Hi all, I was trying to run autosol with a sca file. I get the following error message: GUESS FILE TYPE MERGE TYPE sca premerged TARGET LABELS ['IPLUS', 'SIGIPLUS', 'IMINU', 'SIGIMINU'] Unit cell: (45.947, 88.031, 129.436, 90, 90, 90) Space group: F 2 2 2 (No. 22) CONTENTS: ['AutoSol_run_26_/TEMP0/F222peak_PHX_I_476(+).sca', 'sca', 'premerged', 'F 2 2 2', [45.947000000000003, 88.031000000000006, 129.43600000000001, 90.0, 90.0, 90.0], 2.000299364734313, ['IPLUS', 'SIGIPLUS', 'IMINU', 'SIGIMINU']] File F222peak_PHX_I_476(+).sca RES: 2.0 Guess of most complete dataset: 1 with resolution of 2.0 for dataset 1 FILE IS: AutoSol_run_26_/LAST.LOG ******************************************************************************** Failed to carry out AutoSol_scale_and_analyze_mad: None of the solve versions worked I guess this has something to do with the column label of sca file. How do I fix this? Any help is appreciated. thanks, Shya

Molecule will not load into coot from Phenix 1.6.2-432
by Subhangi Ghosh 26 Jun '10

26 Jun '10

Hi, I'm using Phenix version 1.6.2-432. When I run phenix.refine, coot opens up, but my molecule does not load. If I open in coot after refinement, molecule still does not load in coot. Please help. Thank you, Subhangi

NAG clashes: C2 with ND2
by Sam Stampfer 26 Jun '10

26 Jun '10

Hi, I'm in the process of preparing 4 structures for submission to rcsb, and the validation server has pointed out numerous issues with the N-acetyl-glucosamine moieties on my structures. While I have fixed the torsion angles accordingly (using CARP from http://www.glycosciences.de/tools/carp/ as a validation checker) and they stay fixed after phenix refinement, phenix keeps generating 2-2.2 Angstrom clashes between ND2 on asparagine with C2 on the NAG (the linkage is ND2-C1 and the usual distances are at least 2.28 Angstroms). Occasionally, the ND2 to C2 distance is as low as 1.8 Angstroms. This is happening in all my structures and happens independently of the setting of wxc_scale (even for wxc_scale=0.05!) My NAG groups fit the density well, both pre- and post- refinement. Any suggestions? Will rcsb care? These clashes are present in 12 out of 39 NAG moieties. Thanks! -Sam

PHENIX refine: detached sidechain atoms
by Oliver King 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

Hi All, I've noticed that when refining a model in phenix.refine using a PDB file from Refmac, the sidechain atoms of certain residues become detached from the rest of the molecule and appear to float on their own, at least when viewing in Coot. I think this is down to the format of the PDB file. For example the atoms of a Leu residue from a phenix.refine file which displays well is of the form: ATOM 1 N LEU A 8 50.022 -34.247 -5.817 1.00 58.12 N ATOM 2 CA LEU A 8 49.788 -34.905 -4.539 1.00 55.84 C ATOM 3 C LEU A 8 48.339 -35.358 -4.348 1.00 60.39 C ATOM 4 O LEU A 8 48.008 -36.016 -3.360 1.00 68.40 O ATOM 5 CB LEU A 8 50.219 -34.011 -3.373 1.00 57.98 C ATOM 6 CG LEU A 8 51.690 -34.126 -2.975 1.00 65.66 C ATOM 7 CD1 LEU A 8 52.014 -33.170 -1.836 1.00 59.99 C ATOM 8 CD2 LEU A 8 52.020 -35.566 -2.594 1.00 68.57 C where as from a Refmac PDB which also behaves well, it is of the form: ATOM 1 N LEU A 8 50.453 -35.722 -5.617 1.00 20.00 N ATOM 2 CA LEU A 8 49.649 -35.131 -4.482 1.00 20.00 C ATOM 3 CB LEU A 8 50.190 -33.735 -4.147 1.00 20.00 C ATOM 4 CG LEU A 8 51.461 -33.755 -3.275 1.00 20.00 C ATOM 5 CD1 LEU A 8 52.556 -32.768 -3.741 1.00 20.00 C ATOM 6 CD2 LEU A 8 51.082 -33.546 -1.799 1.00 20.00 C ATOM 7 C LEU A 8 48.166 -35.063 -4.824 1.00 20.00 C ATOM 8 O LEU A 8 47.822 -34.257 -5.568 1.00 20.00 O but after refinement in phenix it becomes ATOM 1 N LEU A 8 50.734 -35.936 -5.935 1.00 54.45 N ATOM 2 CA LEU A 8 49.846 -35.185 -4.892 1.00 51.89 C ATOM 3 CB LEU A 8 50.377 -33.761 -4.516 1.00 51.22 C ATOM 4 CG LEU A 8 51.550 -33.730 -3.431 1.00 59.27 C ATOM 5 CD1 LEU A 8 52.457 -32.407 -3.635 1.00 60.88 C ATOM 6 CD2 LEU A 8 51.120 -34.090 -1.879 1.00 55.50 C ATOM 7 C LEU A 8 48.268 -35.042 -5.221 1.00 47.92 C ATOM 8 O LEU A 8 47.989 -34.282 -6.195 1.00 47.32 O and the CD2 atom is now too far away to be part of the residue in Coot Is there an easy way to convert a PDB from Refmac into one which will behave itself when put through phenix.refine? I've tried using phenix.pdb_tools and also putting the model through Molprobity and hoping that that the output would be corrected. Thanks, Olly King

