Re: [phenixbb] input for specifying labin in phenix.find_ncs

Hi Arko, Yes, I suppose you could change the labels in the mtz file...but using the labin line as Gabor mentioned is supposed to do the job as well! And yes, find_ncs does normally require a map coeffs file if you are looking for ncs from a pdb file. If you want to work around this you can supply any mtz file and specify "force_ncs=True" and it should ignore what is in the mtz file.

As you commented, I have used combinations of HA plus mtz, mtz alone, model alone, model and mtz. When the map coefficients come from a 2DFo-mFc synthesis generated by phenix.refine there is no problem as phenix.find_ncs readily detects the labels. The problem arises when I try to use an mtz from CCP4 coming from density modification in DM or directly from phasing as the column labels are not what the program wants. I suppose changing the labels should do it?. With the heavy atom and mtz case another peculiarity is that it finds operators with cc of 0.64 from the ha sites and then moves to the map for searching operators giving a cc above 0.8 and finally reports operators with a cc of 0.54 ( presumably from the map). Unfortunately the ha sites require a mtz with map coefficients to work. I was wondering if there is a way to use the ha sites alone in phenix.find_ncs?( apart from getting the matrix from superposition in coot or the programs in CCP4 suite)?. I was unable to find a way from the manual. The present case is a bit tricky because of presence of a tNCS.

If you supply both heavy-atom file and mtz, it will look for ncs in the heavy atoms and check it against the map. If no clear ncs is found, it will try again just using the map alone.

I do not know what happens if you specify both. BW, Gabor On 2014-11-25 10:29, Arka Chakraborty wrote:

Dear Phenix BBers,

I have a seemingly trivial problem in specifying column labels in phenix.find_ncs. Following the manual, on entering labels as : phenix.find_ncs xx.pdb yy.mtz params.ncs.labin = "labin FP=F PHIB=PHI FOM=FOM" , phenix returns the error : 'Sorry, cannot interpret the keyword: params.ncs.labin=labin FP=F PHIB=PHI FOM=FOM'. Any clues on what mistake I might be making will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

Regards,

Arko
