Hi, I may be missing something obvious, but how do I determine which version of molprobity is being used for generating the clash scores reported by phenix.model_vs_data ? Pete

error estimates on coordinates
by Benoît Masquida 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hello, Can someone shed light on the way coordinates errors are obtained in REMARK 3 using maximum of likelihood as compared to Luzzati or sigmaa? What article can be cited in this respect? Thanks in advance.

phenix.pdbtools model_statics=true
by Maehigashi, Tatsuya 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hi all, What would be the best way to define the "selection" to show average B factors using phenix.pdbtools from command line? I've tried several ways using something like... phenix.pdbtools XXXXX.pdb stop_for_unknown=false model_statistics=true selections="chain QA or chain RA" However, the output always contain the standard/default "ADP statistics" table only (not for the selection I specified). Yes, I'm aware of the GUI option (under other tools) and it works great. However, I'm trying to compute average b for 9 coordinates under 4 separate categories (protein, RNA, ligands... and such), and I think it'll be a lot easier from the command line (using some quick script, for example). Any input will be appreciated!

Obtaining just the Wilson B with Xtriage
by Morten Grøftehauge 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hi guys, Is there a way to just have phenix.xtriage compute and output the Wilson B factor and not do everything else? I want to run it on a lot of files and that would simplify things. Cheers Morten -- Morten K Grøftehauge, PhD Pohl Group Durham University

xtriage reindexing suggestions
by Todd Jason Green 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hello all- I am trying to merge a few partial Se datasets. I am certain that I will have to reindex one or more to make sure that + and - reflections are not jumbled up. Can someone confirm that xtriage take this into account in suggesting to reindex one dataset in relation to a reference dataset? ie. does it use something like maximizing the anomalous signal in suggesting whether or not reindexing is necessary? I think the below suggests as much but I wanted confirmation: Automatic re-indexing For each data set supplied (other than the first data set given), all possible re-indexing matrices are derived as described by Grosse-Kunstleve et al. (2005). Each data set isautomatically re-indexed using the matrix that maximizes the correlation of amplitudes Have a good weekend. -Todd My Example: Reference analyses The following reindexing operators have been found: ------------------------------------------------- | Operator | Correlation | matches (%) | choice | ------------------------------------------------- | -k,h,l | 0.874 | 70.1 | <--- | | h,k,l | 0.032 | 76.7 | | ------------------------------------------------- If the data is reindexed with operator (-k,h,l), the correlation of the intensities to the reference data is maximized. sx205b_anom.sca This can be done for instance with: phenix.reflection_file_converter sx205b_anom.sca --change_of_basis="-k,h,l" <output_options>

Multiprocessor refine
by Kenneth A. Satyshur 23 Mar '14

23 Mar '14

The FAQ on the web says that phenix.refine uses multiprocessors, yet only phenix.autobuild seems to use MP. Do I need a special version of Phenix? I am using GUI 1.8.4-1496 >How can I use multiple processors to run a job? >Only AutoBuild(http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/autobuild_gui.htm), LigandFit(http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/ligandfit_gui.htm), phaser.MRage(http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/MRage.htm), phenix.refine(http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/refine_gui.htm), the structure comparison GUI(http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/structure_comparison.htm), and phenix.find_tls_groups support runtime >configuration of parallel processing. In most cases this is done by adding the "nproc" keyword, for instance: etc RHEL6 x86_64 thanks kas -- Kenneth A.

MRage run
by Jobichen Chacko 17 Mar '14

17 Mar '14

Dear All, I am running a molecular replacement using MRage program for almost 1 week with 4 threads, but yet to finish the run. I am using Phenix Version dev-1549 I am having a pretty big protein (around 100 KDa). I gave data file, sequence file, one model pdb and output from HHpred as input. Is there anyway to to find out when it is going to finish the run, or I can extract any information from the current run, if I manually end the run? Thank you. Jobi

phasing high(er) resolution anomalous difference maps with low resolution phases
by Todd Jason Green 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

Hello all- I am working on a huge protein assembly(monomer is ~3000 amino acids, large cell ~200, ~200, ~520) that has between 200 and 300 Se-met residues in the asymmetric unit(depending on the number of molecules I pick in the a.u.). I believe I have low resolution phasing from another heavy atom with limits to ~ 6.2 angstrom. Density modified FOMs dip below 0.6 at that point. I can see many tubes that have the diameter of model alpha helices. I ran phenix.find_helices_strands with the helices_before_trace=True option and got a series of helices encompassing about 3400 residues. Assuming that the phasing on the low resolution derivative is true, is it better to use phasing from the lower resolution derivative or phasing from the helical models to fish out the Se-Met sites via an anomalous difference Fourier? I assume I'm stuck at 6.2 for the derivative phasing though i guess i could extend phasing from the map a little further. How far is too far? How high of resolution can I phase from the helices (or from the derivative map for that matter) and still get accurate enough phasing to yield reliable difference peaks to find the Se sites. I have a couple Se-met datasets between 3 and 2.5 angstroms. What sigma levels should I expect for the difference peaks? also, what is the best way to pick the highest difference peaks in the anomalous difference fourier? I didn't see a tool in phenix. "find difference peaks and holes" seems like a logical choice but it seems to want to structure. I've just created maps and used the very old and reliable peakmax in ccp4. I have solved structures like this before but with a lot more info on ncs, envelopes, ncs averaging and a much much smaller protein. I remember getting sites and plugging them into resolve with scripts where you could fix them/or not and phase without looking for more sites, no build etc. Can i just enter sites and phase followed by density modification with one of the gui programs. any comments would be appreciated? and thanks in advance. -Todd
