A chance to develop new therapies through AI molecular screening
by Tessa Van Grack 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

Hi PhenixBB community, We are excited to announce the opening of the AIMS Awards Fall 2020 cycle! Collaborate with us to find novel active compounds for your protein target of interest. Our AIMS Awards program provides non-profit researchers with virtual screening and compounds for physical testing at no cost. For anyone with a protein target of interest, the AIMS Award program can help you discover new molecular tools, start new drug development programs, and get published. The program is open to investigators, postdocs, and graduate students worldwide. You can apply directly on the website: atomwise.com/aims <https://hubs.la/H0z3sT80>. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions!

phenixbb Digest, Vol 180, Issue 1 : Using a CryoEM density for MR
by Claudia Millán Nebot 10 Nov '20

10 Nov '20

Dear Almudena, I'm assuming that you were testing the full mr phaser section in phenix and tried the add map ensemble. This expects an mtz containing structure factors, and where certain preparation has been done. A full description of the steps required can be found in a prior publication ( https://www.nature.com/articles/nprot.2015.069?proof=t) from our group. In short, you'll need to first convert your mrc map to structure factors (there a command line utility for this in phenix, called map_to_structure_factors). But you can't input this directly as an ensemble, a series of other steps involving placing the map in a large P1 cell using phenix.cut_out_density (wit the option for_phaser set to True) will also be required for it to work, and you'll need to give information about the center and the extent of your map, as well as an estimation of the errors in the map (in form of an rmsd). Only then you'll be able to use the density for MR. Within the framework of the new version of phaser under development, phasertng, we are working on facilitating this MR approach, making it automatic and robust, and investigating about the best ways to treat the maps and to parameterise their search. This is work in progress but we have already some modes for map preparation for MR within phasertng, so we will also be happy, if you share with us the file off-line, to provide you with the prepared structure factors file. Otherwise, if you need any help in following the steps of the previous protocol, we will also provide the support.

Table 1 Issue 2
by Xavier Brazzolotto 10 Nov '20

10 Nov '20

I've downloaded the 1.19rc5-4047 version of Phenix and the Table 1 issue is still present. Table 1 does not output macromolecule, ligand and water specific values for « Number of non-hydrogen atoms » and « Average B-factor » items. Still on OSX Xavier

Anomalous signal
by Shramana Chatterjee 05 Nov '20

Hi, How can I find anomalous signal for Zn-metal to be sure whether Zn is binding or not, for an already processed dataset? It would be very helpful if I get any suggestion. Thank you in advance.

mrc maps as a molecular replacement model
by Almudena Ponce Salvatierra 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

Hi everybody, I would like to use a cryo-EM map for MR, however, I get an error message as I try to provide it to phaser: "Phenix did not recognize the file type for xxx.mrc" My Phenix version is 1.17.1-3660-000 What should I do? Thank you very much

Phenix User Workshop, 17th and 18th of November
by Paul Adams 03 Nov '20

03 Nov '20

Dear Colleagues, The Phenix developers will be holding an online *Phenix User Workshop on the 17th and 18th of November at 8am-12pm PDT.* These times will work best for researchers in North and South America, Europe and Africa. We plan to hold a future workshop at a time better suited to researchers in Asia and Australasia. The format of the workshop will be demos of the use of Phenix programs combined with slides to explain the theory. We expect an interactive meeting where attendees can ask questions for the Phenix team to answer. The workshop will cover aspects of macromolecular crystallography in Phenix, with the final emphasis based on the applicants’ research interests. To apply please fill out this form <https://forms.gle/Q8P6ZC9fYqTkS7qD7>. We will make every effort to accommodate all applicants, but may need to defer some requests to a future workshop if demand is high. We are hoping this workshop will be a success, in which case we plan to host more in the future.

Number of unique reflections
by Armando Albert 20 Oct '20

20 Oct '20

Dear all, We have realise that the output mtz and mmcif files duplicate the number of miller indices (the number of unique reflections) with respect to those in the mtz input file. We guessed that this correspond to the friedel pairs, but it is annoying for pdb submission, as the server warns that the observations measured are less that those used in the refinement. What shall we do fro correct this issue? Armando
