modelling of disordered protein
by intekhab alam 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Hi I solved an RNA polymerase structure in its native as well as in complex with chemical ligands (2.5A and C2 space group). The structure has been solved by MR a protein having 60% identity. The ASU has a monomer and dimer. Recently i complexed this RNA polymerase (protein A) with a highly flexible protein B and got the crystal. These crytsal also have C2 space group (resolution 2.3A) having similar cell parameters but has psudotranslation (17.34%). I tried MR using rosetta. HHpred server selected one of my deposited structure in PDB (3NAI 100% identity) as template. Rosetta MR gave 2 solutions one of which is dimer-monomer arrangement while the other one is a trimer. The values of these solution are below. Solution 1: trimer REMARK Log-Likelihood Gain: 10662.548 REMARK RFZ=16.5 TFZ=14.4 PAK=0 LLG=959 TFZ==23.2 RFZ=0.0 TFZ=48.9 PAK=0 LLG=3195 TFZ==55.6 (& TFZ==52.6) LLG+=(3191 & 7008) LLG=7024 TFZ==72.0 LLG=10663 TFZ==90.1 Solution 2: Monomer and dimer in ASU REMARK Log-Likelihood Gain: 2120.965 REMARK RFZ=39.7 TFZ=21.9 PAK=0 LLG=811 TFZ==37.7 LLG=2121 TFZ==43.6 REMARK ENSEMBLE ensemble_1 EULER 204.07 178.91 204.37 FRAC 0.499 Map and model fits well in both the cases with R and R free 26 and 30% respectively. My queries: 1. which one will be the correct solution? Is it possible that the protein B has resulted in the trimeric arrangement? 2. i cannot find any continuous 2Fo-Fc map for proteinB, but there are some continuous density at 0.7 which is very ambiguous. how can i improve the map so that i can model some fragments of my proteinB (protein B is of 73 amino acids and is predicted to be highly flexible and disordered. ((biochemical as well as bioinformatical analysis done )) I already have tried autobuild but it fails to build even a partial fragment of the proteinB. Kindly suggest how to proceed , or how can i prove the presence of protein B in the structure. Regards INTEKHAB ALAM LABORATORY OF STRUCTURAL BIOINFORMATICS KOREA UNIVERSITY, SEOUL

LigandFit error
by Priit Eek 14 Aug '11

14 Aug '11

Hi, I'm getting this error when trying to run LigandFit from the GUI: The key gui_output_dir is not in var_type_dict…this means the command-line Wizard needs a conversion in the ligandfit.py script under 'Translating inputs' or else in excluded_inputs or else the Wizard SetVars routine needs this variable set Is this a bug? I am using the 64-bit dev-842 version on OS X 10.7 Lion. Best regards, Priit

Unexpected Occupancy refiniement for ligands...
by Yuri 13 Aug '11

13 Aug '11

Hey, So I am finishing up a model at 1.5 A and I tried to refine my ligands (3) and waters (468) in addition to altloc residues. The residues refine as expected e.g OccA + OccB = 1.0 and all atoms in A have OccA and all the atoms in B have OccB. My ligands on the other are being refined as the following: HETATM 6867 C1 MLA L 3 32.357 -28.612 7.978 0.93 23.77 C C HETATM 6868 O1A MLA L 3 31.209 -28.949 7.502 0.85 24.79 C O HETATM 6869 O1B MLA L 3 32.454 -28.160 9.141 0.70 22.70 C O HETATM 6870 C2 MLA L 3 33.553 -28.727 7.095 1.00 25.46 C C HETATM 6871 C3 MLA L 3 34.774 -28.070 7.627 0.92 28.45 C C HETATM 6872 O3A MLA L 3 34.830 -27.664 8.808 1.00 30.15 C O HETATM 6873 O3B MLA L 3 35.775 -27.948 6.840 1.00 30.23 C O HETATM 6874 HC21 MLA L 3 33.321 -28.281 6.139 1.00 30.56 C H HETATM 6875 HC22 MLA L 3 33.760 -29.776 6.943 1.00 30.56 C H Each atom is getting an individual occupancy assigned, which physically is impossible :) Any light? Could it be my selection syntax? Corrigendum: I think I sent a bug email last night about an error when writing mtz files in refinement. It was an accident. My naming convention was bad, thats why it crashed. Sorry -- Yuri Pompeu

R/Rfree discrepancy Phenix vs Refmac
by Sabine Schneider 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Hello, I am refining a structure at 2.1A solved by MR. For curiosity I'm testing things like 'shaking' coordinates, simulated annealing, refinement Refmac vs Phenix and so on, to see what influence that has on stats, maps etc. For instance after MR I did a bit of shaking the coordinates with pdbset (noise 0.1), followed by simulated annealing in Phenix. Phenix states after SA: Start R-work = 0.2671, R-free = 0.2992 Final R-work = 0.2312, R-free = 0.2666 When I use the output pdb of phenix directly in Refmac (with same mtz as input for Phenix) Refmac tells me: Initial R factor 0.2392 R free 0.2887 So I am quite puzzled about the discrepancy. Or can someone tell me if I made an error in reasoning somewhere? Thanks a lot for the help! Sabine

Large size display system
by jens j birktoft 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

Sorry if this topic is bit off-list We are looking for some advice regarding a presentation system that permit the display in high definition of interactive molecular graphic sessions (incl. PHENIX,COOT, PyMOL. CHIMERA etc ) to our research group (10-12 people). Ideally we would like a 32"-36" LCD monitor coupled to a computer equipped with the proper graphics card for the large display as well as 24" monitor . Any suggestions would be appreciated Cheers Jens *+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++* * * *Jens J.

rosetta fragment files
by David NEVES 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

Hi, I'm also trying to use rosetta with a protein that has more than 650 aminoacids. I have found the answer on last June to the similar question about the fragment files but I couldn't make the script to change the aminoacids numbers work so far http://www.phenix-online.org/pipermail/phenixbb/2011-June/017268.html However I think the script got out of format and I can't make it work. I have python installed however I'm a total beginner on python. Is it possible that I could have the scrip file so I don't lose the proper format? Also, should I replace something inside (like put the file name somewhere) so it works? Thanks in advance David Neves Institut de Biologie Structurale Grenoble France
