Hi, Is there a way to add hydrogens back on lipids using Readyset? I tried this with no success. Best wishes, Noor

Refining ligands in a structure
by Joel Tyndall 12 Mar '21

12 Mar '21

Hi folks, It has been a while since we have done much with phenix. We are refining a structure with a known ligand, voriconazole (exists on the pdb). We get an error regarding a lack of .cif file/restraints. Do we normally need to specify a cif file given this is a known ligand and can be retrieved in Coot? I assume that phenix would call on a known library of ligands/monomers that are known. Is this the correct library? phenix-installer-1.17.1-3660-intel-windows-x86_64\modules\chem_data\chemical_components\ Many thanks Joel Joel Tyndall | BSc(Hons) PhD Associate Professor in Medicinal Chemistry School of Pharmacy | He Rau Kawakawa University of Otago | Te Whare Wānanga o Otāgo PO Box 56 9054 Dunedin | Ōtepoti New Zealand | Aotearoa Ph: 64 3 479 7293 Skype: jtyndall Website | pharmacy.otago.ac.nz

Spatial query acceleration structure in cctbx?
by Russell M. Taylor II 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

As part of integrating the MolProbity tools more tightly with the CCTBX, I'm modifying the Probe code that will be shared by it and Reduce to use native CCTBX structures. One of the structures is a spatial map to accelerate the search for nearby atoms in a model. Before building my own (3D grid with near neighbors listed, ability to insert and remove atoms as they move), I wanted to check and see what was already available in the CCTBX. I looked at the page listing the CCTBX core objects and functions and did not see one, and searching for "spatial" and "accel" in the source tree did not turn up anything promising. Is there one already in there? If not, is this something that others would find to be a useful tool and, if so, where should it live? Otherwise, I'll make it part of Probe. Thanks, Russ Taylor --- Russell M. Taylor II, Ph.D. russ(a)reliasolve.com taylor(a)redbudlabs.com rtaylor(a)aqueti.com russ(a)outloveracism.org www.cs.unc.edu/~taylorr

error for "rosetta.run_tests"
by Smith Lee 06 Mar '21

06 Mar '21

Dear All, For rosetta installation for use in phenix, in the .bashrc I have: export PATH="/home/usrname/rosetta_src_2020.08.61146_bundle":$PATHexport PATH="/home/username/phenix11914122installdir/phenix-1.19.1-4122/build/bin":$PATH and I have the .bashrc file sourced. However when I run "rosetta.run_tests", I got the following error: --...... End of input processing Sorry: The RosettaScripts executable could not be located. Please set the environmental variable PHENIX_ROSETTA_PATH or add the appropriate directory to your PATH environment variable. ---- I am looking forward to getting your advice on how to solve the error issue.

phenix.molprobity geo
by Paul Emsley 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

Hello, I'd like to compare the restraints generated by Coot to the validation provided by molprobity. When I run phenix.molprobity on my model, it gives me (amongst other things) this: ----------------------- Histogram of nonbonded interaction distances: 1.87 - 2.42: 526 2.42 - 2.96: 3217 2.96 - 3.51: 3639 3.51 - 4.05: 5026 4.05 - 4.60: 6847 Nonbonded interactions: 19255 Sorted by model distance: nonbonded pdb=" O LEU A 21 " pdb=" H GLY A 26 " model vdw 1.874 1.850 nonbonded pdb=" H ILE A 71 " pdb=" O TYR A 80 " model vdw 1.920 1.850 nonbonded pdb=" H GLY A 34 " pdb=" O GLU A 54 " model vdw 1.925 1.850 nonbonded pdb=" O ILE A 71 " pdb=" H TYR A 80 " model vdw 1.937 1.850 nonbonded pdb=" HE ARG A 40 " pdb=" HG1 THR A 76 " model vdw sym.op. 1.955 2.100 -x+3/2,-y,z+1/2 ... (remaining 19250 not shown) NOTE: a complete listing of the restraints can be obtained by requesting output of .geo file. -------------------------- I don't understand this lilst. Should I be concerned by those interactions? Which of these atom pairs are contributing to the clashscore? Perhaps the details are in the .geo file? How do I get a .geo file? I googled, I didn't find the answer. How could I have found the answer without asking here? Thanks, Paul.

on rosetta installation for phenix
by Smith Lee 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Dear All, I have tried to install Rosetta for phenix use based on the guide in https://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/reference/rosetta_install.html. After the "tar xzf..." command, I added the directory for the installed rosetta (something like "export PHENIX_ROSETTA_PATH=/your-path-to-rosetta-here/") to my .bashrc (and in fact I also have added into /bash_profile) and sourced it. For the final step to build the interface for rosetta_refine, as for my gcc version is 8.3.1, I have deleted the original site.settings in the directory ${PHENIX_ROSETTA_PATH}/main/source/tools/build/, and exactly copied the content in https://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/extras/site.settings and save it as site.settings in the directory ${PHENIX_ROSETTA_PATH}/main/source/tools/build/. Command "nproc" displays 12, then I run "rosetta.build_phenix_interface nproc=12". In the running step for the above command, I remember it asked me "whether to install "sed" (I do not what is "sed" for), I answer "y" and "enter", it seems like the computer stopped. I opened another terminal, and all commands like "ls","cd" failed to work. I restarted the computer, but I cannot log into my centos username account anymore. I restarted the computer by initiating the centos secure start system, and deleted the export directory for the rosetta from the .bashrc and .bash_profile. In this way I restarted the computer and I can log into my centos user name account as usual. But as you know, my rosetta still did not work. Thus, will you please advice what is wrong for my installation fof the rosetta (for phenix use) and how to make it workable? I am looking forward to getting your reply. Best wishes, Smith
