Rotamer Selection in Low Resolution Data
by Antony Oliver 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

Dear Crystallographic Community, Apologies for the cross-posting, but I *do* routinely use programs from all three software packages. I find myself refining a relatively low resolution structure (3.5 Angstrom) - with 8 molecules in the asymmetric unit. Is there a *simple* automated way to place “optimal-fit to electron density" side-chain rotamers into my model? Preferably in an NCS-independant manner?

special positions
by Yarrow Madrona 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hi, I am trying to do rigid body refinement, however I get an error in phenix telling me that there are atoms at special positions. I am not sure how to determine which atoms are at special positions so that I can exclude them from rigid body refinement. Can someone help me with this? Thank you. -Yarrow

strange increase of R/Rfree in the last tow steps of a macrocycle
by Christian Roth 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Dear Phenix-Team, I did a refinement of 5 macrocycles and it worked really well for 4 cycles, but in the last cycle the R/Rfee increased by nearly 1 percent. Specifically in the last ADP refinement. I don't really understand why. Do you have any comments what might be the problem. it seems that the as optimal chosen weight is not the optimal weight at all. I have copied the relevant part of the logfile in. Thanks in advance for your help.

Strange distance in HEM.cif ligands in phenix library
by Yarrow Madrona 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Hello, After validating a PDB for deposition I received a message that the HEME ligand C2D-C3D distance was longer than ideal. It was 1.52 angstroms, while it was 1.35 for C2A-C3A, C2B-C3B and C2C-C3C. The ideal bond length is listed as 1.544 vs. 1.337 for the other bonds in $PHENIX/chem_data/mon_lib/h/HEM.cif Is there a reason for this? If not, I am inclined to edit it. -Yarrow

Occupancy refinement of secondary conformation doesn't add up to 1.00
by Benjamin Stauch 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

Hi Phenix, I do a refinement of a glycoprotein that has a NAG-NAG attached to an Asn. The data set is very high resolution and I am positive there is indication of a secondary conformation of the entire attachement. I modeled a second conformation in Coot and run my refinement, with the "adjust occupancy" option checked. After initially setting both occupancies to 0.5, I am puzzled to see one of the NAGs to be refined to 0.45 (conformer A) and 0.75 (conformer B) occupancy .. For the other NAG, and indeed all amino acid residues, things always add up like they should. Additionally to this, I was wondering if there was an easy option to restrain each conformer of the entire Asn-NAG-NAG group to have uniform occupancies -- i.e. the Asn and both NAGs of conformer A to have identical occupancy. Thanks and best Ben

Prime and switch crashing
by Oliver Clarke 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Hi all, I’m getting an error running phenix.prime_and_switch_map that I can’t figure out. It crashes shortly after F(model) initialization. The last part of the log and traceback is appended below - if anyone can figure out what I’m doing wrong I’d be very grateful! I’m running dev-1702 on a Mac (not sure whether this is a mac specific issue though). This happens with multiple different pdb/mtz combinations, so I don’t think it is something specific to my files. Best, Oliver.

pdb file with duplicate atom names (Hydrogens)
by Rex Palmer 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

I have taken over a high resolution set of protein data which has H atoms built in. For non-H atoms having 2 or three H atoms these H atoms each carry the same atom number in the pdb file. Phenix will not accept this format. Should I delete all H-atoms and reassign them in the next Phenix refinement run?

