phenix.refine GUI freezes when using Coot or Pymol
by Derek Logan 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Hi, I've been using the phenix.refine GUI for a few days now and find it a very valuable addition. However I notice that when I choose to display the results of refinement in Pymol or Coot, it freezes the GUI until I exit the chosen graphics program. Is this a bug or a feature? If nothing else, it makes it hard to analyse the MolProbity results in Coot. I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.6. Thanks Derek __________________________________________________________________ Derek Logan tel: +46 46 222 1443 Associate Professor fax: +46 46 222 4692 Molecular Biophysics mob: +46 76 8585 707 Centre for Molecular Protein Science Lund University, Box 124, 221 00 Lund, Sweden

Re: [phenixbb] individual plus group adp's
by Pavel Afonine 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Hi Emmanuel, why don't you just do combined TLS + individual ADP refinement, which is the best option in most of cases? Anyway, here is the answer to your question. If you are running phenix.refine from the command line, the following command phenix.refine model.pdb data.hkl params.txt where the file "params.txt" contains these lines refinement.refine { strategy = *individual_sites rigid_body *individual_adp *group_adp tls \ *occupancies group_anomalous adp { individual { isotropic = chain A or chain B } group_adp_refinement_mode = one_adp_group_per_residue \ two_adp_groups_per_residue *group_selection group = chain C } } will refine: - individual coordinates for all atoms; - individual isotropic B-factors for all atoms in chain A and B; - group B-factor for chain C (one B-factors per whole chain C); - occupancies for all atoms in alternative conformations (if any present in your structure). Also should be able to do this using phenix.refine GUI. Please let me know if you have any questions! Pavel.

LINK records, sugars, and a question in two parts
by Engin Ozkan 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

Hi everyone, I was wondering if phenix.refine does or does not write out LINK records in the output pdb. Also, are carbohydrate groups written out as ATOM or HETATMs? The reason I am asking is that I was trying to use a sugar group geometry/naming validation tool called pdbcare (at glycosciences.de), and the program is failing to read out the sugar groups from the pdb. One reason I can see is that the sugars are written out with ATOM cards, while the program possibly expects HETATM, and the other is that this program might be looking for LINK cards (These pdb files were written put by phenix 1.3rc6, so maybe if I rerefined them with 1.4.3, I might get a different result). By the way, I can get these files to be read properly by pdb2linucs at the same webpage (after telling it to use both ATOM and HETATM, and telling it to calculate linkages itself). If there is anyone out there who has used the pdbcare successfully on phenix.refine pdb files, please let me know. It would also be great to add carbohydrate validation tools to the army of great modules in phenix (such as phenix.xtriage and phenix.ramalyze). Engin

phenix.automr ensemble/component question
by Scott Classen 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

Hi Phenixers, I'm a bit confused about the proper syntax for my phenix.automr job. This is probably a simple concept, but I'm running on 3 hours of sleep as my kid was up all night, and my synapses aren't working so good. I expect 2 copies of my protein per AU My protein is composed of two domains I have a single PDB search model for each domain is either of these commands correct? phenix.automr data=mydata.sca \ ensemble_1.coords=domain1.pdb \ ensemble_1.identity=95 \ ensemble_1.copies_to_find=2 \ component_1.mass=40579 \ component_1.component_copies=2 \ ensemble_2.coords=domain2.pdb \ ensemble_2.identity=95 \ ensemble_2.copies_to_find=2 \ component_2.mass=13410 \ component_2.component_copies=2 or phenix.automr data=mydata.sca \ ensemble_1.coords=domain1.pdb \ ensemble_1.identity=95 \ ensemble_1.copies_to_find=1 \ component_1.mass=40579 \ component_1.component_copies=2 \ ensemble_2.coords=domain2.pdb \ ensemble_2.identity=95 \ ensemble_2.copies_to_find=1 \ component_2.mass=13410 \ component_2.component_copies=2 essentially I'm not really using an ensemble of search models, I only have a single PDB for each domain. So should ensemble_1.copies_to_find and ensemble_2.copies_to_find be set to 1 or 2?

Constrained occ refinement -- sum not equal 1
by Schubert, Carsten [PRDUS] 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

Hi, I am trying to sort out some issues with the constrained occupancy refinement in phenix 1.4.3. The structure I am working on is fairly high resolution ~1.4A and it looks as if a couple of the alternative conformations would benefit from occupancy refinement, no hydrogens are present yet. I defined the constrained groups like this: occupancies { individual = None remove_selection = None constrained_group { selection = chain A and resid 66 and altid A selection = chain A and resid 66 and altid B } .... I expected that the sum of occupancies would be restrained to 1, which they should according to the manual, but the refinement gives me occupancies of 0.7 for altid A and 0.34 for altid B, starting values were both 0.5. Similar discrepancies were also present in other groups, like 0.5 A, 0.37 B etc. The latter is the largest deviation from 1 I have seen in thus far. The alternate conformations were generated in coot, by splitting at the CA position. Is this a rounding error I just have to contend with or is there some other parameter I need to tweak? Cheers, Carsten
