Hi there, I was trying to perform a SA refinement for PDB# 2VZ8 using the following phenix script: random_seed=2679941 phenix.refine 2VZ8.pdb 2vz8.mtz simulated_annealing=true main.random_seed=${random_seed} output.prefix=${random_seed}
${PDB}-phx-sa.log
where 2VZ8.pdb was downloaded from rcsb, and 2vz8.mtz was converted from the cif file by ccp4-cif2mtz. But it ended up with: ******************* =============================== refinement start ============================== Traceback (most recent call last): File "/users/hz9/TOOLS/PHENIX/phenix-1.6.4-486/phenix/phenix/command_line/refine.py", line 11, in <module> command_line.run(command_name="phenix.refine", args=sys.argv[1:]) File "/users/hz9/TOOLS/PHENIX/phenix-1.6.4-486/phenix/phenix/refinement/command_line.py", line 89, in run call_back_handler=call_back_handler) File "/users/hz9/TOOLS/PHENIX/phenix-1.6.4-486/phenix/phenix/refinement/driver.py", line 1182, in run call_back_handler = call_back_handler) File "/users/hz9/TOOLS/PHENIX/phenix-1.6.4-486/phenix/phenix/refinement/strategies.py", line 229, in refinement_machine xray_structure = model.xray_structure,) File "/users/hz9/TOOLS/PHENIX/phenix-1.6.4-486/phenix/phenix/refinement/strategies.py", line 133, in extract_from_pdb_header xray_structure = xray_structure) File "/users/hz9/TOOLS/PHENIX/phenix-1.6.4-486/cctbx_project/mmtbx/f_model.py", line 302, in __init__ twin_law_xyz = sgtbx.rt_mx(symbol=self.twin_law, r_den=12, t_den=144) RuntimeError: cctbx Error: Parse error: unexpected character: NULL ************************ I tried another smaller system and it works well. Not sure what happens, and thanks for any suggestion! Hailiang
