MRage against local "select" PDB database on commandline
by Kaushik Hatti 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Hi, I am new to Phenix. Sorry if my question is naive. For a given mtz file, I want to pick templates from a local PDB database (its actually iTasser template library) and perform Molecular Replacement using MRage. I have already installed Blast, downloaded iTasser PDB library (http://zhanglab.ccmb.med.umich.edu/library/PDB.tar.bz2) and extracted sequences from both the downloaded PDB template library set and target protein for which mtz is available. How should I go about building pipeline to perform MR using templates from locally downloaded select PDB database? Are there any more parameters available for parameter name: services under scop: search other than "local" and "ncbi"? Thanks in advance, Kaushik -- People living deeply have no fear of death - Anais Nin Caution: I am still the dumbest person I have ever known :-)

Re: [phenixbb] Rwork > Rfree
by Ed Pozharski 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

Generate a different test set and repeat refinement. Do it twenty times. If R turns out to be systematically higher than Rfree even in few resolution shells, you have an interesting case worth looking at. If not, it's just noise.

GeoStd: was definition of glycosylation in phenix.refine
by Schubert, Carsten [JRDUS] 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Hi Nigel, could you please comment on any plans to harmonize the use of these restraints for other refinement programs as well. Phenix originally appears to have implemented the restraint dictionaries from CCP4. Right now there seems to be some kind of parallel development going on with the dictionaries being in sync to some degree. Is there a plan to move to a unified restraints distribution at some point? Thanks Carsten From: phenixbb-bounces(a)phenix-online.org [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nigel Moriarty Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2014 12:38 PM Cc: PHENIX user mailing list Subject: Re: [phenixbb] definition of glycosylation in phenix.refine @Laurent Engin advice is sound but you are having trouble free feel to send me the inputs directly. NB. Any files sent to me will be held in strictest confidence. @Engin I think you will find what you are looking for in the GeoStd. As restraints are improved, they are moved from $PHENIX/chem_data/mon_lib to $PHENIX/chem_data/geostd (which is hosted on SourceForge for anybody's use). The directory structure is the same as the Monomer Library with a geostd_list.cif file corresponding to mon_lib_list.cif which specifies the links. Cheers Nigel --- Nigel W.

That's what it is complaining about. I always thought Phenix probably removed these atoms (the hydroxyl and the hydrogen) automatically when you defined the link, but never tested if it really does it. I also usually remove all hydrogens right away when sugar residues are inserted. Finally, I will recommend that you use automatic linking in the phenix.refine GUI. It works great (I am on the latest nightly, dev-1839; you may need to upgrade). No need to define pesky links anymore. Thank you developers! At the risk of hijacking the thread, I could not find in my installation the cif files for N-linked sugars. Have they been moved elsewhere?

mrage with nucleic acids?
by Paul Paukstelis 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

I'm trying to run mrage with nucleic acid models. With phaser, it is possible to specify the molecule type, but this option doesn't exist in mrage (from what I can see). Providing a sequence file automatically assumes protein one letter codes. Any suggestion on how to clearly define a sequence file as a nucleic acid? Thanks, --paul

Filtering CCP4 maps to lower resolution
by Barad, Ben 16 Nov '14

16 Nov '14

Hi All, I am currently trying to filter a CCP4-formatted real space map from the EMDB, which is at 3.2 Å resolution, to different resolutions from 3.2 to 5 Å, and I've been having a bit of a difficult time getting it to work. My first thought was to do an fft to get structure factors, then regenerate the map from those structure factors with a resolution cutoff. To do this, I used the tools "phenix.map_to_structure_factors" and "phenix.mtz2map" to generate a structure factor file, then convert it back into a map. When I do this, I end up with a very noisy map that is not usable for what I would like to do. Is there a better way to accomplish this in phenix (or another tool)? I've also tried some low-pass filtering with proc3d, without much success... Thanks, Ben Barad Fraser Lab @ UCSF

Re: [phenixbb] simulated annealing omit map
by Pavel Afonine 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Hello Bishal, as discussed before, computing ligand-omit map is tricky. Quoting my previous email: """ There are two commonly used options for omitting the ligand in order to demonstrate its presence/absence in Fo-Fc OMIT map: 1) Physically remove the ligand from PDB file. Then do some refinement and calculate Fo-Fc map. 2) Keep ligand in the file, set its occupancy to zero. Then, again, do some refinement and calculate Fo-Fc map. In this case you may want to ask refinement program to not move the ligand or move it only a little. Now, here is why these two options are poor and will not give you what you want. In the first case the bulk-solvent mask will be set in the ligand region and therefore it will mask ligand density (bulk-solvent will be filled into the ligand region). Depending on the strength of ligand density it may be masked completely or deteriorated. If you follow the second option you will always get positive density in ligand area. This density may correspond to bulk-solvent, ligand or mixture of both. That is there will be no simple way to differentiate whether this density arises from the ligand or bulk-solvent. """ Dale Tronrud offered a great alternative option: """ An alternative you might want to consider is what I call the "discovery map". At some point in the refinement process there was a map that convinced YOU that this ligand was present. You should be the hardest person to be convinced so that map will be both an omit map (because the model had been refined without the ligand prior to this) and clear enough to satisfy the reader. """ Now, recently I improved composite OMIT map calculation in phenix.composite_omit_map tool, see picture that illustrates how it works: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dbp8e0348v5p78h/fig_6.png?dl=0 I think at present that's the best option to follow if for some reason you cannot follow Dale's suggestion.

CB outliers
by George Devaniranjan 13 Nov '14

13 Nov '14

Hi, I refined a structure using phenix.refine. The R/R free decreased slightly from 13.46/15.87 to 13.0/15.6. But, molprobity said there were 3 CB outliers (starting from 0). I looked at those residues in COOT. I could NOT really see a different between the refined and initial model. In addition I looked at COOT validate-->density fit analysis I cannot see ANY difference in the peak heights (same numerical value too). I looked at RSCC (using phenix validate tools as well). I still can't see a difference in the plots. I am not sure how to get rid of the 3 CB outliers that have crept in since I can't pick them out as worse off in the refined model. I ask since in another case > 3 CB outliers, with the same results in picking them out in COOT/RSCC. I am wondering if there is another way I can see the deviation and fix it? Thank you, George
