Phenix crashes
by Katya Heldwein 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

Hi, I am running phenix-1.4-159 on an Intel Mac. I get the following error: Bus error (Python call stack above) This crash may be due to a problem in any imported Python module, including modules which are not part of the cctbx project. To disable the traps leading to this message, define these environment variables (e.g. assign the value 1): BOOST_ADAPTBX_FPE_DEFAULT BOOST_ADAPTBX_SIGNALS_DEFAULT This will NOT solve the problem, just mask it, but may allow you to proceed in case it is not critical. If I fix it by setenv BOOST_ADAPTBX_FPE_DEFAULT 1 I still get the same error. If I also do setenv BOOST_ADAPTBX_SIGNALS_DEFAULT 1 I don't get the error but phenix crashes nonetheless. How do I get around this problem? Thanks, Katya

question about pick water in autobuild
by crystallogrphy 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hi, I am building a model against a 2.1A data set using phenix.autobuild. Right now Rfree is about 35%. I do not want to pick water in this stage because I see denisty at N-terminal of my model which need to build more residues. However, the program still picks water even after I say 'place_waters=False'. Does anyone know why? phenix.autobuild data=exptl_fobs_phases_freeR_flags.mtz model=AutoBuild_run_4_/overall_best-090905a.pdb seq_file=../ztb-sd.seq refinement.place_waters=False refinement.refine_with_ncs=True nproc=2

Hi Qun, With your command you need to add one more keyword to get rid of all the waters: place_waters_in_combine=False I'm sorry that doesn't happen automatically if you say place_waters=False ...I will make that happen in the future. Note however that these waters should not interfere with building...as waters are always deleted prior to building model. I note also that your command does not add new residues; it only adjusts the ones that are there. To build new model add: rebuild_in_place=False All the best, -Tom T >> Hi, >> >> from what you explain, the main issue I see here is that the model building program does not treat water simply as density peaks, and so removes them (waters) if necessary to build a protein chain instead. >> >> Otherwise, it's probably a good idea in general to fill in all unmodeled >> places with some placeholders like water, or probably isolated N atoms would work even better (if I recall correctly). >> >> Pavel. >> >> >> On 9/7/09 6:18 AM, crystallogrphy wrote: >>> Hi, Pavel: >>> The problem here is that autobuild placed waters into the densities where they are the N-terminal residues.

Why don't you consider those waters as a tool for improving your map? You are free to remove any of them them later on. This can be viewed as a prototype of what ARP/wARP does, or other "density growing" techniques... In your case you just temporarily place waters where the model is still absent, and when you build those missing places just consider waters as density peaks (I hope model building programs assume waters as just density peaks and remove waters if they are on the macromolecule's way).

question about phenix.refine

Hi, I want to use phenix to refine a model right after autobuild with the following script: phenix.refine xray_data.file_name=exptl_fobs_phases_freeR_flags.mtz overall_best-090903a.pdb strategy=rigid_body+individual_sites simulated_annealing=true simulated_annealing.start_temperature=8000 sites.rigid_body="chain A" sites.rigid_body="chain B" However, the program says " F-obs: exptl_fobs_phases_freeR_flags.mtz:FP,SIGFP If previously used R-free flags are available run this command again with the name of the file containing the original flags as an additional input. If the structure was never refined before, or if the original R-free flags are unrecoverable, run this command again with the additional definition: refinement.input.xray_data.r_free_flags.generate=True when I use phenix.mtz.dump exptl_fobs_phases_freeR_flags.mtz, it indicates that it has FreeR_flag=1.

target omit map
by Susan Tsutakawa 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

I am trying to generate a simulated annealing omit map of a Mg-water cluster in the active site of my protein but when I run the SA omit map, I can only see the Mg when I use the Mgwater cluster as the target pdb. When I was building the model which did not have the metal present (phases solved by MR), I observed this Mg-water cluster in the Fo-Fc maps. Geometry and distance were ideal, etc. Now that I'm at the final stages of refinement, I would like to do a SA omit map as a figure for the paper. However, if I goto the lowest sigma, I only see the Mg. I'm using coot with the weights included to view the SA omit maps. I noticed that there is very little noise at the lowest sigma and so I'm wondering if the 0 sigma is truly 0 sigma and any suggestions on what to do. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Susan

Hi all - is it possible to specify custom planar restraints in phenix.refine? I'm refining a 3.8A protein-dna complex and although i've set hydrogen bonding restraints between base pairs, they still become very twisted and buckled after refinement. Alan
