I generated the basepairing restraint file by command phenix.secondary_structure_restraints MR.1.pdb > ss.eff . Then I opened the ss.eff file with gedit and edit the basepairing information. However, after I finished editing and saved the file, the refine program can not read the file. The error is "This application does not support the file type for ss.eff (format:txt)". I have attached a copy of the eff file. Do I have a way to solve the problem?
Aside from Pavel's answer: you can also check whether it's being parsed correctly either by going to Utilities menu->Validate parameter file... in the GUI. On the command line, you actually need to use "iotbx.phil" most of the time, not "libtbx.phil" (which doesn't understand certain parameter types like unit_cell, space_group, or atom_selection). -Nat
