Re: [phenixbb] [phenix] generate r free flags in phenix.refine not obeying high resolution limit?
by Pascal EGEA 20 Aug '08

Hi All, Following Pavel's answer to Francis Reyes, I have a very basic question about this too. What is a good distribution of reflections and what are thin bins of resolution to ensure correct ML estimations? Are there any basic statistical rules that should be considered. Thanks Pascal Pascal F. Egea, PhD Post Doctoral Researcher University of California San Francisco Department of Biophysics and Biochemistry Robert Stroud Laboratory pascal(a)msg.ucsf.edu

generate r free flags in phenix.refine not obeying high resolution limit?
by Francis E Reyes 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Hi all When generating R-Free flags from phenix refine, flags are generated all the way to the limit of the data. However, shouldn't flags be generated up to the limit of the data if specified via refinement.input.xray_data.high_resolutio n ? If not, are the statistics for R/Rfree matching to high resolution data that may be suspicious ?

Hi all, A quick question about extracting info/preparing pdb file for deposition.......... I've got a pdb file after refinement using phenix 1.3b. I was wondering if there is a way to prepare this file / format this the same way as in 1.3 final where we get "REMARK IF THIS FILE IS FOR PDB DEPOSITION: REMOVE ALL FROM THIS LINE UP" and REMARK 3. i'm already running refinement 1.3 final with the same parameters just to quickly compare the resulting refined files/numbers. I guess I could do it manually but curious if there is an easier way using 1.3 final. thanks, Sid.

Resolution cutoffs. Always debated?
by Francis E Reyes 19 Aug '08

19 Aug '08

I need to put this in front of (this) crystallographic community. What are the criteria for cutting a resolution for data reduction ? Rmerge, I/sig, mean I/sig, completeness... more? I once believed that I/Sig (not averaged) greater than 2 was the cutoff, but I've read online (particularly http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02576.html) that this is no longer the case because of maximum likelihood. I would love to know why this is the case as well as poll the community on how they cut off their data.

Autobuild builds more residues after MR?
by Francis E Reyes 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Perhaps a silly question, but suppose after MR, there is additional density to be built (say, another molecule). Will the autobuild after mr build into this new density?

ALS user meeting
by Peter Zwart 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Dear All, I would like to draw your attention to this years ALS user meeting, held from October 13-15. In particular, the workshop titled "Recent advances in the automation of protein crystallography" might be of interest to the protein crystallographic community. The workshop consists of a series of short talks and a hands-on session in which various developers and beamline staff will demo latest developments on their beamlines. Scheduled speakers include: Gyorgy Snell (Takeda SD) Aina Cohen (SSRL) Jay Nix (ALS beamline 4.2.2) Babu Pothineni ( GMCA cat, APS) Scheduled Demonstrations are (tentative titles only) : * Efficient screening and data collection using Mini & WebIce (Bl. 5.0.n) Peter Zwart, John Taylor & Nick Sauter * Data collection @ 4.2.2 Jay Nix * SSRL & Webice Aina Cohen * Automated structure solution with PHENIX P. Afonine * Elves & 8.3.1 J. Holton Detailed workshop information can be found at http://bcsb.als.lbl.gov/wiki/index.php/ALS2008_Workshop Other workshops of interest held during the ALS user meeting can be found here: http://www-als.lbl.gov/als/usermtg/workshops.html Registration is now open for all participants: http://www-als.lbl.gov/als/usermtg/index.html Greetings Peter Zwart -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- P.H.

sharing the ext_ref_files between multiple installations
by Ben Eisenbraun 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Howdy, I'm wondering if it's possible for me to put the ext_ref_files directory into a shared location and then symlink that directory into multiple PHENIX installations to save some disk space. Are the files specific to a particular PHENIX version? Or to a specific CPU architecture? Thanks. -ben -- Ben Eisenbraun Structural Biology Grid Harvard Medical School http://sbgrid.org http://hms.harvard.edu