NAG-NAG link definition seems to have no effect
by Benjamin Stauch 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Hi Phenix, apologies for the beginner question, and I do realise that there are some related threads already but nothing so far has helped me to solve this problem. I want to refine a model that has two NAGs linked to an Asn - the sugars are already part of my initial coordinate file, but upon refinement the link between the NAGs gets lost. I have defined a cif_link file as follows that I load (using the GUI), apply_cif_link { data_link = "NAG-ASN" residue_selection_1 = "chain A and resname NAG and resid 401" residue_selection_2 = "chain A and resname ASN and resid 74" } apply_cif_link { data_link = "BETA1-4" residue_selection_1 = "chain A and resname NAG and resid 401" residue_selection_2 = "chain A and resname NAG and resid 402" } when checking the .geo file phenix.refine outputs, I do not see any restraints between Asn and NAG, nor NAG and NAG. There might be some clues in the refine.log file: Build ligand and use monomer library to name atoms : NAG Using monomer library entry NAG as template which I guess looks good, and then something like this which could be where things are going wrong: Monomer Library directory: "c:\phenix-1.8.4-1496\phenix-1.8.4-1496_sources\chem_data\mon_lib" Total number of atoms: 11298 Number of models: 1 Model: "" Number of chains: 4 Chain: "A" Number of atoms: 5075 Number of conformers: 2 Conformer: "A" Number of residues, atoms: 319, 4675 Unusual residues: {'NAG': 2} Classifications: {'undetermined': 2, 'peptide': 317} Modifications used: {'NH3': 1} Link IDs: {'PTRANS': 27, None: 2, 'TRANS': 287, 'PCIS': 2} Not linked: pdbres="ALA A 317 " segid="A " pdbres="NAG A 401 " segid="A " Not linked: pdbres="NAG A 401 " segid="A " pdbres="NAG A 402 " segid="A " Unresolved non-hydrogen bonds: 2 Unresolved non-hydrogen angles: 4 Unresolved non-hydrogen chiralities: 2 Refinement doesn't crash or produce errors as far as I can see, however when checking the MolProbity output after refinement, it complains of missing atoms O1 in NAG 401 and 402. (Not sure if this is relevant) Furthermore there's still a HO4 attached to the O4 of NAG ... while the BETA1-4 should care to delete it .. however the mon_lib reads BETA1-4 . DEL-HO4 pyranose . DEL-O1 pyranose glycosidic_bond_beta1-4 which doesn't seem entirely relevant for my case? Any help would be appreciated Thanks! Ben

Run PHENIX commands on GUI verison?
by 李翔 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Hi, I currently can only access to PHENIX with my laptop which has a Windows system (GUI). I want to run some commands for generating restraints for my models such as: iotbx.show_distances MR.1.pdb > contacts.distances, phenix.secondary_structure_restraints model.pdb Is there a way I can run commands in GUI version or can I run the above commands in the GUI version? Thanks for your help! Sincerely, Xiang -- Li Xiang Department of chemistry, Purdue University Email：lixiang1642(a)gmail.com

B-factors for some sidechains were not refined well
by Zhou, Tongqing (NIH/VRC) [E] 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Dear colleagues, I am refining one structure at 1.94 A with phenix.refine with individual b, TLS, and xyz. The Rwork and Rfree are now at 16.1 and 19.8%. But when inspecting the maps, I noticed that the sidechain tip of some residues showed positive density and the b-factor for those atoms were very high while those for the other atoms of the same residues were normal; The b-factors for newly added ligands were also not refined well showing high b-value and positive density at the same time; the disulfide bonds also show positive density and high B. The occupancy were all set to 1. Please give suggestions. Thanks!

launching MR jobs from the command line.
by Francis Reyes 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

Hi all, For the moment (1.9-1692) phenix.automr still works from the command line but I received a note that it's a 'Deprecated program' . ************************************************************************ WARNING - DEPRECATED PROGRAM Please note: the command-line AutoMR tool and associated GUI have been deprecated and will be removed in future releases. We recommend that you use phenix.mrage or phenix.phaser, both of which are available in the GUI. The program will resume execution in 5 seconds. ************************************************************************ phenix.mrage doesn't resolve to anything, and phenix.phaser runs the phaser binary. Is there a new way to launch MR jobs from the command line (which had all the PHIL friendly goodies that automr had?) ? Thanks, F

difference map peak in coot not showing all peaks?
by Murpholino Peligro 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

In coot I have set the map contour level to 5.0 rmsd and I do Validate -> Difference Map Peaks ... and the new window shows me where the peaks are...but not all of them. For example, see screenshot attached. (there are peaks above sg cys80 and sg cy64, both appear in the visual window in coot but only one of them, cys80, in the listing. If I understand clearly, they should both appear in the visual window and in the listing because I have the same filter (5.0 rmsd). Right? Now...the peaks values are from Phenix doing a Isomorphous Difference Map ... So I do not know if this is from Coot or from Phenix.

