cif. file for AFITT
by Muhammad Bashir Khan 27 Mar '21

27 Mar '21

Hello all Could somebody explain how I can generate a cif. file of ligand for AFITT. I am using afitt in phenix refinement using the ligand cif. file generated by the elbow. But it complains. I have two different types of ligands in the structure. Thanks Bashir -- ------------------------------------------------------ Muhammad Bashir Khan, Ph.D. Research Associate Department of Biochemistry Medical Science Bldg.

Unusual ligand conformation
by Joel Tyndall 26 Mar '21

26 Mar '21

Hi all, We have been finalising a structure with a ligand complexed to heme. I have been checking the close to final structure and I noticed that the ligand looks distorted away from what one would expect. We use Phenix.refine We initially used the grade server for our restraints files. I also just used elbow to generate a new one. Looking at both, the restraints look reasonable (similar in both) however the initial output pdb from elbow is distorted further. The angles /lengths looked reasonable and are similar to small molecule structures (CCDC). The planarity of a bi-phenyl moiety is very distorted. [cid:[email protected]] Are we missing something? Do we need to tell phenix.refine to not over refine the model? Should elbow give a distorted model? Apologies if this is all online but my uni cant seem to access phenix.org!

map to model FSC calculation
by C.J. 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Hi All, I'm new to phenix and a bit confused to map to model FSC calculation. Which program should I use, phenix.mtriage or phenix.map_model_cc? If both work, what is the difference between them? Thank you! Jianhao

Looking at one of screenshots I see you have 2.42% of atoms with occupancy less than 1. Do you really see partially occupied atoms in 4A resolution map? Unlikely! So.. please check those out! I can run more diagnostics for you if you share maps and models (off-list of course!). Pavel

on "Tutorial: Solving a structure with cryo-EM data using docking"
by Smith Lee 20 Mar '21

Dear All, For "Tutorial: Solving a structure with cryo-EM data using docking", it is easy to download the emd_20026_half_map_1_box.ccp4 and emd_20026_half_map_2_box.ccp4 from the emd-20026 depositation, but will you please let me know step by step how to get the tutorial used seq.dat, 20026_auto_sharpen_A.ccp4 (any other name for this file? Cannot find the exact name file in emd_20026 depositation), apoferritin_chainA_rsr.pdb (it mentioned "model refined against sharpened map", which sharpened map, and what was the refinement method ued?), run_denmod_dock.csh? I am looking forward to getting your reply. Best wishes, Smith

Ligand refinment problum
by Muhammad Bashir Khan 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

Hello all; I have a crystal structure with four molecules per unit of the cell. It contains two different ligands. Four are similar while the fifth one is different. Placed all the five ligands manually by coot. Now I want to refine. Before refinement, I run the ReadySet to generate the cif. file. It shows an error. Then I supply the cif. file of both the ligand coming from the elbow, It still shows the following error. screenshot attached. Any help would be appreciated. Sincerely; Bashir -- ------------------------------------------------------ Muhammad Bashir Khan, Ph.D. Research Associate Department of Biochemistry Medical Science Bldg.

rotamers in real space refine
by Leonid Sazanov 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Hi, We still have a problem of some Trp and Tyr residues going out of very clear density in high-resolution (~2.5 A) EM maps upon real space refine in phenix, even the latest version. Is there may be a more extensive rotamer library (including those pseudo-"outliers") available somewhere to be used in Phenix?

Migrating all phenix projects to a new location without breaking all of the file paths.
by Leonard,Paul G 16 Mar '21

16 Mar '21

Hi, Does anyone have instructions I can follow for how to move all of my phenix directories to a new location without messing up all of the file paths in each project. Our IT department wants to relocate files on our server which will change all of the top directory locations to something new so before that happens I think there is a way I can have a file that will allow me to recreate all of the phenix projects in the GUI with the new file paths but I can't recall how to do it. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
