Gordon Research Seminar this July
by Bradley Hintze 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

Attention Young scientist in crystallography and diffraction. Are you a young scientist interested in the methods in crystallography? Do you want to deepen your understanding of instrumentation, different diffraction methods, data processing, phasing, structure solution, etc.? The Gordon Research Seminar and Conference for Diffraction Methods happens July 16 - 22 (for both) at Bates College in Maine. It is a unique opportunity to interact with the researchers actively developing the exciting many methods related to crystallography and beyond. The conference is relatively small allowing close association with all in attendance allowing participants to discuss methods with those in the know. The Gordon Research Seminar is a two-day event before the Conference for those early in their career, e.g. students, postdocs, and beginning industry folks. This space allows young scientist to interact, ask questions, and discuss their science with peers. If you are interested in deepening your understanding of the methods behind crystallography, please consider applying to both the Gordon Research Seminar and Conference on Diffraction Methods. For all the details, please see: <goog_1374816820> https://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?id=16486 Apply soon! Any questions? Simply reply to this email. Thanks GRC chairs, Rike Müller-Werkmeister and Bradley Hintze

phenix.polder - tool for calculating omit maps by excluding bulk solvent
by Dorothee Liebschner 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

Dear phenix users, Starting from the nightly build dev-2356, a new tool for calculating ligand omit-maps, called 'polder', is included in phenix. Usage: phenix.polder model.pdb data.mtz selection='chain A and resseq 123’ Phenix.polder calculates omit maps for atom selections by preventing the bulk solvent mask to flood into the atom selection area and its vicinity. The tool can be useful in cases where the density of the selected atoms is weak and possibly obscured by bulk solvent. Polder produces less biased maps compared to procedures where the atom selection occupancy is set to zero, and the atoms are included in the solvent mask calculation (in that case, the resulting difference density can have similar shape than the selected atoms). Phenix.polder excludes a larger volume from the bulk solvent and therefore prevents misinterpreting bulk solvent density as omit density. If you want to know more about how the tool is working and to see some examples, have a look at the presentation file: https://www.phenix-online.org/presentations/phenix_polder.pdf. The documentation page can be found here: www.phenix-online.org/version_docs/dev-2356/reference/polder.html Best wishes, Dorothee

fit_loops using loop_lib
by Greg Bowman 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

Hi all - I’m having a problem getting phenix.fit_loops to run using the loop library (loop_lib=True). The phenix.fit_loops seems to work fine without this keyword (I get a good solution for a test case), but I have 3A density and wanted to restrict solutions to the loop library for the poorer density regions. I am running this from the command line, with this input: phenix.fit_loops pdb_in=refine_35-delloop1170to1172.pdb mtz_in=refine_35.mtz \ seq_file=KRJmonomer.seq start=1170 end=1172 chain_id=B \ loop_lib=True >> fit_loops-1170to1172-looplibrary.log I am using OSX ElCapitan (10.11.3) and get this error: File "/Applications/phenix-1.10.1-2155/build/../modules/phenix/phenix/command_line/fit_loops.py", line 962, in <module> fit_loops=fit_loops(args=sys.argv[1:]) File "/Applications/phenix-1.10.1-2155/build/../modules/phenix/phenix/command_line/fit_loops.py", line 598, in __init__ target_time=target_time, File "/Applications/phenix-1.10.1-2155/build/../modules/phenix/phenix/command_line/fit_loops.py", line 760, in run_fit target_time=target_time, File "/Applications/phenix-1.10.1-2155/modules/phenix/phenix/autosol/UserMethods.py", line 3671, in Build_fit_gaps starting_residue_number=starting_residue_number) File "/Applications/phenix-1.10.1-2155/modules/phenix/phenix/loop_lib/clustering.py", line 2063, in apply_clusters d=get_density_map(map_coeffs_array=map_coeffs_array) File "/Applications/phenix-1.10.1-2155/modules/phenix/phenix/utilities/get_density_map.py", line 54, in __init__ assert not map_coeffs_array.anomalous_flag() AssertionError The last lines of the log file are: Fitting loop with loop-library... loop_lib length (including 3 on each end): 9 DATABASE: /Applications/phenix-1.10.1-2155/modules/chem_data/loop_library/loops_9_2.5/loop_lib CLUSTER_FILE: split_clusters.pkl.gz Thanks, Greg

clash_guard failure
by Bock, Tobias 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

Dear colleagues, I am trying to refine a protein-DNA complex. In this structure, 2 DNA double strands are present with 50% occupancy (or similar occupancy’s) and overlap at certain positions. Phenix.refine crashed due to a nonbonded interaction distance issue. To fix that, I tried to exclude the DNA strands using: pdb_interpretation { custom_nonbonded_symmetry_exclusions="chain E" custom_nonbonded_symmetry_exclusions="chain F" } Nevertheless, phenix.refine crashed with the same error message. Changing the “nonbonded_distance_threshold” works, but results in terrible statistics (since this applies for the complete structure, I guess). Is there a way to exclude only the DNA strands (in regard to the clash guard) or a similar approach to refine the structure?

Merging Already-Scaled MTZs
by Keller, Jacob 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

Dear Crystallographers, I guess it is bad practice to merge/scale already-merged/scaled mtz's, but I have a special reason for wanting to do so. Does anyone know how this can be done in Phenix? The reason is, if you're interested, that I want to detwin several different datasets to varying degrees, then merge them.
