Equations of transformation
by Hena Dutta 26 May '11

26 May '11

Dear Members, Sorry, if my question is out of the field. I want to know the mathematical relations between 2 sets of co-ordinates, one before and one after the rotation. I used COOT to rotate the side chain (containing atoms N1, C2, N3, C4, C5, C6, N6, N7 and C8) of Adenine by 180 degree about the glycosidic bond (C1’-N9). How the initial co-ordinates (Xi, Yi, Zi) and final co-ordinates (Xf, Yf, Zf) are mathematically related? I shall be very grateful if someone can tell me the equations. Regards... Hena

Refining sucrose
by Priit Eek 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hi, I couldn't find this (probably basic knowledge) in the manual or here, so... I have a problem with refining a sucrose ligand. It is not covalently bound to the protein – just electrostatic interaction. The density isn't the best, but it's still obvious it must be there. LigandFit can find the blob and fits the sucrose in there quite well, but when I run phenix.refine it distorts the geometry of the molecule and complains about it later in MolProbity - Basic Geometry validation in almost every possible way. How can I apply more stringent restraints to the ligand so its geometry wouldn't get so twisted? This might not be the most appropriate list for my second question, but the problem is the same and somebody probably knows: how to manually modify that sucrose in Coot (eg rotate only one ring or a -CH2OH group) or perform real space refinement? Right now I can only rotate/translate the whole sucrose and trying to perform a real space refinement results in an error ("Failed to match (to the dictionary) the following model atom names: SUC C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 O1 O2 O3 O4 O6. That would cause exploding atoms, so the refinement didn't start.") I haven't specified any custom cif libraries as SUC should be present in the built-in library of both Phenix and Coot. I'm using Phenix v1.7.1-743 and Coot v0.6.2-pre-1-rev3450 on OS X 10.6.7. Thank you in advance! Regards, Priit Eek

Weird R-free discrepancy.
by Yuri 22 May '11

22 May '11

I was working on a model for at 1.9 A using the previous phenix release (650). I was almost finished r-free was 0.197. I installed the newest release and refined again and my r-free went up to 0.228!!. The values for bsol and ksol look significantly different. I do not understand where the biggest difference is coming from... Below I pasted part of the .log files. Old and new, respectively. =============================== refinement start ============================== ----------structure factors based statistics (before refinement)---------- ----------X-ray data---------- |--(resolution: 1.90 - 28.74 A; n_refl. = 32203)------------------------------| | | | r_work= 0.1747 r_free= 0.1967 ksol= 0.40 Bsol= 39.70 scale= 0.064 | | | | overall anisotropic scale matrix (Cartesian basis; B11,B22,B33,B12,B13,B23):| | (-1.65,-1.65,3.31,-0.00,0.00,0.00); trace/3= -0.00 | | | | maximum likelihood estimate for coordinate error: 0.21 A | | x-ray target function (ml) for work reflections: 2.567485 | =============================== refinement start ============================== ----------structure factors based statistics (before refinement)---------- ----------X-ray data---------- |--(resolution: 1.90 - 28.74 A; n_refl. = 34277)------------------------------| | | | r_work= 0.1911 r_free= 0.2279 ksol= 0.40 Bsol= 59.62 scale= 0.063 | | | | overall anisotropic scale matrix (Cartesian basis; B11,B22,B33,B12,B13,B23):| | (-1.73,-1.73,3.47,0.00,0.00,-0.00); trace/3= 0.00 | | | | maximum likelihood estimate for coordinate error: 0.55 A | | x-ray target function (ml) for work reflections: 2.591014 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| -- Yuri Pompeu

BRU error

Hi, I'm using phenix for refinement and I keep getting an error. My DNA strand has a bromo-uridine in it and phenix.refine keeps crashing on this nucleotide. Here is the error: Number of atoms with unknown nonbonded energy type symbols: 40 "ATOM 2770 P BRU P 5 .*. P " "ATOM 2771 O1P BRU P 5 .*. O " "ATOM 2772 O2P BRU P 5 .*. O " "ATOM 2773 O5* BRU P 5 .*.

I think it may just be a naming thing. BRU is already in the monomer library so I don't understand why I get an error at first also without the readyset cif file. Any suggestions? Thanks, Krystle

map error?
by Christian Roth 19 May '11

19 May '11

Dear all, I got a error message in the last round of phenix.refine which seesm to be related to map or mtz file creation (error.txt attached). I used the GUI and I unchecked the map creation option in ccp4 or Xplor before I started the run. I am not sure whats going wrong here. Please could you point me to the problem. Best regards Christian

mr_rosetta on a supercomputer
by Patricia Amara 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hello, I have been trying to run phenix.mr_rosetta on a supercomputer where we are limited to 24h for parallel jobs and we have different queues for job mono. Thus to run we have two files. We do not really understand how the code proceeds with nproc so we just put 6 for now. When we sent it, it created 1000 jobs on MR_ROSETTA_1/GROUP_OF_PLACE_MODEL_1/RUN_1/GROUP_OF_ROSETTA_REBUILD_1/RUN_1/REBUILD_IN_SETS_1 it sent 10 jobs mono, but ran only 5 first than the other five. Then the job running the script hangs. when we looked at the log files in the MR_ROSETTA_1/GROUP_OF_PLACE_MODEL_1/RUN_1/GROUP_OF_ROSETTA_REBUILD_1/RUN_1/REBUILD_IN_SETS_1 directories it filled up only 4 if we re-run only 3 and never the same. do you have any idea what we're doing wrong? thanks in advance for your input Patricia Amara ps; Thus to run we have two files. One to send the script #!/bin/bash #MSUB -e ros1_%I.e #MSUB -o ros1_%I.o #MSUB -n 6 #MSUB -T 86400 cd /scratch/cont003/amara/Rosetta-NadA ./rosetta.run and the script itself: phenix.mr_rosetta \ seq_file=/scratch/cont003/amara/Rosetta-NadA/NADA.seq \ data=/scratch/cont003/amara/Rosetta-NadA/NadA-7-BM16-remote-no_ano-P21212-Rfree_shell.mtz \ search_models=/scratch/cont003/amara/Rosetta-NadA/model_2.pdb \ run_prerefine=True \ number_of_prerefine_models=1000 \ fragment_files = /scratch/cont003/amara/Rosetta-NadA/aat000_03_05.200_v1_3.gz \ fragment_files = /scratch/cont003/amara/Rosetta-NadA/aat000_09_05.200_v1_3.gz \ rescore_mr.relax=False \ rosetta_models=20 \ ncs_copies=3 \ space_group=p21212 \ use_all_plausible_sg=False \ max_wait_time=100 \ nproc=6 \ group_run_command= "/usr/share/lsf/7.0/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/bin/bsub -n 1 -q mono -W 03:00"

phenix.model_vs_data enhancement request
by Schubert, Carsten [PRDUS] 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi Pavel, do you think it would be possible to extend the statistics printed out by phenix.model_vs_data, so it also does a break-down by chains? Right now the stats are listed by residue type, i.e. protein/ligand/solvent/etc. For instance if I am interested in the B-factors of a glycosylated protein with ligands, the sugars and ligands all get muddled together. Breaking this down by chains as well would allow for finer control. Cheers, Carsten
