Refine partially occupied ligand in active site containing chloride ions
by Stephen.carr＠rc-harwell.ac.uk 06 Mar '25

06 Mar '25

Dear phenix bb, I am trying to refine a ligand in the active site of my protein where the ligand occupancy is ~50%. The empty active site contains two chloride ions and the residual density from these ions is very prominent when the model is refined with the ligand alone. I would like to refine the model with both the ligand and chloride ions present and have been trying to do this with altLoc flags but so far with no luck. I'm assuming that since the Cl ions more-or-less directly overlay atoms from the ligand positional refinement keeps pushing them out of the density. I'm sure there is a simple way to get around this and I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Program crash

Dear all, I recently upgraded my MacOS to Sequoia 15.3.1 and found that previous phenix jobs that ran without problem suddenly crashed with the installation (phenix-1-21.2-5419) I had since August 2024. So I installed the latest on-built (phenix-2.0rc-5617) but it nonetheless crashed with the message below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cryo_fit installation
by omar.debei＠unipr.it 28 Feb '25

28 Feb '25

Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could help me with installing cryo_fit on an Ubuntu machine. I followed the instructions here for the cryo_fit installation. Then, I tried to follow this guide to install gromacs_cryo_fit. However, I got stuck at the "Install using a provided script" step. Do I need to install GROMACS separately before proceeding? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks, Omar
