mr_rosetta with fixed solutions for other chains
by Bard, Joel 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Hi- We have data for a crystal where two of three components have high homology search models and can be found with straightforward phaser runs but the third component has much weaker homology to anything in the pdb. Is there a way to provide the solution for the first two components and let mr_rosetta work on the third? Thanks, Joel

cif file for internal bond with one of two alternative conformations
by Daqi Tu 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Hi, I have a structure of drug bound to a protein. The drug has two alternative conformations, in which one of them has an internal bond making it a cyclic compound. How do I refine a structure like this? What modification should I do to its cif file, which I generated using elbow without the internal bond. Thank you. Daqi Tu (sorry if I have double posted.)

phenix.phaser params.eff labin problem
by G P 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Dear all, I am now writing a script for phenix.phaser. In the input file params.eff there is a keyword labin which corresponds to the labels inside input mtz files. The important columns in my ccp4 mtz file are FP, SIGFP. I edit the line of labin as: labin F=FP SIGF=SIGFP when running the script, it returns me: Syntax error: expected "=", found "F" (file "params.eff", line 9) So, I changed it like: labin=FP SIGFP when running, it gave me the message: Sorry: Couldn't find array FP SIGP in file I also tried: labin="FP" or labin = "FP SIGFP" or labin="labin F=FP" and so on. With nothing it can find the right columns. My mtz file should be not problem, I checked with mtzdmp, the columns FP and SIGFP were there and with phenix GUI this file works well. Would someone know exactly how to edit this line in params.eff? Many thanks! GP

Alternate conformer and HOH clashes
by Yuri 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Thanks guys... What about waters, do they follow the same ALTLOC rules? I have a high res data 1A and I see lots of things... Ill probably bother you again with some questions as I keep refining. Best, Yuri -- Yuri Pompeu

Alternate conformer and HOH clashes
by Yuri 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Dear All, I am having trouble refining multiple conformers that would clash into a neighbouring side chain that also has an alternate conformer. An attempt to clarify: Lets say a Tyr residue has conformation A1, but also moves into a position B1. In postition B, its side chain would clash into a neighbour Phe A2. However this Phe has another conformation B2. Bottom line, B1 and B2 would not clash, neither would A1 and A2. Any other combo (A1 B2, etc...) would clash. When I model it all in I see problems... I encounter the same situation with partially occupied HOHs. Whats the best way to deal with this Thank you -- Yuri Pompeu

restraints for D3O+ give problems to run in phenix.refine

hello, apologies if this problem has already been reported, i browsed for a while and i am running out of ideas to solve my problem. i have a neutron structure i was refining fine with phenix.refine untill i had to add a D3O water. description: running phenix.elbow or phenix.refine with .cif file for D3O i am getting the following error: ...

phenix.phaser PATH problem
by G P 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Dear all, It's long story: At beginning, I have phenix installed. I do not have CCP4 installed. Then I run "phenix.phaser params.eff" to call phenix run phaser from script params.eff. It works well. Then, I installed CCP4 with its own phaser inside. Then I run again "phenix.phaser params.eff". The computer start to import files (should be some libraries and supporting files, not input data) from CCP4 installation directory. It seems so strange for me. And because some of the .so files in CCP4 directory are for 32bit, phenix.phaser gave me error message: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 and refused to keep running. I guess I could solve this problem by copying the same .so file in phenix directory into CCP4's directory. What I really want to know is why this happen. Is that the installation of CCP4 changed some kinds of PATH variables for phenix? How could I fix by giving a right path again? I would appreciate to any help. Thanks a lot guys! Best regards, GP

phenix.phaser multiple models
by G Y 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Dear all, I want to give several input pdb (searching model) at same time and let phaser run MR separately on each of them. I found I can do this by first "Add ensembles" at Ensemble tab and then "Add search" at Search procedure tab then link the correct ensemble ID. However, there is just one output result for the best solution. Is there anyway to get all solutions in separate .mtz and .pdb files for different searching models? Many thanks! regards, G
