Hi I am working with a twinned data set having R32 space group. when i tried to refine with phenix refine using the twin option it got stuck after some time. There is no error message showing up and the refinemnet donot progresses further. I have used the twin law suggested by Xtriage program in Phenix. Kindly help me out.

Dear Randy, Nat, Tom, thank you for pointing out the existence of phenix.phaser to me, and sketching its usage. I think I'll make my way with that information; nevertheless it would be great if it were officially documented (Google returned nothing to me about phenix.phaser). BTW, I'm trying to put together some orthogonal Phenix documentation at http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index.php/Phenix . I take the opportunity to state that although the URL refers to the CCP4 users' wiki, and obviously Phenix is not part of CCP4, the wiki covers a broad range of crystallographic information. Thus, I do think it is appropriate to collect Phenix-related information (from a user perspective) there, and would like to invite everybody to contribute to the Phenix entry (and others!). thanks, Kay

phenix.automr questions
by Kay Diederichs 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

Dear developers, I have four questions concerning phenix.automr (I'm using version 1.6.4): a) is there a way to make the program try all permutations for the search order of my four search molecules, or do I have to write a script ? b) how can I completely switch off the search in the alternative spacegroups - I am under the impression that although the "effective parameters" are all_plausible_sg_list = None use_all_plausible_sg = False the search is not only done in the spacegroup I specified (#92=P41212) but also in #96=P43212 . I believe so because the output says: ... 2 alternative spacegroups SpaceGroup will be determined by highest LLG in search for FIRST ensemble Search order: P 43 21 2 P 41 21 2 ... (I would rather run a second search "manually" in the other spacegroup!) c) I have two occurrences of seq_file ("all.seq" and "all.dat"; the latter is symlinked to the former). Am I right that I could just leave out one of them? I did this after looking at http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/automr.htm#anch70 but I wonder which of the specifications of sequences and masses overrides the other one? or is the first specification used for editing the search models, and the second for getting the likelihood terms right? d) what kind of editing is done? Is phenix.sculptor run internally? I find {a,b,c,d}_edited.pdb but are they actually used? thank you, Kay P.S. I run with "phenix.automr mr.eff" where mr.eff is automr { data = "m879_2_rg92.mtz" seq_file = all.dat ensemble { ensembleID = "mol1" copies_to_find = 1 coords = a.pdb identity = 80 } ensemble { ensembleID = "mol2" copies_to_find = 1 coords = b.pdb identity = 45 } ensemble { ensembleID = "mol3" copies_to_find = 1 coords = c.pdb identity = 45 } ensemble { ensembleID = "mol4" copies_to_find = 1 coords = d.pdb identity = 45 } component { component_type = *protein nucleic_acid seq_file = all.seq component_copies = 1 } autobuild_variables{ n_cycle_rebuild_max = 1 } }

Re: [phenixbb] advice for refinement with anomalous information
by John Rose 27 Aug '10

27 Aug '10

Hi, I am refining my first structure (Cd-SAD) with the Phenix (GUI) and would like to refine anomalous f' and f". When i check the box, a menu appears and I have no idea of how to define the Cd atoms. I looked at the help and FAQ and found this: refinement.refine.anomalous_scatterers { group { selection = name BR f_prime = 0 f_double_prime = 0 refine = *f_prime *f_double_prime So I thought the name should be input as CD in the gui but when I submitted the refinement I got an error. Any help here would be appreciated? Thanks, John Rose

file type not supported???
by Joseph Noel 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Hi All, I am having a problem that should be totally simple but I am stuck trying to find out what is happening. I use Text Wrangler on my Mac as a text editor of files. I have used it many many times to edit PDB files. It seems now that some PDB files that I have opened and removed a few lines now show up as an unrecognized file type when trying to read them into Phenix or into COOT. However, when I upload them on the Molprobity site they are read fine and processed. However, even the downloaded file from Molprobity gives the same error. I know it must be something simple but stumped and hoping someone else has experienced the same problem and has a quick fix. Thanks!

