Re: [phenixbb] refinement of an ensemble of structures -> cryoEM variability
by Oliver Clarke 13 Jan '22

Hi, Just to add my two cents, I agree this would be really useful for a lot of folks. Analysis of continuously distributed variability is very common these days in cryoEM, and having a way to jointly refine an ensemble of models against a series of maps would be very handy. Cryodrgn, 3D-VA in cryosparc, ManifoldEM, multibody refinement in relion - there are many tools now for generating a series of density maps potentially corresponding to conformational modes, so having the capacity in phenix to refine models against each map would be very helpful.

Re: [phenixbb] refinement of an ensemble of structures -> cryoEM variability

I guess it isn't all that different. If you run all jobs naively starting from a single model corresponding to the overall reconstruction, depending on the magnitude of the conformational changes the maps at either end of the series may be outside the radius of convergence of phenix.real_space_refine (with default parameters). Some way to initially perturb a single model to more-or-less match the series of maps would be useful (maybe morphing in real_space_refine will already work for this?). This could probably be scripted, but having it built into phenix would be useful I think.

refinement of an ensemble of structures -> cryoEM variability
by vincent Chaptal 12 Jan '22

12 Jan '22

Hi Phenix-ers, I thought to ask for something that I believe you have already implemented, but I'm not sure of the best tool to use. I have a cryoEM map where I refine my "high resolution" structure. I also have the 3D variability of this map that shows several maps varying around the consensus high-res map. I want to refine an ensemble (20) of structures, one for every 20 maps around the consensus map. Is there a tool in phenix to do this? I could refine individually the high-res structure into each map incrementally; since every map differs a little from the original one, Real-space-refinement could move the structure a little at a time. Then I could combine all the PDBs in an ensemble? A tool to refine variability would be very useful. Input could be a PDB and an ensemble of maps, and output would be all the PDBs combined? Thank you.

Excellent Opportunity for Postdoc in Ion-Channel Structural Biology
by Pramod Kumar 08 Jan '22

08 Jan '22

Dear Structural Biology Scholars, I would like to bring your attention to an excellent opportunity to unravel the structure-function details of ion-channels as a postdoc. The Grosman lab at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is actively looking to fill a recent opening of NIH-funded postdoctoral position. The laboratory has an excellent record in combining high-resolution electrophysiology, molecular simulations, and structural biology to address fundamental questions about ion-channel mechanisms. Previous experience with the purification of eukaryotic membrane proteins is a plus and structure determination using single-particle cryo-EM is highly preferred. Salary commensurate with the experience level. The University of Illinois Urbana Champaign is an excellent place for research and life with an easy commute, lower-cost housing, easy access to all needs, and a vibrant community with easily accessible cities like Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis. Interested individuals should contact Prof. Claudio Grosman ( grosman(a)illinois.edu) with a CV, a 1–2 page description of previous research, and names and contact information of 2–3 references. Students in their final year of Ph.D. training are also welcome to apply. Recent select publications from the Grosman lab are listed below. A complete list of publications from the Grosman lab can be found on Prof. Claudio Grosman’s NCBI bibliography page ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/claudio.grosman.1/bibliography/public <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/claudio.gros…> ). *Recent Select Publications * *· Kumar P, Cymes GD, Grosman C.

use mr_rosetta to prerefine structure
by Wei Wang 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

Dear all, I have a question regarding phenix.mr_rosetta. I manually build a model in Coot, and want to use phenix.mr_rosetta to prerefine the model. I followed the instruction on https://phenix-online.org/documentation/reference/mr_rosetta.html#rebuildin…. Basically, my scenario is like what’s written in NOTE 2: “have a model and just want to run pre-refinement and not anything else”. I noticed that if I put nproc=xx, then the job would eventually output no structures. I checked each subjob and found that they all failed. I suspect this behavior was caused by files overwritten by parallel jobs. When I don’t specify nproc, then there’s no problem. However, in this case, for number_of_prerefine_models=1000, it would take a very long time. I hope I described the behavior clearly. Is there a way of running the prerefine jobs in parallel? Thanks, Wei

Query re individual sites (real space)
by Oliver Clarke 21 Dec '21

21 Dec '21

Hi, While refining an X-ray structure using phenix.refine (v1.20-4444), I get the attached table during real-space refinement of coordinates. What are the criteria for selecting the correct weighting factor? I assumed it would be the delta between R/Rfree and/or the clash score, but it doesn't seem to exactly match either in this table (and the same for other iterations of refinement). Is it just incorrectly writing the clash score in the "Accepted refinement result" line? Shouldn't this match the line from the selected weight (here 0.125 so should be 6.1, not 7.1)? Cheers Oli
