labelit and latest mosflm
by "Weiergräber, Oliver H." 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Hello, the labelit.index executable provided with phenix 1.8.1 has a problem with the latest mosflm (7.0.9, as included in ccp4 6.3.0): "MosflmVersionError: mosflm versions after 7.0.8 not supported" Is there any reason to believe that mosflm 7.0.9 has really become incompatible with labelit? If not, can the version check be overridden as a temporary fix? Best, Oliver ================================================ PD Dr. Oliver H.

changes from 1.8.1-1161 to official 1.8.1?
by Eric Williams 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Where any major bugs fixed between the 1161 nightly build and the official 1.8.1 release? I have a large batch job running that uses 1161. If the squashed bugs are big enough, it might be worth stopping the job to install the new release. Otherwise, I'll just let it run to completion. Thanks. :) Eric

Phenix version 1.8.1 released
by Paul Adams 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

The Phenix developers are pleased to announce that version 1.8.1 of Phenix is now available. Binary installers for Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows platforms are available at the download site: http://phenix-online.org/download/ Some of the new features in this version are: Graphical interface: ==================== - New GUIs: phenix.find_alt_orig_sym_mate General: ======== - Multiple bug fixes - New commands: phenix.erraser, phenix.merging_statistics - Added geometry restraints for over 400 non-standard amino acid entries Refinement: =========== - Overall B-cart now applied to individual atomic B-factors (restores pre-1.8 behavior) - Improvements to torsion NCS rotamer correction - Real-space refinement (including rotamer fitting) for twinned data New command: ============ - phenix.erraser: - New method from Fang-Chieh Chou and Rhiju Das (Stanford) combining Rosetta nucleic acid rebuilding with phenix.refine (requires separate installation of Rosetta 3.4 or more recent) Molecular Replacement: ====================== - Phaser updated to version 2.5.2: - Scattering from HETATM records that represent modified amino acids (e.g. MSE/SeMet) included so that maps no longer show holes for these HETATM records in the model; occupancies will not be reset. - Packing test was incorrectly applied to reoriented molecules where there was PTNCS Experimental Phasing and Model Building: ======================================== - AutoSol: - Scale of derivative in SIR (for RIP phasing) can be set with keyword "derscale" - AutoBuild: - Unassigned chains are now given the segid of "UNK" and are normally given chain ID="U" Ligands: ======== - eLBOW: - New option, --multiple-planes, to generate planes around double bonds - Saturated rings now have dihedral restraints to maintain chair conformation - REEL: - View relationships between ligands using PubChem fingerprint and tanimoto score. Miscellaneous: ============== - phenix.real_space_correlation: - Simplified command-line behavior - phenix.merging_statistics (new command): - Calculate statistics for unmerged data in a variety of formats, including <I/sigmaI>, R-merge, R-meas, R-pim, CC1/2 - References: Diederichs K & Karplus PA (1997) Nature Structural Biology 4:269-275 Weiss MS (2001) J Appl Cryst 34:130-135. - phenix.kinemage: - Improvements to handling of alternate conformations. - phenix.combine_models: - Combine two models, taking the best parts of each to create a new model For a full list of changes see: http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/CHANGES Please note that this publication should be used to cite use of Phenix: PHENIX: a comprehensive Python-based system for macromolecular structure solution.

point-n-click installer is bjorking OS X Dock
by Scott Classen 26 Sep '12

26 Sep '12

Hello, After running the OS X point-n-click installer for the 1.8.1-1160 nightly build, the dock becomes unresponsive and I can no longer command+tab to switch between applications. I've reproduced this on 2 Macs. One running 10.8.2 and the other running 10.7.5 Relaunching Finder does not fix the proton dock/app switching Logging out and then logging back in fixes the problem.

den refinement with multiple reference files
by Andreas Förster 26 Sep '12

26 Sep '12

Dear all, I've started DEN refinement on a structure obtained by MR from data optimistically going to 3.8A. There are several chains of two kinds in the structure. High-resolution structures exist for both. How do I use two reference files for DEN refinement, and how do I assign which chain corresponds to which reference? (Currently, I'm using reference_file = None.) Thanks.

Phenix cut out density labels choice
by Mikalai Lapkouski 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hello, I have a following issue with running Phenix.cutout density either on command line or in GUI. I have multiple columns in the mtz.file and I want to choose map coefficients FOFCWT_d1-8,PHFOFCWT_d1-8 for the difference map to be cut around pdb selection. I run a command: phenix.cut_out_density model.pdb my.mtz cutout_fix_position=True cutout_model_radius=10 cutout_type=model \ map_coeff_labels=FOFCWT_d1-8,PHFOFCWT_d1-8 Problem: The output cutout.mtz has FWT and PHWT (which I did not have at all in the input) and not my difference map coefficients, and obviously the map is not my difference map. In GUI is the same problem, I choose columns I need but it outputs FWT and PHWT again. Please, let me know what I am doing wrong. Thank you very much! Mikalai

Combine map labels
by Mikalai Lapkouski 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hello, I have a following question. I have generated several Fo-Fc sa omit maps (FOFCWT, PHFOFCWT) for different portions of a DNA molecule. Now that I have each omit map as a separate file to display the whole DNA omit map I have to load them in coot one by one. Is there a way of how to combine all this maps into one file and have a single name for label columns so that the whole map will open at once? I managed to put them all in one file but column labels are separate: FOFCWT_1, PHFOFCWT_1 FOFCWT_2, PHFOFCWT_2...... Can they all go under FOFCWT, PHFOFCWT? Thank you very much for any suggestion Mikalai
