phenix.autobuild error

Hey all, I'm calling phenix.autobuild with the following command: phenix.autobuild data=second_try_33.1.mtz model=second_try_33.1.pdb \ > seq_file=name_139_414.seq ps_in_rebuild=True On my MacBook Pro (OSX 5.6, phenix Version: 1.4, Release tag: 3, cctbx tag: 2008_12_07_1353, Platform: mac-intel-osx osx-10.5.6), I get the following error: Exception RuntimeError: 'maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object' in <type 'exceptions.KeyError'> ignored 108409888 On a linux box (RHEL 5.2, phenix Version: 1.4, Release tag: 3, cctbx tag: 2008_12_07_1353, Platform: intel-linux-2.6 redhat-e5.2) I get this error: ******************************************************************************** Failed to carry out AutoBuild_build_cycle: child process stderr output: command: 'csh /csb/home/andreas/name/P6big/second_try/autobuild/AutoBuild_run_2_/TEMP0/RUN_FILE_1' tset: standard error: Invalid argument ******************************************************************************** Each time, the script was run on the same set of files residing on the linux box. I either ssh into the machine and run phenix.autobuild in an ssh shell or mount my linux home directory via MacFusion and run phenix.autobuild on the Mac. I haven't tried copying the files to the Mac, but other phenix commands work with the remote data (e.g. phenix.autobuild data=data.mtz solvent_fraction=.6 ps_in_rebuild=True model=coords.pdb maps_only=True) What's the problem?

Twin refinement issues?
by Phil Jeffrey 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

While experimenting with twin refinement for a crystal in P321 that approximates P622 to varying extents, I noticed: | twin fraction: 0.59 twin operator: -h,-k,l | A bug, perhaps ? This twin fraction would seem to be unlikely, since twin fractions > 0.5 have no meaning. Since this data does not scale well in p622 compared to some more heavily-twinned datasets on this xtal form I think the twin fraction is certainly less than 0.5. Xtriage estimates: Statistics depending on twin laws ----------------------------------------------------------------- | Operator | type | R obs. | Britton alpha | H alpha | ML alpha | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | -h,-k,l | M | 0.150 | 0.343 | 0.347 | 0.283 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unless of course phenix.refine is reporting 2*alpha. Phenix v1.4-3 Intel Mac OSX 10.5.6 This particular run with: phenix.refine model-08.pdb pz7e_truncate-unique.mtz refinement.main.ncs=true strategy=individual_sites+group_adp --overwrite xray_data.r_free_flags.generate=True twin_law="-h,-k,l" This is a very early non-finessed model.

Dear all, I am refining a protein structure using phenix.refine, when i tried to use optimize_wxc, optimize_wxu It always crashes and gives following error.

Phenix.refine Rigid Body multi_body_factor
by Mary Fitzgerald 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

I was wondering when you would want to change multi_body_factor= 1? Is this something you would change when you have multiple rigid body domains? From the name, that's what I'm guessing it's for. I'm refining a large over 400 kD multimer complex with two complexes in the ASU. So, if I have 5 chains in each multimer would I want to try to change the multi_body_factor to 10? Or does multi_body_factor affect something else. Thanks, Mary X. Fitzgerald Postdoctoral Associate Arnold Lab

optimize_wxc and wxu
by Scott Classen 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hello phenixbb, In general should one optimize wxc and wxu ONLY as a final polishing step or can this be done earlier in the refinement and then the optimized values used for subsequent rounds of refinement? If so which values in the log file should be written into the .def file and where? Here is a snippit from my def file after I optimized weights and changed the optimize flags back to False: target_weights { mode = *automatic every_macro_cycle wxc_scale = 0.5 wxu_scale = 1 wc = 1 wu = 1 fix_wxc = None fix_wxu = None optimize_wxc = False bonds_rmsd_max = 0.05 angles_rmsd_max = 3.5 optimize_wxu = False shake_sites = True shake_adp = 10 regularize_ncycles = 50 verbose = 1 wnc_scale = 0.5 wnu_scale = 1 rmsd_cutoff_for_gradient_filtering = 3 } Thanks, Scott ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scott Classen, Ph.D. SIBYLS Beamline 12.3.1 http://bl1231.als.lbl.gov Advanced Light Source Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 1 Cyclotron Rd MS6R2100 Berkeley, CA 94720 C) 510.206.4418 O) 510.495.2697 Beamline) 510.495.2134 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi, Does anybody know an easy way to restrain nucleic acid base pairs (base stacking+Watson-Crick base pairing) in phenix.refine? I am refining against a 3.3 A dataset. Thanks, Imre

phenix autobuild and omit map
by rpai＠berkeley.edu 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi, I have a loop that was improperly built when I ran autobuild. the density according to the Fobs-Fcalc maps is not that great. Someone told me that autobuild can use omit maps to build / rebuild the loops so you dont have to do it by hand. Looking at the manual, I found the command, but am a little confused. The model used is the entire model correct? the target.pdb is the chain or region that was not correctly built. For iterative building...how many cycles should I go for? phenix.autobuild data=w1.sca model=coords.pdb omit_box_pdb=target.pdb \ composite_omit_type=iterative_build_omit thanks Raj

imaginary map (anomlous difference Fourier) from phenix
by Ulrich Baumann 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi everybody, I used phenix for calculating anomalous Fourier coefficients (script below) and I get the desired file containing columns FANOM PHANOM. When I read this into Coot for displaying the imaginary map, I only get noise, regardless of resolution cutoff etc. When I export the Fcalcs as CNS format and use CNS for the map calculation, I get very high peaks (i.e. excellent signal-to-noise ratio) on the anomalous scatterers. Inspection of the phenix fcalc file reveals that FOFCWT_no_fill equals FANOM and PHFOFCWT_no_fill is identical to PHANOM . Obviously I am doing something stupidly wrong. Setting xray_data.force_anomalous_flag_to_be_equal_to=true doesn't change anything, by the way, and i am using the latest Phenix version. I vaguely remember that there were an issue with anomlous data but can't find the thread.

maps and autobuild
by chandra bose 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

hello, I am a first time user to phenix , and I have just completed the autobuild function,. My question may have been asked many times before, but.. The output after the cycles of autobuild/refinement gave me a refined file for a 2.2 Angstrom data set with an R/Rfree of .28/.32. I want to take a look at the density modified maps and see what I can adjust further, but am having trouble loading it in coot. Am I correct in understanding that Coot can load and construct 2f0-fc maps? if so How? : exptl_fobs_phases_freeR_flags.mtz overall_best_denmod_map_coeffs.mtz; overall_best_refine_map_coeffs.mtz; Also from reading the manual, as I understand it, the phenix.refine command will automatically generate Coot compatible maps. But if I take my autobuild.pdb file and the original mtz data file, how can I quickly obtain the same R/Rfree, what commands would I have to imput other than phenix.refine mtz pbd? Also, is it possible to make 3Fo-2Fc maps? Thanks Charlie