Re: [phenixbb] phenix.ready_set hydrogens not compatable with coot library
by Joseph Noel 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Hi All, Indeed even the latest COOT still relies on the old PDB format and hydrogens fly. Its probably not prudent to use hydrogens in refinement then remove them and add back each time. Kind of defeats the purpose of using them in the first place. Until COOT is updated I found a pretty easy way around things as long as you have access to the internet. Just use the MOLPROBITY site (http://molprobity.biochem.duke.edu/). In addition to it being a fantastic tool for really cleaning up structures, you can quickly upload your refined file from Phenix with hydrogens, then hit the button to downgrade to PDB v23. It creates the appropriate file with renamed hydrogens that work great in COOT. You can then re-upload the COOT rebuilt model and it will "upgrade" naming to the latest PDB version. Download that file and there you go for Phenix refinement. Sounds like a bit but very fast and easy to implement until COOT is upgraded.

phenix.ready_set hydrogens not compatable with coot library
by amadrona＠uci.edu 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

hello, After reading many posts on the phenix and coot boards I realize that the hydrogens produced by phenix.ready_set are not compatable with coot. Specifically, coot does not recognize HB3 and HD3 hydrogens. When I do realspace refinement they fly off into space. I have edited HB3 to read HB2 and HB2 to read HB1 and everything works well. I was wondering if there is a fix for this besides editing the pdb each time you run phenix.ready_set. Is there a way to add HB3 hydrogens to the phenix library (CCP4 library)? Thank you -Yarrow

Ringer: A program to detect molecular motions by systematic X-ray electron-density sampling
by Terry Lang 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

The Alber lab at UC Berkeley is pleased to release of the code for Ringer version 1.0 (http://ucxray.berkeley.edu/ringer.htm). Ringer is a program to detect molecular motions by systematic X-ray electron-density sampling. The aim of Ringer is to go beyond static structural snapshots of proteins by uncovering structural ensembles in X-ray electron density. This information can reveal not only which parts of proteins are flexible and which parts are rigid, but it also can define alternate conformations that may be important for function. Alternate conformations of binding sites also may afford additional targets for drug design. The Ringer method is described in Lang et al. /Protein Sci/. 2010 Jul; 19(7):1420-31 <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20499387>. An application of Ringer, determining the structural underpinnings of the side chain dynamics critical for the function of the enzyme proline isomerase, was published in Fraser JS et al. /Nature/. 2009 Dec 3;462(7273):669-73 <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19956261>. Ringer is freely available to academics. -- PaulaTherese Lang Postdoctoral Scholar Alber Lab, UC Berkeley http://ucxray.berkeley.edu/ringer.htm

hydrogens in riding model create steric clashes after refinement
by amadrona＠uci.edu 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

Hi, I am having a problem with hydrogens causing steric clashes after refinement. I added hydrogens to my pdb using: "phenix.ready_set model.pdb". I was given two sets of coordinates (my model and a pdb for Iron atoms) I included this new model in the next round of refinement but I did not include the pdb for the Iron atoms. I ran refinement with the folowing parmeter file: refinement.main.ordered_solvent = true #refinement.main.ordered_solvent.mode=filter_only refinement.refine.strategy = individual_sites+individual_adp #refinement.refine.adp.individual.isotropic = "chain W" refinement.output.prefix = CIN4_refine refinement.output.serial = 18 refinement.output.write_def_file = True resolution is 1.37A with close to 400,000 unique observations (obs/param is still about 4) Stats: Rwork Rfree bonds angles start: .1444 .1723 .016 1.617 end: .1371 .1657 .010 1.301 I also ran wxu and wxc optimization from the command line. I know that the defualt is "riding-model" so that the hydrogen atoms are not refined. However, I thought that the program would be able to avoid steric clashes. Is there an aditional command I need to turn on to account for this? I am currently fixing every hydrogen that clashes on an individual basis in coot. There are also a handfull of hydrogens that exist out in space that I decided to delete. Thank you very much for your help. -Yarrow

altloc non-bonded interactions
by Paul Smith 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

Is it possible to tell phenix.refine to ignore certain non-bonded interactions? I have a structure at 1.1A with some interesting sulfate molecules that refuse to refine well. I suspect two positions are alternately occupied by sulfate in some cases and two water molecules in others. I would like to refine with both (a sulfate and two waters) with each component at 1/2 occupancy. With alternate conformations of a given sidechain, the two alternate locations automatically ignore one another w.r.t. non-bonded interactions. However, different residues, it would seem, do not. Has anyone encountered a similar situation or do the phenix gurus have any input? As an alternative, can I define an alternate sulfate residue with several missing atoms? Thanks in advance, --Paul

