Hi, I'm cross-posting this to the Phenix-BB, because you did this calculation in Phenix, but since the site completion for SAD phasing would be done with Phaser, the answer is relevant to both packages. Basically, I think Jim Pflugrath's suggestion is correct. Comparing your Xe coordinates to S and Cl coordinates from one of our test SAD phasing datasets, the majority of your extra sites are in the positions of either intrinsic S anomalous scatterers or bound halides. The Phaser completion step found them, even though you only asked for 2 sites initially, because it continues adding new sites as long as there are significant peaks in the SAD LLG maps. The refined occupancies make sense, assuming you were collecting your data around 1A wavelength. At that wavelength f" is about 4-5e for Xe and about 0.25-0.3 for S or Cl, and multiplying (say) 4.5e by occupancies of 0.03-0.08 gives effective f" values of 0.14-0.36e. Of course, Phaser isn't just trying to fit the imaginary part of the scattering, so the occupancies could end up slightly higher because it's trying to account for atoms with 16-17 electrons using partially-occupied atoms with 54 electrons. Knowing that, once Phaser has found the Xe atoms, it will then find the weak anomalous scattering from S and Cl, you could tell Phaser to look in addition for S atoms. (At around 1A wavelength, there's not enough difference between S and Cl, in either their real or anomalous scattering, to matter, so you don't need to look for Cl in addition.) Phaser will reassign atom types based on refined occupancy, so it would likely get most of these right, which would very slightly improve your phasing model (because you would then have the right ratio of real to imaginary scattering). Another advantage to looking for both atom types is that, when you mix atoms with different ratios of real and imaginary scattering, Friedel's law is broken even for the substructure structure factors, which has two consequences. First, the likelihood score will probably be significantly better for the correct enantiomorph than the incorrect one; second, you're likely to end up with a slightly more complete substructure when working with the correct enantiomorph. Note that AutoSol also chose the correct enantiomorph after phasing, by looking at map quality indicators for the two hands.

Re: [phenixbb] Lysozyme/Xenon derivatives & Phenix.

Hi Brennan, The number of sites that you ask for affects the HYSS heavy-atom search procedure, but not too much else. Once some sites are found by HYSS, then autosol uses phaser to identify additional sites (that's why you got 22 sites, not 2). I am a little surprised that changing the number of sites from 2 to 4 makes the difference between finding correct sites and not finding them at all, but it does seem possible. For your experiment, one thing you could do: once you figure out where the "standard" Xe sites are, just feed them in to autosol with a sites_file=xxx.pdb for all your datasets. Then they are all starting out with pretty much the same information.

There are still seats available for RapiData 2012, a course on Data Collection and Structure Solving at the NSLS.
by Robert Sweet 30 Jan '12

30 Jan '12

We are extending the deadline because seats are still available for RapiData 2012, the fourteenth offering of our popular course: Rapid Data Collection and Structure Solving at the NSLS: A Practical Course in Macromolecular X-Ray Diffraction Measurement The course will be held 22-27 April 2012: http://www.bnl.gov/rapidata/. Students could be at any level from advanced undergraduate to full professor. The course should accommodate 48 students total. We encourage all students to bring their own specimens for data collection, and to bring old data for the data-reduction and structure-solving tutorials. Please read the Course Announcement at http://www.bnl.gov/RapiData/. You'll see that many experts in the field will be available for lectures and tutorials. You'll find the application materials on the Course Application tab at this site. For the tenth time we will hold a short lecture course on the fundamentals of crystallography for roughly five hours on Sunday 22 April. The body of the RapiData course really requires that students have a healthy knowledge of crystallography. For potential students who have some experience but are shaky about fundamentals, this course will help. There will be a small additional fee for the fundamentals course, to pay for Saturday night accomodations and food on Sunday morning and noon. Latin American Scientists: Several scholarships are available, from the International Union of Crystallography, to pay partial travel and subsistence costs for Latin-American students and junior faculty (under 40 yrs). Please apply for the course, and then contact R. Sweet (sweet(a)bnl.gov) if you are interested in applying for a scholarship.

