Re: [phenixbb] "H" atom refining occupancy with previous altconf residue in sequence

Hi Alex, it's a result of inconsistent behavior of phenix.reduce and phenix.ready_set (as Nat me pointed out), and so I overlooked this caveat in handling in phenix.refine. This will be fixed some time in the future. Pavel On 10/30/12 1:57 PM, Alexander Scouras wrote:

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

I'm working at better than 1.0A resolution for some structures, so am able to determine histidine protonation state in some cases. So yes, I turned off the automatic hydrogen additions. Now that I understand the behavior, I can work with it. Clearing up the histidines can wait until the end of refinement, after I've worked out the altconfs anyway.

Jeff: If you still want my refinement history, I can send it along, but it sounds like (according to Pavel) this is the expected behavior and I just need to change my refinement routine a little bit.

I was wondering if something like that was the idea, though I guess I might have expected the main chain nitrogen to also get an alternate conformation. Hydrogens are just second class atoms I guess, and that dihedral would be more important than actually moving the N.

When running iterative refinement between Phenix and Coot, adding altconfs as they come up, should you regularly be running ready_set (or anything else) after? I always just save the coordinates and then load that pdb in the next round of phenix.refine. I would continually run phenix.ready_set in this case - actually, if you're using the phenix.refine GUI I think you can just click "Automatically add hydrogens to model" and everything else will be done automatically. (If not, that's a bug too!) Unless you are
