Feature request: multi-stage refinement protocols from the GUI?
by Tristan Croll 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

Hi all, I'm personally a big fan of the Phenix GUI, in particular for its automated record keeping for different runs. One thing I really wish it had, though, is the option to define more complex refinement scenarios as a single run. An example of what I'm talking about is the following protocol that has been working very well for me on a 3.6 Å strucutre: - ~6 rounds of refinement of TLS, a single group B-factor and occupancies (the latter for a very small set of residues, mostly low-occupancy lead ions) with positions fixed - ~8 rounds of TLS and individual B-factor refinement, still with positions fixed and with no further occupancy refinement - ~8 rounds of TLS, B-factor and position refinement with torsion-angle restraints to the starting model - ~8 rounds of position refinement with no restraints other than standard stereochemistry and metal bonds. I know that all of this could be scripted quite easily from the command line, but it would be fantastic to be able to queue up such a protocol as a single continuous job in the GUI. Best regards, Tristan

Hello, now I found a solution like below; 1) make links using " Extensions > Modeling > Make Link " in Coot 2) Do Ready_Set using the PDB file, and you'll get cif and link.edits files 3) Delete all the lines which contain OXT in the cif file. 4) Involve the cif and link.edits files to the Phenix.refine job It will work well for the CR2 containing GFP proteins.

Wrong stereochemical restraint of Hyp
by YANG HAI 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Dear Phenix Developers, I was refining a structure containing L-hydroproline (HYP) and it looks like that the dictionary for HYP in Phenix has the wrong stereochemical restraint. I modeled as L-hydroxylproline (trans) but the phenix.refine always flipped the hydroxyl group and ended up as L-allo-hydroxylproline (cis). I created a .cif file and the issue is resolved, but it would be nice if the restraint can be fixed in the next version of Phenix. Thanks a lot Yang Hai Department of Chemistry, University of Pennsylvnia

Constrained groups for occupancy refinment
by Jan Abendroth 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hi all, I have a case where a residue is in two alternative conformations for chain A and chain B. This residue (Arg 62) happens to be close to its NCS mate, such that only conformations A for both chains or only conformations B can take place at the same time. I tried to follow guidance from the CNG newsletter 2015/07 and set up the constrained groups as shown below. However, the refinement crashes with an AtomSelectionError. Any ideas what I could have done differently? Cheers, Jan refinement { refine { occupancies { constrained_group { selection = chain A and resseq 62 and altloc A or \ chain B and resseq 62 and altloc A or selection = chain A and resseq 62 and altloc B or \ chain B and resseq 62 and altloc B or } } } } -- Jan Abendroth Emerald Biostructures Seattle / Bainbridge Island, WA, USA home: Jan.Abendroth_at_gmail.com work: JAbendroth_at_embios.com http://www.emeraldbiostructures.com

Phenix omit maps
by wtempel 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Hello all, is the output of phenix.maps with maps.omit.selection=(resname LIG) equivalent to removal of LIG atoms from coordinates and subsequent map calculation with an empty maps.omit.selection? What, if any, measures of bias removal are applied in the process of map calculation, absent any explicit efforts by the user to modify coordinates? Thank you, Wolfram Tempel

Remove distant restraint between two atoms
by Blankenfeldt, Wulf 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Dear all, I would like to unrestrain the distance between two atoms in a ligand – how can I do this? I found instructions for writing a remove_restraints_selections.params file in the phenix.refine manual, but it does not seem to address bond distances.

Rwork Rfree gap by bust and phenix
by Zheng Zhou 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

Dear phenix experts, I have sent the question to the buster discussion board one week ago. I think I'd better consult this problem on the active phenix discussion board. I recently solved a P1 crystal structure, 6 fold NCS at 1.6 angstrom resolution. I used lattice symmetry to generate test set in phenix. The phenix.refine gave me Rwork/Rfree = 0.1828/0.2081. There are pieces of positive and negative density for the compounds. So I tried buster refinement with autoncs, TLS. The density for the compounds are much improved, no obvious positive density. However, It generated Rwork/Rfree = 0.1801/0.1912. I also find similar R factor examples at the similar resolution in the buster wiki: https://www.globalphasing.com/buster/wiki/index.cgi?AutoBusterExample4chawa… Would the small gap between Rwrok and Rfree be an issue? I have not deposited buster refined PDB yet, would this acceptable? Any reference to help if any reviewer questions about the small gap? Thanks for your advice in advance. Best, Zheng
