Autobuild peptide?
by ckielkop 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hi, We have a molecular replacement RNA structure with a bound peptide. I'd like phenix autobuild the peptide, because only a portion of it is bound and we'd like an unbiased, silicon opinion about what that portion is. It's not clear to me how to proceed with this in phenix- we have a beautiful electron density map from CNS, coordinates for the RNA portion, and peptide sequence. Thanks for any guidance! -- Clara L.

Build problems: 1.24.1b on SLES9
by Chris Richardson 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

Dear all, I've just been trying to install 1.24.1 beta on a new server running SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9. The machine's a dual Xeon, so I've been using the 64-bit linux 2.6 build. I'm invoking install with ./install --prefix=/common/app/phenix-1.24.1b Installation fails with the message configuring PHENIX components Error configuring: see /common/app/phenix-installer-1.24.1b/ build-binary/intel-linux-2.6-x86_64/zaltu/log/binary.log for details Looking at the log file, the last few lines are ./iotbx/iotbx/shelx/from_ins.py ./iotbx/iotbx/shelx/write_ins.py ./ccp4io_502_cci/ ./ccp4io_502_cci/lib/ ./ccp4io_502_cci/lib/src/ ./ccp4io_502_cci/lib/data/ ./ccp4io_502_cci/lib/data/symop.lib ./ccp4io_502_cci/CCI_DIFFS python: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory SLES v9 uses libstdc++.so.5. Python works fine on this machine and is linked to libstdc++.so.5. I assume (probably incorrectly) that the error comes from some component of Phenix that is linked to the later version of the library. Does anybody have handy hints for installation on SLES? I would try it with SLES v10, but that would conflict with other packages we have running on that machine. TIA, Chris -- Dr Chris Richardson - sysadmin, Structural Biology Section, icr.ac.uk

Problems running demo
by Miguel Ortiz Lombardia 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear all, Sorry if this kind of problems have been posted before, I tried unsuccessfully to find a relevant FAQ. I'm new to Phenix, so I thought it would be a good idea to run the GUI demo first. I installed, set up the programs and copied the data in a directory and did as instructed in the demonstration sequence page. I find two problems: 1. When I call the GUI I don't see the Tasks tab (well, perhaps not a problem, just a misunderstanding) 2. After I load the AutoSol wizard and press "Continue" the wizard doesn't turn to green. Instead, it remains blue and get this message in the console: (...)

s_annealing within AutoBUILD
by Noinaj 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Hi, I am running AUTOBUILD on a friend's structure, and noticed in the log file the s_annealing parameter set to false. Is it possible to set this parameter to true when doing an AUTOBUILD run, say to do s_a after each build cycle? I have read that I can use phenix.refine at the command line to run s_annealing, but didn't know if I could modify this option within the wizards. I checked out the list of parameters which I am allowed to change, but didn't see s_anneal anywhere. Thanks for all replies in advance!

How to use phenix for SAD data
by pramod＠cdfd.org.in 11 Jul '06

11 Jul '06

Hi all i am using the Phenix-GUI first time ,for solving the sad data. I processed my raw data with the mosflm.Further output of the mosflm were used for getting other information or working through this data.so, i started with the strteiges of solve through mad. after setinmg up all the anamolous parameters ,this is always displaying red in the very first in the setup anamolous data gui with the information that format error.i used the format ccp4 unmerged i.e the direct output of the mosflm after integration.i also used the conversion of mtz file into hkl through ccp4 scaling and merging intensities-in which one option i used is the get output as unmerged intensities but, that also didnot worked. suggestions will be appreciated and also i want the deatiled information about how to use the phenix gui properly. with regards Pramod Kumar Junior Research Fellow c/o-Dr.Shekher C Mande Center for DNA Fingerprinting and Diognostics ECIL road Nacharam Hyderabad-76 -

Problem on Running Phenix
by 崔中利 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