Rosetta-MR - How long does it take?
by Tri Ngo 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

Hi Phenix users, I tried to utilize the Rosetta-MR to solve an Esterase structure (389 residues, 2 molecules/asu) which has 22% sequence identity to the know structure. I used HHPred to prepare the alignment input and Robetta fragment server to generate the fragment files. I also performed a quick test of mr-rosetta by running the command phenix_regression.wizards.test_command_line_rosetta_quick_tests. I think there is no error on my input files or the system. However, the program never finished. It still shows me the "Placing Model..." status. It's running around 48 hours and still show the same log file (at "Running group of place_model" step). I am not sure if it's normal to wait days or weeks to get the work done when running Rosetta-MR? Thank you for your helpful input.

Problems with opening Coot and Firefox from gui under RHEL 6.2

Hi, I've installed Phenix 1.7.3-928 on a linux workstation by downloading the binary phenix-installer-1.7.3-928-intel-linux-2.6-x86_64-fc3.tar I'm running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.2. (Mainly 64 bit libraries but some additional 32 bit libraries that are necessary to run Alwyn Jones' 32 bit version of O.) *Help and Firefox* When I click on the Help icon in the Phenix GUI I get the message: [pbrick@pb1 ~/test]$ phenix phenix_gui.htm Using browser /usr/bin/firefox phenix_gui.htm Using browser /usr/bin/firefox /usr/lib64/firefox-3.6/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libgnome-2.so.0: undefined symbol: g_dgettext But if firefox is already running it opens a new tab and I receive no error message. Firefox is the version shipped with RHEL 6.2: firefox 3.6.24 (I notice that the mozilla website is offering version 9.0.1 for i686 processors.) *Starting Coot* When I click on the Coot icon in the Phenix gui no window opens but I can see the processes: coot, coot_build_phenix_coot.csh and coot-real running. In fact coot-real consumes 100% of the cpu of one of the cores. What I find really weird is if I look at the processes with the system monitor gui and right click and 'kill' coot-real then instead of killing the process the coot window opens. At the same time coot_build_phenix_coot.csh disappears and the cpu usage drops to zero. (Note: I've also tried the fc12 version. I found that the version of pymol distributed with phenix uses 32 bit libraries and I needed to install libXmu.so.6) Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? Peter

Bond to symmetry mate
by Eike Schulz 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

Dear phenixbb, I am sure this is a trivial problem encountered before and that there is a solution to it however, I was unfortunately not able to solve it myself or with the help of the online documentation. The problem: In one of my structures a nucleic acid chain extends over several symmetry mates. How can I create and refine a bond (in my case 5'-phosphate to 3'-end ) to that symmetry mate? Many thanks in advance Eike

Twin_law in GUI Phenix Refinement
by Tri Ngo 25 Jan '12

Hi phenix users, I have two questions when using Phenix Refinement. 1. I'd like to run phenix refinement with twin data but I don't know how to define twin_law using GUI Phenix refinement module in Linux. 2. I used phenix refinement in Windows to refine a 2.3A structure. My problem is the Rfree is quite high. - I applied twin refinement + TLS + NCS and SA refinement (wxu_scale = 1) Start: r_work = 0.2149 r_free = 0.2833 bonds = 0.016 angles = 1.988 Final: r_work = 0.2029 r_free = 0.2735 bonds = 0.008 angles = 1.448 - Then I use auto-weight to optimize the Rfree. optimize_xyz_weight = True optimize_adp_weight = True wxc_scale = 0.5 wxu_scale = 1 Start: r_work = 0.2152 r_free = 0.2735 bonds = 0.008 angles = 1.322 Final: r_work = 0.2309 r_free = 0.2781 bonds = 0.003 angles = 0.848 I think the bond rmsd and angle rmsd were too small in this final refinement. Do you think it's normal or I need to try more? Thank you very much for your helpful input.
