does phenix compute the center of reaction pretty much like refmac does? i figure the matrices/center of reaction between refmac and phenix are identical - is that true? -bryan

Rfree refmac5 issue
by anon 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hi, has anyone had any experience using phenix with refmac5? I seem to be having issues with the Rfree flag. Phenix sets aside 8.1% of the reflection for Rfree. However when i use refmac for refinement, it reports that its using 91.4% of the reflections for Rfree........? thanks

.cif use/restraints
by Bryan W. Lepore 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

a ligand is distorting - as if it is ignoring the .cif and i already have the angles tighted up in the .def. what else should i check? what i did : generated some elbow output. the .cif was provided to phenix.refine on cmd line. the .pdb had the H's and CONNECT's removed, but the .cif retains them. the .pdb was incorporated into a single .pdb input file. -bryan

phenix and refmac5
by anon 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

Hi, recently i used phenix (AutoSol and AutoBuild) on a SAD dataset containing Iodine. I was wanting to do my refinement using Refmac instead of phenix.refine. I was wondering where would i be able to locate the correct .mtz file to input into Refmac5 for rounds of refinement? I was under the impression the .mtz file used for refinement was the one produced after scaling, but im not sure where phenix puts this. Also I was wondering if anyone had any issues with phenix.xtriage carrying out its Matthews coefficient calculation? When using Phenix, it gave me a solution with 3 mols/AU, despite there being 4 mols/AU according to the Matthews coeffiecient calculation in CCP4. Looking back at the xtriage log in autosol it has n_residues= 200 (despite me not specifying anywhere the number of residues, my protein has 147 residues). Realising this I re-ran Autosol, inputting my .mtz file along with my sequence this time, and specifying the number of NCS copies as 4. Looking at the phenix.xtriage log this time results in it recognising the correct number of residues, however the matthews coefficient calculation is still incorrect, claiming 1 mol/Au. Any ideas what may be the problem? ##-------------------------------------------## ## Unit cell defined manually, will ignore ## specification in reflection file: ## From file : None ## From input: (140.124, 77.954, 54.519, 90, 98.549, 90) ##-------------------------------------------## ##-------------------------------------------## ## Space group defined manually, will ignore ## specification in reflection file: ## From file : C 1 2 1 ## From input: C 1 2 1 ##-------------------------------------------## Effective parameters: #phil __ON__ scaling { input { asu_contents { n_residues = 588 n_bases = None n_copies_per_asu = 4 } Matthews coefficient and Solvent content statistics ---------------------------------------------------------------- | Copies | Solvent content | Matthews Coef. | P(solvent cont.) | |--------|-----------------|----------------|------------------| | 1 | 0.448 | 2.226 | 1.000 | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | Best guess : 1 copies in the asu | ----------------------------------------------------------------

input/output error
by Geoffrey Feld 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Greetings fellow crystallographers, This past weekend, I collected some new data on my new project, indexed, scaled it, and found a phaser solution. The resolution is 3.6 A and I need to find one of the protein components, so I'm slowly refining piece-by-piece so I don't overdo it and flatten out the missing protein. To do this, I simply do rigid body and tls refinements for decreasingly smaller pieces of the protein I've already found. This method worked for me in the past for a similar structure. However, this time, as the refinement is finishing up, I get an input/output error and the program shuts down. Sometimes I get similar errors, and I can fix them by simply running the job again, overwriting the failed job, but this time that doesn't seem to be working. Here's the output from my .log file: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/programs/phenix-1.5-2/phenix/phenix/command_line/refine.py", line 11, in <module> command_line.run(command_name="phenix.refine", args=sys.argv[1:]) File "/programs/phenix-1.5-2/phenix/phenix/refinement/command_line.py", line 89, in run call_back_handler=call_back_handler) File "/programs/phenix-1.5-2/phenix/phenix/refinement/driver.py", line 1121, in run call_back_handler = call_back_handler) File "/programs/phenix-1.5-2/phenix/phenix/refinement/strategies.py", line 428, in refinement_machine monitors = monitors) File "/programs/phenix-1.5-2/cctbx_project/mmtbx/refinement/rigid_body.py", line 559, in __init__ out = log) File "/programs/phenix-1.5-2/cctbx_project/mmtbx/refinement/rigid_body.py", line 619, in show translations=t_vec) File "/programs/phenix-1.5-2/cctbx_project/mmtbx/refinement/print_statistics.py", line 161, in show_rigid_body_rotations_and_translations % euler_angle_convention, suffix=frame) File "/programs/phenix-1.5-2/cctbx_project/libtbx/utils.py", line 652, in write file_object.write(str) IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error Again, the only thing I've done is made a few rigid body and tls groups.