Dear All, I have just installed phenix 1.24.1b and tested my data on this version of Phenix. I tried Autosol. There should be 4 windows to finish the parameter setup according to the documents. But I met a problem after setting the pathway of file of protein sequence (2nd window). The window didn't change to green after I set the pathway and pressed Continue. But from the CPU indicator I knew it was running (100% CPU occupation). And from the log file, I found the program set the resolution automaticlly (3rd window). But after serveral hours' running, I get nothing. What's more, the running sequence was a bit different to the online document of Phenix. The setup window (1st window) appeared first, then the Autosol program window. I don't know what wrong happened to my running, problem of software or my computer. Zhongli

Hi, I am new to PHENIX and would like to get a bit of guidance. I am helping a friend with her structure using SAD phasing. She has 4 Se/molecule with 4 mol/ASU. We used Solve to find her sites with nice occupancy, and then ran AUTOBUILD, just to see how it did. It is returning map correlation coeff, Z-scores, etc. What are good numbers for these parameters? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Nick

This most likely means you have downloaded the binairies that do not match your machine architecture. See the readme file: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------- Currently, the following Redhat Linux platforms are tested, and therefore supported for the distribution: - Redhat 8.0 - Redhat 9.0 - Redhat Enterprise Workstation 3 [+/- x86_64] - Redhat Enterprise Server 4.2 [+/- x86_64] - Fedora Core 3 [+/- x86_64] - Fedora Core 5 [+/- x86_64] Redhat versions prior to 8.0 are not supported. PHENIX should also install on other Linux platforms such as Mandrake, or SuSe. There are 4 different Linux installations available, based on the version of the kernel (2.4 or 2.6) and the CPU type (ix86 or x86_64). If it isn't clear which you need then type this command on the machine in question: % uname -rm The first item is the kernel version, the second is the machine hardware. Please download the appropriate installer based on this table: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - | hardware \ kernel | 2.4 | 2.6 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - | ix86 | intel-linux-2.4 | intel-linux-2.6 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - | x86_64 | intel-linux-2.4-x86_64| intel-linux-2.6- x86_64| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Currently, the following other Unix platforms are tested, and therefore supported for the distribution: - Compaq Tru64 5.1 - SGI Irix 6.5[*] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ i.e., check if if you have a 2.4 or 2.6 linux kernel and what your cpu type is. for me, I get this: 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp i686 i.e, i need the 2.6 , ix86 version.

HKL2000 and Phenix?
by ckielkop 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi, I wonder if anyone else has had trouble running both Phenix and HKL2000 on the same linux workstation? Once Phenix we have installed and used Phenix, the HKL2000 cr_info license becomes invalid, and vice versa. A linux guru suggested in passing that our bash system has a 'license' file that gives the directories of the licenses somewhere, and that this file needs both license directories added explicitly. But where would this file be? Thanks for the help! Clara

TEXTAL Model from map
by Andrzej LYSKOWSKI 09 May '06

09 May '06

Hi, I have one question and one problem. TEXTAL expects map in X-PLOR format but what kind of map? One can make a number of different maps in CCP4 (simple, mFo-nFc, etc.). Which type make TEXTAL happy? I've tried to run 'Build Complete Model from map' strategy and what ever I do it seems to get stuck at: Stitching and Filtering C-alpha chains... - simply nothing happens anymore. What could be a problem? Just to mention it does build a model when I use '... from mtz' strategy.

Judging AutoSol Output
by agb838＠mail.usask.ca 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

I have some basic questions about the output from Phenix. Basically I have a data set that gave a solution, but I am not exactly sure how to tell about the quality of the solution from the outputs. The overall score is 110. I am not sure exactly what that refers to or how good/bad it is. I have attached the AutoSol.output file. Any basic suggestions at what I should be looking at, or if this is even the right file, would be helpful. The resolve.mtz and resolve.pdb look alright. They are a good start, but much improvement is needed. If anyone has some suggestions as to how to improve the output, that would also be helpful. I have also run the data through solve/resolve through the command prompt and it repeatedly locates four heavy atom sites (the data set is SAD). Yet, when Phenix is used, 16 sites are found. Why the difference and how do I tell what is working better and why. Thank you, Angela Hoffort

