Hi Kendall,

Autobuild: problems with modified amino ac
  1. methionines are converted to MSE
  2. I’d like to include a .cif file for b-mercapto-ethanol adducted cysteines: CME. The .cif file is one that works for phenix.refine (listed below). I suspect I am not writing the .eff file correctly:

refinement.pdb_interpretation.apply_cif_modification
{
  data_mod = cme
  residue_selection = chain A and resid 530
  residue_selection = chain B and resid 381
}


If the above set of parameters works with phenix.refine, then it should work in AutoBuild too. Just save

refinement.pdb_interpretation.apply_cif_modification
{
  data_mod = cme
  residue_selection = chain A and resid 530
  residue_selection = chain B and resid 381
}

in a file
refinement_params.eff and run AutoBuild for example like this:

phenix.autobuild data=w1.sca seq_file=seq.dat model=coords.pdb rebuild_in_place=True refine_eff_file=refinement_params.eff

Why you think it doesn't work correctly from within phenix.autobuild ?

Pavel.
