Re: [phenixbb] covalently linked ligand

Hi Nigel, can we do it as part of a default phenix.refine, as well as phenix.metal_coordination? I see a growing pressure to do this... I think there is more harm not doing this at all then doing this always but not very optimally. Let's keep this in mind and discuss once we have a chance.

If you have a recent version, you can use the command-line program

phenix.ligand_linking Usage: phenix.ligand_linking pdb_file_name

Options: --version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit --show-defaults Display defaults

to get the files needed for phenix.refine. Don't make a "super residue" as I believe that will make life difficult when you try to deposit to the PDB.

Cheers

PS. Happy to help you directly if you have issues.

Hello all,

I saw a couple of posts on this from a year ago but didn't find a conclusive answer to how to tell phenix to insert a covalent bond between a cysteine residue and a bound inhibitor. I have the inhibitor (a small molecule) modeled in but haven't figured out how to insert the covalent bond. I used PRODRG to generate the inhibitor pdb and eLBOW to generate a cif file. The distance between the sulfur on the cysteine and the first carbon atom in the inhibitor is 1.8A.

Do I need to run eLBOW using the protein-inhibitor pdb to generate an appropriate cif file?

I see in phenix.refine under the PDB interpretation tab their is a box for "add link to CIF"....is this where I need to tell phenix to insert the covalent bond?

I guess I could just draw the inhibitor-cysteine complex as a modified amino acid and try inserting it that way.....
