Hi Tom,
Thanks for the quick reply. It would be nice to be able to use the modified amino acids in the future. We have a couple dozen structures of the same protein with different ligands, so it adds up to quite a bit of editing.

I tried your suggestion and got this:

Last login: Fri Jan 14 13:26:20 on ttys000
knettles$  source /usr/local/phenix-1.6.4-486/phenix_env.sh
knettles$ phenix.autobuild show_facts | grep semet
Sorry    semet = False
: No current run to carry on with...cannot use carry_on


I didn’t input a parameters file, and there is no semet in the structure. The autobuild.eff file says:

model_building {
    build_type = *RESOLVE RESOLVE_AND_BUCCANEER
    allow_negative_residues = False
    highest_resno = "697"
    semet = False
    use_met_in_align = Auto True *False

Any other ideas about where it could be coming from?
Best regards,
Kendall

Hi Kendall,

I can help with the first problem at least...

Can you try this:

     phenix.autobuild show_facts | grep semet

That should yield (if everything is normal):

phenix.autobuild show_facts | grep semet
    semet = False
default_semet 0
semet  "False"

If it says semet True ...then we need to figure out where the True is
coming from.  Possibilities: (1) somewhere in your parameters file, (2)
any MSE in your input PDB file.

To just override semet=True, you can just specify "semet=False" and that
may take care of the problem.

I hope that helps for that problem!

On the second problem:  AutoBuild won't build models with modified
residues, but you should be able to pass your cif file to phenix.refine
through autobuild with

  refine_eff_file_list=my_refine_parameters.eff

where this parameters file has the commands for phenix.refine that you
list below.

In this particular case I don't think this is going to do exactly what you
want, however, as AutoBuild is going to remove the modified residues and
call them "ligands" and treat them separately from the rest of the model.
So refinement may not work quite optimally.  Down the road I intend to
make AutoBuild take care of this sort of situation in a better way. For
now you might do best to run AutoBuild with a dummy unmodified residue,
then when you are all done, edit to put in your modified residue.

All the best,
Tom T
