prime_and_switch, error in input mtz label assignment

Dear all, I have a question to your kindest attention. We were trying to run today phenix on distant cluster (phenix-1.3) with next command line *phenix.autobuild data=data.mtz solvent_fraction=0.6 ps_in_rebuild=True \ input_pdb_file=model.pdb maps_only=True* Autobuild failed with these last lines in the Autobuild_run_1_1.log Failed to carry out AutoBuild_multiple_models: *Sorry, subprocess failed...message is: ******************************************************************************** phenix.autobuild \ write_run_directory_to_file=/home/btn1/tn_phenix/refine/final_loops/with_ncs_H/no_wateradd_noH/prime_switch/AutoBuild_run_1_/TEMP0/INFO_FILE_1 Reading effective parameters from /home/btn1/tn_phenix/refine/final_loops/with_ncs_H/no_wateradd_noH/prime_switch/AutoBuild_run_1_/TEMP0/PARAMS_1.eff Sending output to AutoBuild_run_1_/AutoBuild_run_1_1.log ******************************************************************************** Failed to carry out AutoBuild_build_cycle: failure ******************************************************************************** * in Autobuild_run_1_/TEMP0/Autobuild_run_1_/Autobuold_run_1_1.log the failure message is next: *Columns of data in AutoBuild_run_1_/TEMP0/TEMP.mtz: H K L FMODEL PHIFMODEL FP SIGFP 2FOFCWT PH2FOFCWT child process stderr output: command: 'AutoBuild_run_1_/TEMP0/temporary.com' resolve_giant: Error in label assignments Failed to run resolve ---------------------------------- TRIED resolve_giant ...but not OK ******************************************************************************** Failed to carry out AutoBuild_build_cycle: failure ******************************************************************************** * There are temporary.com and temporary.com.bak in the folder and there is only difference, except that in temporary.com there is "labin FP=FP FC=FMODEL PHIC=PH2FOFCWT FWT=2FOFCWT" in temporary.com.bak there is "labin FP=FP FC=FMODEL PHIC=PHI2FOFCWT FWT=2FOFCWT" Prime_and_switch.log file ends with *Reading SG information from TEMP.mtz Space group name: P21212 Point group: 222 Space group number : 18 Symmetry operators: 4 Number of columns: 9 H K L FMODEL PHIFMODEL FP SIGFP 2FOFCWT PH2FOFCWT *** Warning From LRASSN : User input label PHI2FOFCWT does not match any file label  resolve_giant: Error in label assignments </pre>   </html> * I checked created TEMP.mtz, it looks like: * Column Labels : H K L FMODEL PHIFMODEL FP SIGFP 2FOFCWT PH2FOFCWT So the question is next: Why is prime_and_switch process looking for the "right" labels (PH2FOFCWT), which are present in previously created TEMP.mtz file, but sees them wrong (PHI2FOFCWT)? Is this possible that we have somewhat wrong inputs or is there problem with the set of commands? Sincerely, Tanya * *

Hi, While I refining I found the following is included in the .log file. I am using different pdb files. When I looked up residue number 175, it looked ok to me. Do you guys have any idea how to deal with this? Conformer: "C" Number of residues, atoms: 175, 1321 Classifications: {'peptide': 175} Link IDs: {'PTRANS': 14, 'TRANS': 159, 'PCIS': 1} Chain breaks: 24 Unresolved chain link angles: 14 Unresolved chain link dihedrals: 28 Unresolved chain link planarities: 14 Unresolved non-hydrogen bonds: 50 Unresolved non-hydrogen angles: 60 Unresolved non-hydrogen dihedrals: 26 Unresolved non-hydrogen chiralities: 8 Planarities with less than four sites: {'GLU:plan': 1, 'ARG:plan': 1} Unresolved non-hydrogen planarities: 9 bond proxies already assigned to first conformer: 1313 Thanks in advance, Young-Jin

PHENIX 1.5 and exploding residues
by Antony Oliver 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Dear all, I am currently refining a structure using PHENIX 1.5-3 and have encountered some problems with "exploding residues". I have attached a image (small PNG file) highlighting the problem. Has anyone had a similar experience? Or know the solution to the problem? Change weighting in favour of geometry ? Many thanks, Tony Oliver .

question about constrain ncs
by crystallogrphy 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hi, I am refining a 3.6A data set. There are 5 monomers per asymetric unit. I am considering to use constrained NCS to increase the ratio of reflection/parameter. Does phenix.refine has a script to put contrained ncs or I just use simple_ncs_from_pdb to determine the best NCS?

PHENIX parallel computing?
by Joe Krahn 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

A parallel version of PHENIX was discussed before. I know that parallelization of refinement is difficult, and probably not worth the effort when there is still a lot of function/methods work. However, running parallel independent tasks could pay off without a lot of work. For example, optimization of WXU and WXC can spawn multiple tasks with different test weights. Annealing tasks could also run multiple jobs, and pick the best result, or even merge results based on real-space fit analysis. Joe Krahn

Does PHENIX exclude Rfree reflections in maps?
by Joe Krahn 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

Does PHENIX exclude R-free reflections when computing maps? IMHO, it is bad to use test reflections in maps, or anywhere else other than computing R-free, but opinions vary. If some people still want test reflections in maps, maybe it could be an option. Thanks, Joe Krahn

RESOLVE question
by Peter Grey 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Hello, We use iterative cycles of manual building (coot) - refinement (phenix) - density modification to improve maps for the next building step (RESOLVE). Should we use FMODEL,PHIFMODEL from phenix or FCALC,PHIFCALC in the input to RESOLVE. MODEL structure factors are closer to experimental ones but are they better for density modification purposes ? I think that if the program uses , as in DM, only Fobs and phases to calculate the maps then PHIFCALC is better (no contribution of solvent) but if the programs calculates 2Fo-Fc maps then FMODEL,PHIFMODEL is better since it was shown that these maps are beter when bulk solvent correction is used. Could you please comment whether this reasoning is correct and give information as to which is the case in resolve. Thanks, -- Peter

Re: [phenixbb] refining sugars
by Jose M Casasnovas 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Dear Ralf. I just solved the problem with the sugar refinement. Somehow the way the BETA1-4 cif defines the link is in the reverse order to the NAG-ASN cif link (at least to way I was used to do it). In the NAG-ASN cif, residue_selection_1 in the phenix.refine input must be the NAG and residue_selection_2 the ASN, such as I was used to do in CNS. However, the BETA1-4 cifs follows the opposite way: residue_selection_1 must be the first sugar residue (linked through O4) and residue_selection_2 the second sugar (linked through the C1), which is the most distant residue to the Asn. Thanks so much for your help and to all who sent comments and suggestions. Jose M Casasnovas -- Centro Nacional de Biotecnología (lab.