Autosol and sequence file
by Stefan Knight 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

I don’t seem to have much luck with Phenix these days… Trying to run Autosol from the GUI but the process aborts immediately complaining that a sequence file is required to run Autosol. I have given it a sequence file in fasta format that is recognised as such when added. I’ve also tried instead pasting the sequence into the Crystal info window but that didn’t help. Grateful for any tip on how to convince Phenix it has all it needs to get going ;-).

How to add difference map peak value to B-factor column in Phenix-Coot after isomorphous difference map?
by Murpholino Peligro 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Hi all. How to add a difference map peak value to B-factor column in Phenix-Coot after isomorphous difference map? Because what I get (after Phenix Isomorphous Difference Map) is a pdb with the peaks (chain A) and holes (chain B) with their positions given by UNKnown atoms, 1 for occupancy and in the B-column their peak-or-hole value. I would be happy if I could get the actual atoms with positions and the peak-or-hole value in the B-column. Thanks again and again.

molecular replacement keeping hetatms?
by Murpholino Peligro 27 May '14

27 May '14

Can I do molecular replacement with phenix/phaser, keeping all the waters from the first model from the first data set? >From here ( http://www.phaser.cimr.cam.ac.uk/index.php/Molecular_Replacement#WATER), I should change all the HOH labels to something like WWW. Then I guess that I should put HOH labels again in the solution model, for the following refinement in phenix.refine. Is that it?... Any suggestions? thanks again!

(no subject)
by Fulvio Saccoccia 27 May '14

27 May '14

Dear phenix users and developers, in the past I usually used the fix_rotamers=true options to fix some residue issues. Now, this option is lacking (I currently use the dev-1702 version of phenix) but I was wondering if some other option does replace it. In addition, I would like to know better how real_space_refinement works; is there any tutorial or presentation about it? Thanks in advance -- Fulvio Saccoccia, PhD Dept. of Biochemical Sciences Sapienza University of Rome 00185, Rome (Italy) Phone: +39 06 4991 0556 https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Fulvio_Saccoccia/?ev=hdr_xprf

Three positions open at the MAX IV Laboratory
by Marjolein Thunnissen 22 May '14

22 May '14

The MAX IV facility, the largest and most ambitious Swedish investment in research infrastructure, will be the brightest source of x-rays worldwide and will replace the existing laboratory, which today consists of the storage rings MAX I, II and III. The new MAX IV facility will become operational in June 2016. To extend the suite of already funded beamlines, MAX IV Laboratory is planning the next set of beam lines. Therefore The MAX IV laboratory in Lund has opened two positions within the life-science division. We are looking for two beamline scientists, one for the biomedical imaging beamline MEDMAX and one for the microfocus beamline MicroMAX. For both these positions the scientist will be overseeing the development, construction and commissioning of the MedMAX, respectively MicroMAX beamline from its conceptual stage to full operation. Both beam lines are planned to be cutting edge beam lines, fully exploiting the excellent properties of the MAX IV 3GeV storage ring. In addition we are also looking for a software engineer to be engaged in the design of the MX software infrastructure at the beamline for protein crystallography which is under construction, BioMAX. More information on these positions can be found at https://www.maxlab.lu.se/positions and the links within this page, or from our Life-Sciences director Tomas Lundqvist . best regards Marjolein Thunnissen [cid:3A2194AC-734C-45EB-B5A7-CE7FC0F0F1BC] Marjolein Thunnissen Science Coordinator MX MAX IV Laboratory Lund University P.O.