Additionally the file overall_best_denmod_map_coeffs.mtz now contains the above amplitudes along with some kind of density-modified phases. I would caution that this is probably not what you really wanted to do. Instead: Almost always you should use for "data=" a file that contains experimental phases only (not density-modified phases). So it would be better to use the command: phenix.autobuild data=phaser_1.mtz hires_file=hires.sca \ eq_file=sequence.dat maps_only=True which would instead density modify using hl coeffs from modify phaser_1.mtz, extending phase information to the data in hires.sca . Now you will have exptl_fobs_phases_freeR_flags.mtz with (a) experimental amplitudes from hires.sca (b) experimental phases and hl coefficients (where available) from phaser_1.mtz (c) free R flags to the full resolution of hires.sca and overall_best_denmod_map_coeffs.mtz with coefficients for a density-modified map at the resolution of hires.sca. >> >> How do I merge low and high resolution data by >> "phenix.reflection_file_editor"?

Note that merging high and low resolution data requires (1) a scale factor between the datasets and (2) possibly a b-factor or anisotropic b-factor relating the two datasets. It cannot be properly done simply by merging reflection files. The reflection_flle_editor will add free R flags if they are missing or extend them for you if they are present only to low resolution, however. This allows you to take a low-res dataset with free R flags and a high-res dataset with no free R and to transfer the existing low-res free R flags to the high-res dataset and to extend them to full resolution. If you want, you can use phenix.solve to scale low and high resolution data by pretending that they are part of a mad dataset: make a file "scale.csh" like this, after editing to match your case: #!/bin/csh -f cp $PHENIX/solve_resolve/ext_ref_files/c2.sym . phenix.solve<<EOD resolution 20 3.0 cell 76 28 42 90 103 90 symfile c2.sym readdenzo ! readformatted/readdenzo/readtrek/readccp4_unmerged premerged ! premerged/ unmerged read_intensities ! read_intensities/read_amplitudes lambda 1 mad_atom c fprprv_mad 1. fprimv_mad 1. rawmadfile low.sca rawmadfile high.sca skip_solve sad EOD Then run with chmod +x scale.csh ./scale.csh Now solve_1.sca should have your scaled, merged data.

Side chain at special position
by Nate Nicely 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

I have a structure wherein the data show alternate conformations for a particular Trp side chain. The problem is that each of these conformations also occupies a special position: rotamer A clashes with rotamer A of the symmetry object, and similar for rotamer B. I'm attaching a screenshot wherein I tried to capture what's going on. The prerefined structure has a yellow carbon backbone, and you can see how refinement pushes rotamer A out of its rightful place in the map. I readjusted it and added the alternate conformation as seen in the green carbon backbone, but refinement after that just pushes apart both rotamers (not shown). I'd appreciate advice how to handle refining this structure in phenix. Thanks, Nate N

Optimization of weights is usually time consuming and the default weights are just good most of the time. So I usually recommend running weights optimization as the last step to tune up your model. Of course there might be exceptions. Since optimal weight may be different from run to run, they are not stored in .def file for the next runs. Pavel.

structural validation and deposit format
by rui 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Hi, All, Sorry for this stupid question. When I tried to use phenix to validate the structure, it generate geometry outliers, model validation, real-space correlations and a phenix_map_coeffs.mtz file which I assume could be open in coot. How should I use this generated mtz file? When I open in coot, it tellls me core dump. I'm wondering if phenix will automatically do the corrections or should I look one by one in the log file and modify? It also generate a test_reduced.pdb, should I use this reduced pdb ( H added) for next round of refinement? Thanks. Is the format from phenix.refine ready for deposit?

refinement
by r n 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Hi all I do have very low resolution data (around 4 ang), what are the efficient way of doing refinement, either rigid body alone or rigidbody and tls or individual with group_adp. I did both, but not much significant changes in Rfree stays around 48/50%. Also I do have other questions 1. While doing rigid body refinement, phenix complaint about the special position and could not perform rigid body refinement, whereas individual site refinement is working fine. I do have to delete the atom in special position for rigid body refinement? Thanks

Hi Dirk, Try phenix.refine --gui Refine_xx/refine_xx.eff where xx is the run number of your refinement. That should preload all the parameters you had set at least.