Juding from your output, it find most sites in 1 go. If you want to compare sites you find by Solve, Hyss, or famous programs from Buffalo or Goettingen, use iotbx.emma ha_from_autosol.pdb other.pdb To get an idea how many sites are matching. As far as I understand it, the overall score is a score relative to the other hand and other solutions and its absolute value is not so important, as long as it is (much) larger that any other solution. In your case, solution 1 has a score of 110, solution has a solution of 63. It is also finding NCS, which seems to be good (NCS correlation of 0.66 early no allready). Improvement of the pdb file is obtained by runnnig the modelbuild wizard I think. The Autosol wizard only carries out a limit number of model building cycles and the modelbuild wizard does a more thorough job.

phenix.refine Crashes with "ZeroDivisionError: float division"
by Dale Tronrud 14 Apr '06

14 Apr '06

Hi, I'm new to phenix and phenix.refine. I am trying to refine a protein with phenix.refine but the program crashes quite quickly. I have appended all of the output below, but the critical part is (I believe): File "/usr/local/phenix-1.1a/cctbx/cctbx/miller.py", line 432, in auto_anomalous anomalous_flag = (2*self.n_bijvoet_pairs()/self.indices().size() ZeroDivisionError: float division Apparently, self.indices().size() is zero, but I don't know why or really what that is. My mtz file does not contain any anomalous data. It just has F, SigF, and a free R flag for the positive octant of data. (Well, since this is P6122 the positive duodecant.) Any advise would be appreciated.

I suspect you have the following situation: drwx------ 2 rwgk cci 4096 Mar 14 10:47 phenix-1.1a I.e. when you installed phenix the "umask" was set such that "group" and/or "others" don't have read permission. Please verify my suspicion with ls -d $PHENIX If you see the "drwx------" or maybe "drwxr-x---" it is easy to fix. Use the su command to become root, then: find phenix-1.1a -exec chmod go+r {} \; find phenix-1.1a -type d -exec chmod go+x {} \; Cheers, Ralf

I forgot to include the plumbing for the --force_symmetry option. Sorry, this is getting ugly. To use your unmerged reflection file, edit this Python script in the iotbx tree: echo `libtbx.show_dist_paths iotbx`/iotbx/scalepack/no_merge_original_index.py Replace all "force_symmetry=False" with "force_symmetry=True", then try again.

Sorry. However, it went unnoticed because we usually supply the correct space group (along with the missing unit cell parameters) via --symmetry=some_other_file You could also use --unit_cell=10,20,30,90,90,90 --space_group=197 Mostly I prefer --symmetry because there is less of a chance to mistype. Also, quite often the space group in a reflection file is not correct anyway (e.g. P222 vs. P212121). > the CCP4 program scala can output a 'no merge original index' format > file, which has all 24 i23 symmetry operators in the header - but > iotbx.reflection_statistics cannot read that either I think you should be able to use the .sca file with the --symmetry or --space_group option. I've never tried to work with scala 'no merge original index' files. If you could send me your files I will look into fixing both problems.

That's right. The simple merging in the cctbx is meant to be a stop-gap measure. It is best to merge externally with a program specifically designed for this purpose. Thanks for reporting the bug!

Hi - I hope this is the right place to post this iotbx.reflection_statistics returns space group 195 for a scalepack 'no merge original index' .sca file for space group 123 (i.e space group 197) the first line of the .sca file is 12 i23 the CCP4 program scala can output a 'no merge original index' format file, which has all 24 i23 symmetry operators in the header - but iotbx.reflection_statistics cannot read that either cheers Peter Metcalf

Re: [phenixbb] unknown space group problem
by Thomas C. Terwilliger 03 Mar '06

Hi Angela, Thanks for sending me the data. I'm sorry about the problem reading your mtz files. The problem with reading the files is that some of the amplitudes in the mtz files are very big, leading to overflows written out as "****" when AutoSol converts them to .sca files. This problem is fixed in the current version of AutoSol, but that doesn't help you much. In the meantime, the solution is to convert the mtz files to sca and scale them so they don't overflow. I used phenix to do this with iotbx.reflection_file_converter idhrem_i23.mtz --label='F_refm101(+)' --sca=rem.sca to do this. The 3 .sca files seem to run ok now. I'm having trouble sending attachments so I didn't attach it, but if you have trouble reproducing my result I'll be happy to send you the converted files.

