Rosetta Refinement problem
by Appu kumar 10 Jul '15

10 Jul '15

Dear All, I have installed Rosetta successfully on Linux machine and after installation it say building done. While refining a structure with "phenix.rosetta_refine" it is giving following problem End of input processing Sorry: The RosettaScripts executable could not be located. Please add the appropriate directory to your PATH environment variable, or set the variable ROSETTA_BIN to point to it. In my .cshrc file i have setup the path as follow setenv PHENIX_ROSETTA_PATH /home/appu/2014_09_29_NSLS_X29/rosetta_bin_linux_2015.25.57927_bundle setenv ROSETTA_BIN /home/appu/2014_09_29_NSLS_X29/rosetta_bin_linux_2015.25.57927_bundle/main/source/bin setenv phenix /home/appu/software/phenix/phenix-1.9-1692 setenv ROSETTA3_DB /home/appu/2014_09_29_NSLS_X29/rosetta_bin_linux_2015.25.57927_bundle/main/database I would appreciate any help and suggestions in executing the Rosetta refinement Thank you Appu

problems with rosetta
by Benny Belviso 09 Jul '15

09 Jul '15

Dear all, I am trying to use rosetta with the Phenix Gui (Phenix is installed on Debian). I have downloaded the tar.gz file named "rosetta_bin_linux_2015.25.57927_bundle" that contains source and binary files. Becouse the tar.gz contains pre-compiled files, I have not compiled rosetta again (however, I have the same problems also in the case of tar.gz containing source after the compilation). According to the instructions showed on http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index.php/Phenix#Installa… I have setup my environmental variables in .bashrc as: export PHENIX_ROSETTA_PATH=/home/bbdanilo/program/rosetta_bin_linux_2015.25.57927_bundle export ROSETTA3_DB=$PHENIX_ROSETTA_PATH/main/database However, by opening MR-Rosetta on Phenix GUI, I get a first warning message that says me that rosetta directory seems to be not correct. By running rosetta, the program says that it is not able to find PHENIX_ROSETTA_PATH. I have tried to change the path also in the "Directory setup" by typing /home/bbdanilo/program/rosetta_bin_linux_2015.25.57927_bundle as directory for rosetta path /main/source/bin as Rosetta binary directory name mr_protocols.linuxgccrelease as binary of rosetta In this case, the program says that does not find the binary for rosetta (it requires mr_rosetta.default, instead I should use mr_protocols.linuxgccrelease). What am I doing wrong? Any help is welcome. Thanks. Danilo This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.

Re: [phenixbb] on determination whether a protein is a monomer or complex by phenix

Hi Smith, Your solvent content is most likely the 66% one (if you have diffraction to about 1A there's a chance it could be 33%.....in which case try to solve it with Balbes (ccp4)). You can not tell what the crystal packing is like until you solve the structure! Even if you know how many molecules you have in your a.s.u. you can not tell if the contacts are formed because of crystal packing or oligo formation! Its much better to look at your protein in solution for this (as i said before!)

Weird problem of Coot fetch PDB&Map using PDB_redo
by Xiao Lei 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Hi All, Today I found one weird problem of coot. I have coot installed in different platforms, I have coot 0.8.1 version in Ubuntu 15.04 and coot 0.8.1 version in Mac OS X 10.10.3, and I also have wincoot 0.8.1 in Windows 8.1. When I tried to fetch pdb&map using EDS, coot in all three platforms works very well. However, when I tried to fetch pdb&map using PDB_redo, only the windows wincoot works, which shows "successfully read coordinates...". The coot in mac and Ubuntu failed to fetch and shows "failed to read coordinates file...". I do not think the problem comes from PDB_redo as I tried to fetch the same pdb to compare coot in three platforms, only wincoot works well. I do not know if anyone else has this problem and how to fix it. Thanks ahead. Xiao

phenix rosetta refine
by Jens Kaiser 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Hey there, who would be the person to talk about setting up phenix.rosetta_refine? I tried our SBgrid installation with overrides to "nightly" for phenix and rosetta; I tried a clean install of rosetta and phenix - production version and nightly's in all combinations - and all combinations of compiling (rosetta first, then rosetta.build_phenix_interface, phenix first, then rosetta.build_phenix_interface). The problem is that "phenix.rosetta_refine" seems to run, and produce a log file that looks reasonable, but geometry params are worse than with an ordinary refine. I think I tracked it down to the fact that the "rosetta_XX.sh" files are empty, and rosetta actually does not run. Any help is welcome - and any support will be extended. Cheers, Jens

Re: [phenixbb] Optimal settings for finding NCS from density
by Terwilliger, Thomas Charles 05 Jul '15

05 Jul '15

Hi William, For find_ncs_from_density the shape of the molecule itself is not so important. What matters is if there is some local part of the molecule that is recognizable in both copies. So I would try default parameters first. I assume you did that and it didn't give you a useful answer...so then I would do these things: 1. try many locations : n_center_use=20 This is the best option...it will try 20 times using density at 20 different locations to search. If you have an older version of phenix you may need to download a nightly build to do this. 2. Try varying the resolution 3. Try varying the angular spacing of the search (delta_phi) All the best, Tom T ________________________________ From: CCP4 bulletin board [CCP4BB(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK] on behalf of William Chao [William.Chao(a)CRICK.AC.UK] Sent: Friday, July 03, 2015 10:24 AM To: CCP4BB(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: [ccp4bb] Optimal settings for finding NCS from density Dear all, What would be the best settings to look for NCS using phenix.find_ncs_from_density on an elongated (~150A) molecule?

