AUTOBUILD CC
by Noinaj 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

Hi, I am new to PHENIX and would like to get a bit of guidance. I am helping a friend with her structure using SAD phasing. She has 4 Se/molecule with 4 mol/ASU. We used Solve to find her sites with nice occupancy, and then ran AUTOBUILD, just to see how it did. It is returning map correlation coeff, Z-scores, etc. What are good numbers for these parameters? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Nick

This most likely means you have downloaded the binairies that do not match your machine architecture. See the readme file: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------- Currently, the following Redhat Linux platforms are tested, and therefore supported for the distribution: - Redhat 8.0 - Redhat 9.0 - Redhat Enterprise Workstation 3 [+/- x86_64] - Redhat Enterprise Server 4.2 [+/- x86_64] - Fedora Core 3 [+/- x86_64] - Fedora Core 5 [+/- x86_64] Redhat versions prior to 8.0 are not supported. PHENIX should also install on other Linux platforms such as Mandrake, or SuSe. There are 4 different Linux installations available, based on the version of the kernel (2.4 or 2.6) and the CPU type (ix86 or x86_64). If it isn't clear which you need then type this command on the machine in question: % uname -rm The first item is the kernel version, the second is the machine hardware. Please download the appropriate installer based on this table: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - | hardware \ kernel | 2.4 | 2.6 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - | ix86 | intel-linux-2.4 | intel-linux-2.6 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - | x86_64 | intel-linux-2.4-x86_64| intel-linux-2.6- x86_64| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Currently, the following other Unix platforms are tested, and therefore supported for the distribution: - Compaq Tru64 5.1 - SGI Irix 6.5[*] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ i.e., check if if you have a 2.4 or 2.6 linux kernel and what your cpu type is. for me, I get this: 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp i686 i.e, i need the 2.6 , ix86 version. HTH Peter Hi, I met a problem when installing the phenix 1.24.1a. The installer gave me an error information "neither source nor binary availabe, exiting installation". What's wrong with my installation? Zhongli _______________________________________________ phenixbb mailing list phenixbb(a)phenix-online.org http://www.phenix-online.org/mailman/listinfo/phenixbb

run phenix in vitue linux environment
by 崔中利 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

I installed phenix 1.1a in a virtue Fedora Core 3 machine with VMware workstation 5 under windows XP on a IBM X31 notebook. When I run autosol (sad) to solve my protein, the system gave me error information "the connection to strategy disrupted" after all parameters are set, but it seems that the program is still running (for the window is still green) . However, the Autosol is showed as Finished in Job control window. Even if I leave the program running overnight, there is no solution produced. Can anyome give me some comments? Zhongli

Please direct questions and problem reports to: help(a)phenix-online.org and bugs(a)phenix-online.org Commercial users interested in obtaining access to PHENIX should visit the PHENIX website for information about the PHENIX Industrial Consortium: http://www.phenix-online.org/ This version of PHENIX has three main user interfaces: command-line tools, strategies and wizards. Wizards are available under the Wizard tab in the PHENIX GUI, and are designed to complete a complex structure determination process, making automatic decisions when possible, but prompting the user for additional information when necessary. Strategies are available under the Strategy tab in the PHENIX GUI, and are networks of tasks constructed to perform higher-level functions. Version 1.24.1b of PHENIX includes: Wizards (in the PHENIX GUI and from the command-line) ===================================================== - AutoSol - automated structure solution (from processed data to a first map and model) using HySS, SOLVE, RESOLVE, and phenix.refine. - AutoMR - automated molecular replacement, using PHASER. Followed by automated model rebuilding using the AutoBuild wizard. - AutoBuild - automated model building or rebuilding combined with structure refinement, using RESOLVE and phenix.refine. - AutoLig - automated ligand fitting into difference density maps using RESOLVE once a complete protein model is available. Strategies (in the PHENIX GUI) ============================== - Ligand screening against the top 200 ligands in the PDB, using RESOLVE. - Structure solution (MAD/SAD and SIR(AS)/MIR(AS)) combining HySS, SOLVE and RESOLVE. - Phase improvement using maximum likelihood methods in RESOLVE. - Model building using TEXTAL or RESOLVE. Command-line tools ================== - mmtbx.xtriage (comprehensive data quality assessment, including twin analysis) - iotbx.reflection_statistics (analysis of diffraction data) - mmtbx.fest (FA value calculation) - phenix.hyss (anomalous substructure determination) - textal.build (automated model building with TEXTAL) - elbow.builder (generation of ligand coordinates and restraints) - phenix.refine (automated structure refinement) - phenix.geometry_minimization (regularize a structure) - phenix.solve (solve) - phenix.resolve (resolve) - phenix.resolve_pattern (resolve_pattern) - iotbx.mtz.dump (write useful information about a MTZ file) - iotbx.pdb.hierarchy (write useful information about a PDB file) Citing PHENIX ============= If you use PHENIX for solving a structure please cite this publication: PHENIX: building new software for automated crystallographic structure determination P.D.

