It will be organized in three Sections – lectures, tutorials and hands-on trouble-shooting. There will be model data sets available for tutorials but data, provided by participants, will have higher priority for the hands-on sessions. Applicants: Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and young scientists at the assistant professor level are encouraged to apply. Only 20 applicants will be selected for participation. Participants of the workshop are strongly encouraged to bring their own problem data sets or crystals so the problems can be addressed during data collection workshop and/or hands-on sessions. Application: Application deadline is April 17. The application form, the program, contact info and other details can be found at http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/schools/APS-2012/ Fees: There is no fee for the workshop. The students will be responsible for their transportation and lodging. The workshop organizers will arrange economical lodging at the Argonne Guest House.

xtriage output
by wtempel 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Hello, this question is about the summary of xtriage output. I submitted merged scalepack intensity in space group P3. From scaling, the apparent point group is P622. H-tests for all three applicable twin laws indicate twin ratios around 45%. Does this merely indicate underestimated symmetry? STDOUT ends with this nugget: <stdout> The results of the L-test indicate that the intensity statistics Show more centric character than is expected for acentric data. </stdout> My questions: 1. What if anything should I infer about twinning from this last sentence? 2. What other data defects could this sentence indicate? Many thanks, Wolfram Tempel

DEN refinement under phenix
by Melania Strycharska 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Hi All, I was wondering whether anybody has successfully run the DEN refinement under phenix yet. I am having some problems with my scripts stalling without any error messages. What sort of reference models do people use? The following issues I am not quite clear on: - if I don't have a reference model should I call on my current pdb where the script calls for a reference model? - is it ok to use a single domain as a reference model or is it not enough to get the whole protein refined? - is it possible to use more than one reference model; in a case where I had structures of each domain solved separately? - can a reference model be a different protein or does it have to have the same sequence? Thanks a lot!

Rfree refuse to come down
by #HEW KAI LI KELLY# 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

HI, I have a few questions about a dataset that I am working on currently. So I ran Xtraige and it tells me that other than pseudoNCS, there is no other problems like twinning etc. And then I used autoMR and Phaser from Phenix to run molecular replacement with a the structure of the same protein (but that is with DNA bound). The TFZ is more than 9 after from both the runs. Autobuild managed to build the 4 molecules in my ASU (Rfactor/Rfree = 28/32 for a resolution of 2.4A). But because there are some clashes and outliers in the Ramachandran Plot etc, I started to manually refine them in coot. In addition, there is a loop that is unable to fit into the density, so I chopped about 10 residues off each molecule in the ASU. However, as I started to refine the model from AutoBuild, my Rfree begins to climb. So currently, I am at Rfactor/Rfree=27/36. I don't know if there is anything wrong with I had done. So many thanks in advance for your advices on this!!

Fwd: Hi Res Model. Maybe its time to Include Hydrogens?
by Yuri 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Sue: I am not sure they are being included... I have the option checked, but the R values and difference maps tell me otherwise Pavel: A bug? That would be consistent with the behavior I observe. Even when I enable refinement with hydrogens individual or riding, i see essentially no difference in maps or Rfree values. -- Yuri Pompeu

Hi Res Model. Maybe its time to Include Hydrogens?
by Yuri 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Dear users, I am refining a 400 aa protein with data out to 1.16 A (real data). I am almost finished with refinement. I have good geometry, complete model and ligands Rw 0.11 Rf 0.13. Difference maps seem to be asking for more. See attached screen shot.Both maps 2Fo-Fc (non-filled) and Fo-Fc are contoured at 3 sigma. How should I handle this? I have used hydrogens all along (riding). Thanks for your time -- Yuri Pompeu

phenix.reciprocal_space_arrays question
by Michael Thompson 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Hi All, I have a very simple question about phenix.reciprocal_space_arrays. I apologize if this is obvious, but I could not find any info in the documentation or the bb archives. I just want to make sure that I am actually doing what I think I am doing. If I provide phenix.reciprocal_space_arrays with an .mtz file containing Fobs and a .pdb file for which I would like to calculate Fmodel and PHImodel, will the resulting Fmodel (and Fcalc, Fmask, Fbulk, etc.) be scaled to the Fobs from the input .mtz? Thanks for the help! Mike T. -- Michael C.

BCA/CCP4 Summer School 2012
by Airlie McCoy 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Applications are now open for the BCA/CCP4 Summer School in Protein Crystallography to be held at Diamond (UK) from Tuesday 28th August to Sunday 2nd September 2012. Applications close 1st May 2012. The BCA/CCP4 Protein Crystallography Summer School is intended for students and researchers new to crystallography. Its dual aims are to provide comprehensive training in crystallography and to promote best practise within the British crystallographic community. The lectures cover the gamut of techniques required for a structure solution, from protein expression through to structure validation. Intensively supervised computer tutorials enable students to relate the theory presented in the lectures to practice. Although CCP4 programs will primarily be used in these tutorials, the aim will be to approach crystallographic questions in a software-agnostic manner. There will also be a crystal manipulation and cooling workshop. (Note that the course is scheduled during Diamond synchrotron downtime, so there will not be active data collection at the Diamond beamlines.) For more information on eligibility, cost, and applications see: http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Home/Events/BCA-Summer-School-2012.html Application form: http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Home/Events/BCA-Summer-School-2012/Application-Pag…

NCS-averaged and superposed maps
by Mullins, Elwood 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Is it possible to both NCS-average and superpose maps? I can do one or the other easily enough from the command line (phenix.ncs_average) and the GUI (Superpose maps). Unfortunately, both programs require the input to be an mtz file but output ccp4-style maps. I don't see a way to do this sequentially. Is there some other method that would allow me to perform both operations? Thanks, Elwood =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Elwood A.