Defining planarity for Phenix.refine
by Peter Grey 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Dear all, I have an RNA/Protein big complex at low resolution (roughly 4A). I would like to have the base pairs in the RNA as close as possible to ideal base pairs. I added restraints for distances between base pair hydrogen-bonding atoms but this is not enough to ensure that the bases will be in the same plane. Could you suggest how to define for Phenix.refine this planarity ? I am grateful for your advice, Peter

Re: [phenixbb] AutoMR:Multi-subunit model

Hello, Thanks. When I use the PDB structure with 8 polypeptides as the search model and specify the 8 sequences together, I get this warning from AutoMR- "ASYMMETRIC UNIT TOO FULL (scattering from ensembles =1.82 of total scattering)- TOTAL SCATTERING INCREASED: To get rid of this warning message do one of the following: (1) Increasing the scattering in the ASU (keyword COMPOSITION) because you have more scattering than you thought (2) Decrease the number of ensembles you are packing into the ASU (keywords SOLUTION and SEARCH)" Could this be a problem in missing some additional prosthetic groups ?

AutoMR:Multi-subunit model
by S. Saif Hasan 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hello, I have a membrane protein complex made up of 8 different polypeptides present in two copies each (16mer). The asymmetric unit is the octamer, as determined from previous crystallographic studies. To carry out molecular replacement with the phases from the published structure in AutoMR, should I specify the coordinates of the search model and its overall sequence identity as one file or should I break it down for each subunit ? Also, for the asymmetric unit contents, should I specify the sequence or mass of each subunit separately (as component 1, 2 and so on) keeping the number of copies fixed at 1 ? There is no NCS. Thanks. -- S. Saif Hasan Graduate Student Department of Biological Sciences Hockmeyer Hall of Structural Biology Purdue University 240 S. Martin Jischke Drive West Lafayette, IN 47907

how to extend R-free set
by Robert Immormino 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi, Hopefully I'm just missing something obvious.... I'm trying to copy the Rfree set from an old set of data, to a new mutant structure....and extend to higher resolution. I've tried: phenix.reflection_file_converter old.mtz --label="R-free-flags" new.sca --label="i_obs,sigma" --mtz new.mtz and several other combination, but I am still failing to get phenix to read multiple data files and output the desired mtz. I can get just the Rfree flags or the I and SigI, but not both. I also tried with phenix.refine phenix.refine --dry-run old.pdb old.mtz new.sca ligands.cif refinement.input.xray_data.labels="i_obs,sigma" refinement.input.xray_data.r_free_flags.label="R-free-flags" This seems closer, but I get the error: Sorry: R-free flags not compatible with F-obs array: missing flag for 492 F-obs selected for refinement: Thanks, -bob

find_all_ligands vs. ligand_identification
by Mark A Saper 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Could someone explain the difference between the GUI "ligand_identification" routine and the documented command line "find_all_ligands". The latter appears to have more flexible input parameters. I'm not sure the GUI for ligand_identification is working correctly. Thanks, Mark _________________________________ Mark A.