I am sorry i sent my previous mail by mistake Banu Tom, If this lady does indeed send you the data, Would you be so kind to run the latest version of xtriage on it to see wheter or not tyhe spacegroup is correct?

unknown space group problems
by Angela Hoffort 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

I am trying to sovle MAD data using the PHENIX software. I am using the AutoSol wizard. My data is integrated in R3. Phenix keeps spitting out the error that this space group is either unknown or the cell dimensions are inappropriate to the space group (the are a=b=c=159 and alpha=beta=gamma=109). Is there a glitch with thi space group or am I doing something wrong. Phaser tends to have the same problem with this space group and I can not seem to get around it. If I provide data in a different space group I can get past this problem only to be confronted with another problem regarding the column labels in my mtz files. I have six data sets collected. Two for each of three different wavelengths. Each of the two for a single wavelength is scaled seperately and then merged together using ccp4. I have taken a lot of effort to make sure that the column labels do not repeat in these files, yet I continually get column label errors when I run three mtz files in the AutoSol wizard (one mtz file for each wavelength). I am getting the same errors in ccp4 as well. There must be something basic that I am doing wrong with regards to processing my data and merging the mtzs together. Thanks you for your help. Angela

installing phenix
by Kielkopf, Clara L. 10 Feb '06

10 Feb '06

I'm a linux novice installing Phenix on our linux boxes, running Fedora Core 3 in the bash shell. THe install script runs without error, and the new phenix-1.1a directory is created in /usr/local. However, I have to switch to csh before running the program. Even after setting the environmental variables correctly, the program wouldn't run in the bash shell. Is there a simple modification to run in bash? Thank you.

Problems in installation Phenix1.1a on Linux redhat F4
by Cheng Luo, Ph.D. 07 Jan '06

Dear Phenix users, I am a new user of phenix. When I install it in a new machine installed Linux F4, I meet a problem in gtk. I paste the information( the reported err is in red words). " generating PHENIX environment setup script creating /marmor9/pub/bin/phenix-1.1a/phenix_env generating libtbx environment additions creating $PHENIX_BUILD/dispatcher_include_phenix.sh setting environment configuring PHENIX components /marmor9/pub/bin/phenix-1.1a/build/intel-linux/python/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0: error while loading shared libraries: /marmor9/pub/bin/phenix-1.1a/build/intel-linux/python/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied generating gdk-pixbuf.loaders file" .....other is ok After installation, i source the env and run with phenix command, it told me these errors: File "/marmor9/pub/bin/phenix-1.1a/phenix/wxGUI/wxPhenix.py", line 11, in ? from wxPython.wx import * File "/marmor9/pub/bin/phenix-1.1a/build/intel-linux/python/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.5.3-gtk2-ansi/wxPython/__init__.py", line 10, in ? import _wx File "/marmor9/pub/bin/phenix-1.1a/build/intel-linux/python/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.5.3-gtk2-ansi/wxPython/_wx.py", line 3, in ? from _core import * File "/marmor9/pub/bin/phenix-1.1a/build/intel-linux/python/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.5.3-gtk2-ansi/wxPython/_core.py", line 15, in ? import wx._core File "/marmor9/pub/bin/phenix-1.1a/build/intel-linux/python/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.5.3-gtk2-ansi/wx/__init__.py", line 42, in ? from wx._core import * File "/marmor9/pub/bin/phenix-1.1a/build/intel-linux/python/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.5.3-gtk2-ansi/wx/_core.py", line 4, in ? import _core_ ImportError: /marmor9/pub/bin/phenix-1.1a/build/intel-linux/python/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied Then I share this disk and source and run in another machine install red-hat 9, it did work. So maybe some library configurations are different, but since I have no too much experience about it. Is it possible for your expert give me some suggestion? Thank you in advance for your any suggestions!