labelit access in Phenix?
by Keller, Jacob 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Dear Phenix list, Does anyone know how to access labelit through Phenix to determine whether the highest possible symmetry has been found? I exclusively use the GUI, and it's on win7. In the labelit documentation/homepage it mentions the command: labelit.check_pdb_symmetry [pdb coordinate file] [data=mtz file] But I did not find any executables called labelit, nor can I figure out how to run Phenix from command line in Win7, short of installing Cygwin or something.

metal refinement: adps and restraints
by Alexandra Marques 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Hi, I am refining a protein with a Mo in the active site and which is bound to a cofactor and to a water molecule. After each refinement step there is always a lot of positive and negative density around the Mo and the cofactor molecules, although their occupancy refined to 1. I read this message http://www.phenix-online.org/pipermail/phenixbb/2015-May/022031.html, but I still have doubts about how to choose the refinement parameters. I know I have to select the Mo atoms to be refined anisotropically. And the other atoms, do I have to specifically select them to be refined isotropically?. For instance: Isotropic atoms: not element Mo Anisotropic atoms: element Mo I am asking that because I have been using TLS for the protein atoms during refinement, so I am not sure if it is correct to select the other atoms as isotropic or if I leave it in blank… My other problem is with the metal restraints. I am not sure about the ideal distance between the Mo and O atom but based on homologous protein structures I choose the following: refinement.geometry_restraints.edits { bond { action = *add atom_selection_1 = name MO and chain A and resname 4MO and resseq 1 atom_selection_2 = name O and chain A and resname O and resseq 2 distance_ideal = 1.900000 sigma = 0.050 } } However after the refinement this ideal distance interval (1.95-1.85) is not respected; I have 4 active sites and in some of them the Mo-O distance refines to 0.83 A although there is a lot of density for the water molecule to be at 1.9 A. How to make the restrainst work? Am I missing something? Thank you very much, Alexandra

accept MR solution even if the number of clashes is above the threshold
by Almudena Ponce Salvatierra 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Hi everyone, I am running Phaser (from Phenix) and while checking the .log file (it is still running) I realize that it found some solutions with a TFZ score over 7, but it won't take them I guess because the number of clashes is higher than allowed (>12, I guess they're not so many either). My models are poor and for so I would like to check these solutions that for now Phaser will reject. However in the input I don't want to increase the allowed number of clashes because this will then affect all the other solutions and this will take forever... So my question is: can I tell phaser somehow to write down/save the solutions for which the TFZ score will be higher than 7? Even though the clashes Thanks a lot in advance All the best, Almu -- Almudena Ponce-Salvatierra Macromolecular crystallography and Nucleic acid chemistry Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry Am Fassberg 11 37077 Göttingen Germany

Hello All, I was wondering if there is a simulated annealing refinement for the just one domain and keeping the other domain fix. I have a structure where the electron density is poorly defined which could be because of the some conformation of domain is different. Although the resolution of the data is 4A but channel has well defined density in the TM domain. Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions. Appu

Dear Phenix list, I have generated an mtz file with phenix.composite_omit_map. It has labels assigned as 2mFo-DFC for F and PH2mFo-DFC for P. Now, I would like to generate a map file. I was trying to convince phenix.maps to use this mtz file to do that, however it didn't seem to like the labels. I tried both the GUI interface of phenix.maps and also tried to force feed it through the command line with a maps.param file. Neither of these worked, so I'm obviously missing something. Btw., Coot can open the mtz file and display the map, and it does look reasonable. This is phenix-1.9-1692 running under RHEL6. Thank you for your help.

Dear Weifei, I am neither in the Phenix nor in the CCP4 teams so I let me remark that it does not look reasonable, just a few minutes after Tom Terwilliger's mail : "I'll answer you on the Phenix BB as you've asked specific questions about Phenix tools." sending your mail (see below) asking explicitly phenix questions again through the CCP4bb. I do not think that you "disturb", you should not sorry for this, the BB are for this, but we need to follow the rules. I ask everybody to respect both ccp4 and phenix teams, who assures a lot of service and help for our community, and send your requests properly (for your own benefit), through the BB concerned. My another request (luckily not applicable to the Weifei mail) is that people always sign properly their mails and give their name when asking their questions : ccp4, phenix teams and other experts answer you openly and this looks quite weird seeing anonymous requests. Again, this is for your own benefit, for your better integration into the research community.

Then I run Phaser to generate the first maps, and it gives a score of 25 and LLG of 190 or so... The next step would be running Autobuild, however, the first models I realize it is building have R work and R free between 50 and 55%. So I guess it is just some random stuff there. If the result from HySS and Phaser looks more or less good, why does AutoBuild show these numbers?? Any idea of what I could do to improve so? Any ideas are welcome.

Optimal Linux configuration for Phenix.refine
by Colin Levy 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Apologies for the slightly off topic question. I am configuring a Linux workstation and would like your thoughts on an optimal setup for running Phenix. A lot of my computing time is spent in refinement and I am keen to put something together that will see a considerable increase in speed from my creaking Mac Pro (2 2.4GHz Quad core Intel Xeon with 24Gb RAM).

Fw:Re: Autobuild Density

Dear All, Is any method to make the density modified map (from AutoBuild) comparable to the 2mFo-DFc map (from phenix.refine)?

If that's the case the maps are going to look differently indeed, so it's not too unexpected.

Autobuild Density
by Appu kumar 18 Jun '15

Dear All, I have query about the density map from autobuild. The density map from the autobuild look exceptionally good at 3.8A resolution. But when i refined the autobuild pdb against the original mtz file, the density become worse. Is it i am doing something wrong or i have to use some parameterization? Structure is solved with the MR.

Get R values without refining in phenix.refine
by Murpholino Peligro 17 Jun '15

How can I get R values without refining anything? Just to check if my newest model is better than the old one?