Problem with remotely displaying PHENIX
by Luca Jovine 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Dear all, While waiting for a Mac OS X version of PHENIX, I have installed it on a Linux server, with the idea of remotely display the GUI on our OS X machines. However, when I try to do so, the GUI briefly opens and then bombs out with the following message: LINUX> phenix Running the PHENIX GUI with /home/xray/luca/bin/phenix/phenix-1.1a/phenix-1.1a/ build/intel-linux/python/bin/python PHENIX distribution located in /home/xray/luca/bin/phenix/ phenix-1.1a/phenix-1.1a/phenix Variable SSH_PATH set to /usr/bin/ssh Variable PYMOL_PATH set to /home/xray/luca/bin/phenix/ phenix-1.1a/phenix-1.1a/pymol Variable RSH_PATH set to /usr/bin/rsh Project Details Project Name: luca Date Stamp : Thu Jun 01 15:56:23 2006 Machine : localhost Directory : /home/xray/luca PDS Server will be on ---------- localhost (localhost) ---------- /home/xray/luca ---------- Port 28537 PID 25355 PDS Server Details User : luca Machine : localhost Directory : /home/xray/luca Port : 28537 PID : 25374 Creating new Data Storage /home/xray/luca/strategies The program 'wxPhenix.py' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 6349 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) ...has anyone else encountered the same issue, and, if so, managed to solve it?

HKL2000 and Phenix?
by ckielkop 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi, I wonder if anyone else has had trouble running both Phenix and HKL2000 on the same linux workstation? Once Phenix we have installed and used Phenix, the HKL2000 cr_info license becomes invalid, and vice versa. A linux guru suggested in passing that our bash system has a 'license' file that gives the directories of the licenses somewhere, and that this file needs both license directories added explicitly. But where would this file be? Thanks for the help! Clara

TEXTAL Model from map
by Andrzej LYSKOWSKI 09 May '06

09 May '06

Hi, I have one question and one problem. TEXTAL expects map in X-PLOR format but what kind of map? One can make a number of different maps in CCP4 (simple, mFo-nFc, etc.). Which type make TEXTAL happy? I've tried to run 'Build Complete Model from map' strategy and what ever I do it seems to get stuck at: Stitching and Filtering C-alpha chains... - simply nothing happens anymore. What could be a problem? Just to mention it does build a model when I use '... from mtz' strategy.

Judging AutoSol Output
by agb838＠mail.usask.ca 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

I have some basic questions about the output from Phenix. Basically I have a data set that gave a solution, but I am not exactly sure how to tell about the quality of the solution from the outputs. The overall score is 110. I am not sure exactly what that refers to or how good/bad it is. I have attached the AutoSol.output file. Any basic suggestions at what I should be looking at, or if this is even the right file, would be helpful. The resolve.mtz and resolve.pdb look alright. They are a good start, but much improvement is needed. If anyone has some suggestions as to how to improve the output, that would also be helpful. I have also run the data through solve/resolve through the command prompt and it repeatedly locates four heavy atom sites (the data set is SAD). Yet, when Phenix is used, 16 sites are found. Why the difference and how do I tell what is working better and why. Thank you, Angela Hoffort