Are sigma cutoffs for R-free reflections cheating?
by Joe Krahn 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Using a sigma cutoff in refinement is almost always a bad idea. It appears that some people still use them. The problem is that sigma cutoffs almost always improve R-factors, because it increases the denominator in the error/average equation. Some people incorrectly think that the reduced R-factor means that the cutoff was an improvement in the structure quality. The result of a sigma cutoff is that the R-factor can be made to look better than it really is. I think that this should be prevented by never excluding any R-free reflections by any sort of cutoff criteria. That keeps the R-free value unbiased. If culling R-free is required for proper error analysis, or just because the culled data are almost certainly bogus values, then the un-culled R-free could be a separate value. Now days, most people use a sigma cutoff of zero, so it is normally not a big problem. However, it appears that PHENIX still throws out many reflections where Fobs==0, which can be a significant fraction in the last shell with anisotropic data. Unfortunately, the exclusion of weak reflections depends on how amplitudes were derived. If using CCP4 Truncate, those weak reflections will be inflated a bit to a non-zero value, and a zero-sigma cutoff will have a significantly different affect. Therefore, I think that the default should be to use reflections with Fobs==0, with SigFobs > 0 as the criterion for non-absent reflections in reflection files without a missing number flag (i.e. CNS format).

Clearing old NCS group definitions
by John Pascal 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hello, I am using NCS restraints in phenix.refine, and I am defining the restraints in a parameter file that I read into the GUI interface. After modifying the ncs parameters file, I see in the log file that phenix.refine has used the updated NCS groups, but also retains the old restraints settings. Therefore, the number of NCS groups doubles each time I make an edit. Is there a way to erase the previous NCS restraints? I see that the restraints are accumulating in the project_data/*.eff files. Are those read in by default on consecutive runs? I am probably missing something obvious, but I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Is it possible to do Molecular Replacement for synthesized "small" molecule X-ray data?
by Yves Wang 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

Hi PHENIX users, We've got a synthesized molecule, called Cucurbit[7]uril, molecular weight 1163 Da. We were able to grow crystals of cucurbit[7]uril with one of its ligand. This crystal diffracted to 1.5A at our X-ray machine. The dilemma is that, at this resolution, we can't use small molecule crystallography softwares to solve the structure (correct me if I'm wrong, we need at least 1A resolution?), while macromolecular X-ray softwares are really not designed for synthesized molecules. We have collected diffraction data of this crystal with decent quality. So I'm wondering if there's any way we can put a known crystal structure of cucurbit[7]uril and solve the structure of the complex. We have tried AutoMR but the solution is not very encouraging. Any suggestion will be gratefully appreciated.

Re: [phenixbb] Problem using MOSFLM-integrated MAD data
by Chen, Yu Wai 08 Dec '09

Dear All, Thanks to all those who have responded to my previous query. The problem was due to I used MOSFLM raw data without scaling or sorting. I put the MOSFLM data through SORTMTZ and SCALA and output as "unmerged intensities in SCALEPACK format" and that error I mentioned earlier in the BB has gone. SOLVE completed successfully with some possible solutions. But now I have another problem. When RESOLVE tries to run DM, it reported another problem which seems to indicate it cannot read the scala-produced file correctly. The last bit of the log file before AutoSol stopped is as follows. I also print out the first few lines of the scala-produced SCALEPACK-format data file at the bottom for your diagnosis. Can you advise me what went wrong (and how to fix it)? Thanks a lot. Regards.

Hi Peter, Thanks for your reply. >This data can be processed to P3 or P321 with the R-fac almost the same >After that, I used Bales to do the MR, two solutions were found in P32 >(dimmer) and one in P32 21 (monomer) >Then, I refine the structure using phenix.refine in both P32 and P32 21 sets, but the R/Rfree stopped at 0.19/0.25 and never goes down. >However, if I treat the P32 data as a twin (with twin law h,-h-k,-l ), the R/Rfree can down to 0.12/0.18. >Do an R vs R analysis by loading up a model as well in xtriage to get a clue about the extend of the pseudo symmetry. I do the R vs R analysis with P32 in xtriage, but the R value seems very close to zero. And the D_ncs is high (0.95) in resolution range 9.9841-4.2623, which may indicate an incorrect point group?

Re: [phenixbb] Phenix installation issue

Well, I've dowloaded the installer again and changed my use of tar from -xvf to -xf option. Then reran the installation It went through and everything seems to work now. The only thing is that i'm normally running bash shell and that phenix doesn't work so. sourcing the phenix_env does not work under bash (setenv) Did I miss something or switching to tcsh is necessary ?
