fix part of structure during refinement
by Jorge Iulek 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Dear all, I want to test a refinement in which I fix part of my structure (say, residues 1 to 244 in chains C and D, and chains A and B completely) while the rest is to be refined with annealing. From the manual and http://www.phenix-online.org/pipermail/phenixbb/2009-June/013358.html, I have in my parameter file: " ... refine { strategy = *individual_sites individual_sites_real_space rigid_body \ individual_adp group_adp tls *occupancies group_anomalous sites { individual = ( chain C and resseq 245:259 ) or ( chain D and resseq 245:259 ) torsion_angles = None rigid_body = None } ... " I thought atoms out of the selection in the output structure (chains A and B + residues 1 to 244 in chains C and D) would keep the same coordinates as they were input. But I see all structure atoms changed coordinates. I also tried to turn off tls and ncs usage, but the picture is the same. What do I miss here, to be able to fix some atoms during refinement? Thanks, Jorge

determining molprobity version?

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

Second announcement Fifth Workshop on Neutron Scattering Applications in Structural Biology Oak Ridge, TN. June 16 - June 20, 2014 Application deadline: April 18, 2014 The workshop on Neutron Scattering Applications in Structural Biology aims at enabling structural biologists to fully exploit the latest instrumentation and software development at the SNS and HFIR facilities at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Attendees will participate in lectures and tutorials focusing exclusively on neutron techniques applied in structural biology. The workshop is designed for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty new to or with limited experience of neutron scattering. Travel and accommodation expenses are supported for selected participants from the United States. International applications are welcome. However the course organization may not be able to offer travel or accommodation support. The number of participants will be limited to 15. There is no registration fees for all selected participants. The application package consisting of 1) Information form, 2) CV, 3) Applicant motivation letter (1/2 to 1 page), 4) Principal Investigator letter of support (for graduate students only; 1/2 to 1 page), should be sent electronically to meilleurf(a)ornl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> before April 18, 2014. Detailed information can be found on the course web page: http://neutrons.ornl.gov/conf/gcnb2014/ Flora Meilleur, Ph.

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.
