63.231 1.00 8.62 C ANISOU 690 CG MET A 30 1464 1072 741 31 -163 -10 C ATOM 691 SD MET A 30 -13.130 6.745 64.006 1.00 9.04 S ANISOU 691 SD MET A 30 1555 961 919 105 -180 -94 S ATOM 692 CE MET A 30 -12.812 7.527 65.563 1.00 9.77 C ANISOU 692 CE MET A 30 1540 1284 889 150 -190 -62 C ATOM 693 H MET A 30 -16.395 7.062 61.653 0.21 8.12 H ***** ATOM 694 HA MET A 30 -15.872 5.965 63.962 1.00 9.19 H ATOM 695 HB2 MET A 30 -16.099 8.709 63.352 1.00 9.18 H ATOM 696 HB3 MET A 30 -15.550 8.173 64.739 1.00 9.18 H ATOM 697 HG2 MET A 30 -14.278 7.758 62.284 1.00 10.35 H ATOM 698 HG3 MET A 30 -13.831 8.840 63.354 1.00 10.35 H ATOM 699 HE1 MET A 30 -12.228 6.968 66.079 1.00 11.73 H ATOM 700 HE2 MET A 30 -12.397 8.378 65.406 1.00 11.73 H ATOM 701 HE3 MET A 30 -13.644 7.648 66.026 1.00 11.73 H

Nat, Just a few simple thoughts: --1) Are you certain about the space group, and did you try letting --Phaser pick one for you? (It sounds like you did, but I can't tell --from your description.) I searched for a solution in all possible space groups in P 4. I thought I was certain of the space group, but maybe not... --2) How much refinement did you run to get an R-free of 42$, and did --you already try running AutoBuild with rebuild-in-place turned off? --Refinement alone may not have the radius of convergence you need. True, I only did a couple of rounds of rebuild/refine --3) What is the sequence identity? My model is a point-mutant of the crystal. --4) Are you using the latest version of Phenix? Phaser has had TNCS --support for almost a year now but I keep hearing from people who are --using ancient versions... I am using the latest official PHENIX built. --- -- Yuri Pompeu