Constraining carbohydrate conformation
by Kenneth Verstraete 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Dear phenixbb users, I wonder how I can constrain the conformation of a NAG-residue during refinement. I have a dataset to 4.2 Angstrom. After refinement some sugars end up in the boat conformation. I would like to run the refinement so that the Asn side chain and the Asn-NAG linkage is refined (using xyz or torsion angle dynamics) but that the NAG-residue itself is considered as a rigid group. Maybe one way of doing this is constraining the bonds and angles of the NAG residue by the defining them as "custom bonds and angles" with sigma=0? Is there a possibility in phenix to generate these constraints from an ideal NAG-residue automatically? Thank you very much for you advice, Kenneth Verstraete

ubuntu 10.04 phenix installation
by vincent rao 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Dear Phenix bb user, i'm trying to install the latest version of phenix (1.6.4-486) on my pc with Ubuntu 10.04 installed. I'm using the*phenix-installer-1.6.4-486-intel-linux-2.6-x86_64-fc13.tar * installer. The installer complains that the * bundle-1.6.4-486-intel-linux-2.6-x86_64.tar.gz* is missing in the phenix-installer-1.6.4-486/bundles folder, and requires *bundle-1.6.4-486-intel-linux-2.6.tar.gz *to be present in this folder. So i simply renamed *bundle-1.6.4-486-intel-linux-2.6-x86_64.tar.gz *to *bundle-1.6.4-486-intel-linux-2.6.tar.gz *and this allowed the installation to complete without any further errors. However, when trying to start Phenix, i get the following error: laptop:~/Documents/installers/phenix-installer-1.6.4-486> phenix Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/phenix/wxGUI2/command_line/main.py", line 13, in <module> run(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/phenix/wxGUI2/command_line/main.py", line 7, in run from wxGUI2 import App File "/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/phenix/wxGUI2/App.py", line 6, in <module> import wx.lib.dialogs File "/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/build/intel-linux-2.6/base/lib/python2.6/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-ansi/wx/__init__.py", line 45, in <module> from wx._core import * File "/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/build/intel-linux-2.6/base/lib/python2.6/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-ansi/wx/_core.py", line 4, in <module> import _core_ ImportError: /usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/build/intel-linux-2.6/base/lib/python2.6/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-ansi/wx/_core_.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Not sure if this is of any use in solving the problem, but i typed the following command phenix.wxpython -c "import sys; print sys.path" and got the following output; ['', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/cctbx_project', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/reel', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/phaser', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/tntbx', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/phenix', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/elbow', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/PyQuante', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/docutils', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/PyCifRW', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/cctbx_project/boost_adaptbx', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/cctbx_project/libtbx/pythonpath', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/build/intel-linux-2.6/lib', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/build/intel-linux-2.6/base/lib/python26.zip', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/build/intel-linux-2.6/base/lib/python2.6', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/build/intel-linux-2.6/base/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/build/intel-linux-2.6/base/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/build/intel-linux-2.6/base/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/build/intel-linux-2.6/base/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/build/intel-linux-2.6/base/lib/python2.6/site-packages', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/build/intel-linux-2.6/base/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Numeric', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/build/intel-linux-2.6/base/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PIL', '/usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/build/intel-linux-2.6/base/lib/python2.6/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-ansi'] thanks

geometry weight and rmsd bonds - angles
by Lionel Costenaro 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hello, I'm using phenix.refine for the first time and have some problem to get it reach reasonable rmsd bonds (0.012-0.015) and angles (1.5-1.8). I set the bonds rmsd_max and angles rmsd_max to these values and try different values for: wxc_scale (from default 0.5 downto 0.015), wxu_scale (from default 1 down to 0.03), wc (from default 1 up to 8), with and without optimising wxc wxu. Whatever the parameters, phenix never reached final rmsd better than 0.022 and 2.2. I refine the structure with refmac so far, but need to refine the occupancies (so phenix). Am I doing something wrong? Should I just use phenix to refine only the occupancy (I am actually doing it)? Any help or comment are welcome. Some information: space group: P21, 2 molecules (180 aa) / au, 510 waters, about 20% alternate conformations, ligand covalently link to the protein (correct dictionary and link parameters for refmac or phenix -add link to cif), resolution: 1.32, refine xyz for all, Baniso for all (refmac), ncs not used, R 13.6 Rfree 17.7 fom 0.913 rmsd 0.012 1.56 (last refmac) phenix version 1.6 289 (gui) Best regards, Lionel

HKL_base
by Ed Pozharski 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

MTZ-files generated by phenix (at least some of them) are missing the base dataset (HKL_base) which is a requirement since CCP4 5.0. Is this deliberate? Ed. -- "I'd jump in myself, if I weren't so good at whistling." Julian, King of Lemurs
