erraser for DNA?
by Phoebe A. Rice 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

I know phenix has lovely DNA restraints, but I think the backbone of my lowish-resolution DNA structure could use more help. Is there anything like erraser for DNA that will make my DNA backbone as B-like as possible? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Phoebe A.

The discrepancy for determination of Ramachandran outliers by Coot and MolProbity
by Smith Lee 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Dear All, It often finds for the Ramachandran favored determined by Coot, MolProbity regards as Ramachandran outliers. There are earlier posts regards Coot and MolProbity has different database for the determination of the Ramachandran plots. Then will you please let me know the correct way to correct the Ramachandran outliers by Coot in order to meet the MolProbity Standards? I am looking forward to getting your reply. Smith

SA (torsion angle) along with B factor reset to low value.
by Tarek DawoD 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

to remove memory of the old original R-free flags (which is not available) and using a new test set, i reset the B factor and use SA (torsion angle) i got this error: not implemented: support of different sites. individual and sites.torsion_angles selection. what does that mean? thank you in advance TK_DawoD

on HIS ** both conformations clash in the flipping
by Smith Lee 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Dear All, In the log output of the Phenix refine, for the flipping of the N/Q/H residues before XYZ refinement, it often occurs something like "HIS ** both conformations clash, **PLEASE CHECK MANUALLY**". Will you please tell me what will clash with 1 of the 2 conformations of the specified HIS? I have checked the specified HIS in Coot, and I still do not know what does it mean for "both conformations clash". I am looking forward to getting a reply from you for clarification. Smith

Quick request for addition to the line at the end of all these mails
by Morten Grøftehauge 16 Feb '15

Dear administrators of this list, Could you please add a line at the very end of these mails with: To unsubscribe click: www.somelink.com As it is it seems that some people have trouble getting off the list after they sign up. Because my spam filter keeps sending phenixbb mails into the spam folder. Which is likely because someone out there keeps flagging them as spam. If there's a link like that then gmail will even offer to attempt to unsubscribe for you. Just a thought. Cheers, Morten

Please comment on the twinning analysis of my data by Xtriage
by Smith Liu 15 Feb '15

15 Feb '15

Dear All, I have done a Xtriage twinning analysis on my data. I summarize the result as following, Twinning analysis summary: The results of the L-test indicate that the intensity statistics below as expected. No twinning is suspected. Multivariate Z score L-test: 1.625. It further shows, Possible twin operators o merohedral twin operator(s) found, 1 pseudo-merohedral twin operator(s) found. Type Axis R metric(%) delta(le Pa) delta (lebed) Twin law PM 2-fold 4.934 2.547 0.036 l -k h Based on the above information, will you please advise me whether I need to input "l -k h" in the "Twin law" in "Other options" in "Refinement settings" in the Phenix refine graphical interface? I am looking forward to getting your reply. Smith

On the cycles of the Phenix refinement
by Smith Lee 15 Feb '15

15 Feb '15

Dear All, The default number of cycles for the Phenix refinement graphical interface is 3 (should be macro-cycles). I have done a refinement with 3 default cycles, and I get the acceptable refinement results. Then I kept everything same, except I changed the cycles of refinement from 3 to 5, however the refinement result was ugly which was unacceptable. Someone told me once I have corrected the outliers by Coot, I can have a Phenix refinement with macro-cycles as 1, in order to avoid the Ramachandran corrected ones changing backing to Ramachandran outliers (Will you please further comment whether this strategy to correct Ramachandran outliers is acceptable or not). Thus can we regard the macro-cycles of Phenix refinement as one parameter for the refinement? And why the macro-cycles of the refinement can affect the refinement result? I am looking forward to getting your reply. Smith

Question related to Phenix refinement
by Smith Lee 14 Feb '15

14 Feb '15

Dear All. In the Phenix refine "run status" window, with the progression of the refinement, it occurs 3' bss, 3' rsrl, 3' xyz, 3' adp (for 3rd round of refinement). I guess xyz means the strategy is for x, y, z coordinates? Then what do bss, rsrl and adp mean? I am looking forward to getting your reply. Smith
