Hi Dale, If you run AutoBuild with "rebuild_in_place=Yes" then it will keep the pieces that you have, try to rebuild them (in nearby locations), and not reassemble the molecule. Rebuilding in place is supposed to be a way to finish off your structure, and that's why it doesn't move it around. In your case, you are rebuilding in place after Phaser molecular replacement. Usually Phaser will make a compact molecule during MR, so this should not normally be a problem. I gather that in this case it didn't do so, however. With rebuild_in_place=No then AutoBuild should try and make a compact molecule. If you have NCS then it will try to make a compact molecule with NCS. All the best, Tom T
Hi all,
I have finished my Autobuild but the resulting model has some residues that are scattered in distant asymmetric units. Coot shows their symmetry images where they belong, next to the rest of the protein. I could rebuild these residues by hand in the right place, or collecte together all the symmetry operators and write a script to gather them, but being lazy would like a more automated solution. Surely this happens to other people and there is a tool that solves this problem. I've read a bunch of the web pages for AutoBuild but didn't find a solution there.
My AutoBuild command was
phenix.autobuild model=AutoMR_run_4_/MR.1-protein.pdb data=1M50-2.mtz \ map_file=AutoMR_run_4_/MR.MAP_COEFFS.1.mtz \ seq_file=../fmo-ct.pir \ resolution=2.2 dmax=20 refinement_resolution=2.2 \ cif_def_file_list=/usr/users/dale/geometry/chromophores/bcl_tnt.cif \ input_lig_file_list=AutoMR_run_4_/MR.1-Bchl-a.pdb \ rebuild_in_place=Yes
Shouldn't AutoBuild build a compact model by default?
